Anxiety Attacks

2:03 AM Steph




anxiety is ok as long as a 'real' threat is present since adrenaline is used up by fleeing or fighting the threat... but when no real threat is present, anxiety is bad news. the adrenaline is not used up and so the body experiences and maintains a higher level of symptoms which excalate into an attack. the symptoms may include:

Pounding heart or chest pains
Sweating
Stomach upset or dizziness
Frequent urination or diarrhea
Shortness of breath or hyperventilation
Hot flashes or chills
  Tremors and twitches, pins and needles sensation on limbs
Muscle tension
Headaches
Feelings of detachment
and a lot others


Add to the mix are strange and depressing thoughts and feelings of despair.


A terrible disease to have.  *scared
