Horrible , like u can’t breathe and suffer to do regular stuff and can’t cope 

Disassociation. It’s like I’m not really me when my anxiety gets worse or I’m not really there in my surroundings. Not sure if that’s the correct word to describe it though. Great post. Interesting to read how others describe their anxiety.

It's interesting to see the similarities in people's responses on here, but also the differences. Shows the universality of anxiety, but also how it can be impacted by individual experiences. 

 

Mine would be: potent.
