topic Arresting in Anxiety

Arresting

Sometimes I find myself in mid sentence and I can't think what I was going to say. This causes a jump of anxiety. Does anyone else experience this? Is this social anxiety?

I have just worked 8 days straight and have one more shift to go before I get 2 days off. I've woken this morning with high anxiety and the runs. I feel flat and burnt out.

Hey Tracy,

This happens to me as well - especially when I am busy at work. Stress seems to be a trigger for me, emotional stress being the largest.

Since I learnt my trigger for these symptoms it helped and I try and keep myself emotionally more calm.

If you are concerned I think a chat with your GP is the best thing.

Take care

Paul

Hey Tracy

This happens to me too. I will have a complete mind blank and then because I can't remember what I was going to say I end up getting more anxious. When this happens I tend to take a deep breath which steadies my heart and brain, and then I am usually able to pick up where I left off.

I'm sorry you aren't feeling very good at the moment. Try and keep away from caffeine as this can make you feel worse, and maybe get in to your GP.

All the best 🙂

Steph
