For me, it usually stems with vomiting!. I know it sounds crazy but ever since I was young I had this fear of throwing up!. Whenver I see or hear it, or I hear of a stomach flu going around, it triggers a terrible anxiety attack in me, or whenever I'm in a stressful situation that also triggers one!. I usually hypervenilate, my heart races, I have trouble swallowing, I get lightheaded and my whole body shakes!. I think one of the worst anxiety attacks I had was a few years back I was staying the night at my EX's house and I woke up in the middle of the night just feeling really sick so I figured I'd better get home and take my medicine (I've been on Paxil CR for quite some time now!.) On the drive home not only were my hands shaking, but I remember my right foot was shaking so bad that I could barely keep it on the peddle and I just kept praying to get home safe!. While the drive from my EX's house to my house was only about 5-10 minutes, it seemed like it took forever as my mind kept thinking about what would happen if I would pass out on the road and all sorts of other things were going running through my head!. I finally made it home and when I did I just remember feeling so hot that I had to go in the bathroom and splash cold water on my face and take my shirt off!. All the while my heart was beating so fast I thought I was having a heart attack!. It was some scary stuff!.
The second one I wouldn't really call an anxiety attack but because of the situation it quickly turned into one!. It was when my Grandma died!. At first I felt the usual shock, grief, and sadness but then that hot feeling came over me, my heart started racing, I couldn't sit still and my whole body just broke out in hives!. Then I got really angry and started throwing things around the house!.
People experience anxiety in different ways!. My Mom gets anxiety attacks and some may differ from mine!. My Grandma used to get them also and they were completely different from mine and my moms, although the common factors are the racing heart, shaking, and hypervenilating!. I hope I was able to help you out in some way!. Www@Answer-Health@Com

I must admit that I too have wanted to compare thoughts with someone else, to know if what was going through my mind is "normal!." I attempted to talk to my boyfriend about it but he blew me off, he's not one to express much emotion!. Unfortunately i'm not either so I let things build up!. I'm hardly ever in control of my own mind, I guess everyone talks to themselves in their head, I don't know, but I seem to go back and forth back and forth in my mind over anything and everything!. It's like I can't make a simple decision, period!. The going back and forth sends me into panic, or an anxiety fit!. My heart will start racing, shortness of breath, and I begin to think i'm crazy b/c I can't make up my mind on anything!. I dwell on the smallest things, my boyfriend calls me a worry wart!. I'm like an overbearing people person, if I even get the feeling i've done or said something wrong the anxiety hits and I continually apologize!. Lord I probably sound crazy as a loon, I don't know if that helped or if there were any similarities, but I would like to know if there were, for my own curiosity!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
Anxiety: humm well, can't sleep, feel like I'm forgetting somthing big, or missing the big picture, or feeling like I'm missing something important!.
Cursed by trying to find out "the why" I feel the way I feel!. Try to talk about it and some dork always asks "why do you feel the way you feel!?" rather than offering a solution or comfort or a change of scenery or just being there!.
Trying to find out whats wrong is like trying to find a glass needle in a haystack and no matter who you are or think you are you can always find possibilities as to "the why"!. But that only sends you into a spiral of never ending doom!. Simply try to learn what the signs are and find ways to overcome the experience untill it passes!. That's not as easy as it sounds but I hear it gets easier and lesser in time!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

I'm I assume you mean during an anxiety attack!.
Mine happen mostly when I wake up!. My eyes open and I think that something bad is going to happen!. My thinking is very confused because I'm not sure what it is!. I start to shake, it almost feels like I'm free falling!. Kind of like on a roller coaster!. I then think of things that would scare me!. An earthquake or some kind of disaster, something I have no way of escaping!.
If I get bad anxiety throughout the day!. I'm always thinking I should be doing something else!. The problem again is "what should I be doing!?" I just know it's not what ever I am doing at this time!.
If I'm in a social situation, I'm thinking get out, get away!. Find a safe quite place!. The problem with that is it's not always easy to get there and that makes it worse!.
I know with my anxiety I just seem to make the wrong decisions!. I tend to say and do things I regret later!. I feel foolish, very self conscience !.
By the way very good question!. I like the way you worded it!. Would you care to share yours!?
Take care

ANXIETY is a physical and mental & behavioral manifestation of an excess of energy unable to be properely contained ( or properly channeled) within the body or mind!.
My anxiety comes mostly from the inability to cope with being overwhelmed!.
My heart beats fast and I have to pace to keep from having a panic attack!. I walk & walk & walk until I tire most of the anxiety out of my body!.
Unhealthy thought process!.!.!."What if!.!.!.what if!.!.!.what if!.!.!." leading up to unimaginable possibilities that barely qualify as probabilities!.
Full Blown panic attack!.!.!. Fight or flight response kicks in overdrive!.!.!.I flee!.!.!.running to no destination!.!.!.simply away from the panic!.!.!.expending energy through my legs!.!.!.slowly I begin to deflate!.
11 minutes hav passed and I am now exhausted as if I ran a marathon!.
Xanax!?!?!? Sure, I take it!.!.!.sometimes!.!.!.and sometimes I opt to deal with the anxiety instead!. It's a fight I plan to win!.
The xanax makes me feel trapped in such a way!. At least with expressed panic I have an outlet for the anxious energy!. I MAY have to walk!.!.!.walk!.!.!.walk, and yes I did spend 11 minutes going crazy, but you know what!.!.!.the energy has exscaped me finally!. It's over, I'm fine until next time which may not be for another month!. I'm sleepy, a little hungry and relieved!.
Xanax!.!.!.Still what if if if, mind still attempting to run in circles, but the body is paraylized to some degree!. Trapped inside your head with no outlet!. The slightest inclination of a rational worry or concern and the xanax says "FREEZE MOTHERF#%KER" The body gets parylized and the mind gets confused for a minuet and eventually says "Oh well,
whatever it was, fu#k it!." I don't even like the way "neuro-inhibitor" sounds!.
I won't give up!. I'll never completely give in to xanax!.!.!.or to panic!.
God will be proud!. The doctors will be dumbfounded!.
One day soon, I will turn to those little rebel-men dancing inside me and politely escort them out, never to return!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

I have social anxiety and it is very hard for "normal" people to understand this disorder!. I often think people in my family don't believe that I am genuinely nervous and scared in public!.
I have this hang up where I can't have another person standing too close to me (example: in line at the grocery store)!. It only has to be one person standing too close and I find it hard to breath, I panic, and I feel like a crowd is pressing in on me!.
A major trigger is if the person is male!. I still don't like females too close to me but, if it is a male then I have to leave and get out of the vicinity!.
I'm perfectly comfortable being close to family and friends but, as soon as I walk out the door it is a different story!.
If I have to wait in a room with a group of people (example: at a doctor's office), then I feel like everyone is staring at me and all the talking seems like roaring in my head!. When I start shaking, sweating, and finding it hard to breath then I have to go outside!.
I can't really say why I am scared, I just feel overstimulated by other people!. I was on medication (antidepressants) for seven years and while it did help me get over a deep depression period, it didn't help long term!. So, now I am just trying to do it alone!. I mentally try to talk myself through situations and for the most part I do okay!.
Good luck!Www@Answer-Health@Com
