Dealing with anxiety is one of the most difficult barriers i have EVER had to deal with. I had my first panic attack when i was 15 - my mum and i were at a massive sale in a major shopping centre.., We were walking around and looking at clothes, shoes and the like.., i remember just walking next to my mum there were people everywhere, is was packed. The next thing i know i could here all the people chattering and it seemed like all their voices were inside my head, it was loud and confusing and this strange feeling came upon me.., i began to feel really warm and dizzy. I became confused and scared. I said to my mum; "Mum, i feel really weird, i don't like this any more" - She replied.., "it's ok darling, you are having a little panic attack.. Lets go sit down and have some food and water." After some time, i began to feel a little more relaxed and calmed down. I will never forget the feeling. Ever.
Anxiety and panic attacks is the worst feeling for me - it is horrible. Sometimes i feel like im dying.
My anxiety stems from a feeling rather than a thought. My body starts to tingle, i begin to feel really warm, then my left arm goes numb and i get tingles in my fingers.. Sometimes, i don't know how to deal with it. Now i am learning breathing techniques.
When you suffer from anxiety or panic attacks; Does it begin with a feeling or a thought ??
