If you could describe your anxiety in one word, what would it be?

[CMF]

There is a thread under Depression just like this so I thought why not start an anxiety one?

My word is:

Attacking

[azarrah]

Unknown.

I mean this in a few ways:

1. I don't understand it or why I have it.
2. I don't understand how it can have such severe physical and mental effects.
3. I don't understand why I can't take back control.
4. It came from, and continues to stem from, unknowns about my physical health (finally found the causes for my symptoms, but now I need to find the causes for the causes...and then work out how to help them).

Literally it feels as if there's a giant weight dragging me down into some kind of panic state and I have to fight to stay out of it.
