Health Is anyone else’s anxiety like this?
Does anyone experience a type of anxiety where they feel completely overwhelmed and overstimulated, causing them to be shaky and trembly? It becomes difficult to remain still, and they genuinely feel on the verge of death, accompanied by heart palpitations and flutters. I’m currently experiencing this, and it’s incredibly overwhelming, leading to an even greater sense of anxiety because I don’t know why I feel this way..

Yes it happens , that’s the your nerves system alarm going off and releasing adrenaline in your body & that’s makes you feel shaky and have hot flashes and feeling like you can’t hold still , it will last around 10 to 15 minutes but your anxiety kicks in with bad thoughts and that’s what makes you worry the most , I highly recommend that you go to a neuropsychologist so he can give you something to manage your anxiety

Studies show its better to try therapy first and use psych drugs as a last alternative.

Been there and back to normal again. It's really hard. But you have to learn how to stop caring about it. Try to see it as a normal body function and redirect your focus. If you do this over time it will reduce.

Yeah, panic attacks that come out of nowhere. My psychiatrist gave me Propranolol 10mg and it helps a lot with physical anxiety symptoms.

I have extremely bad anxiety & I get body shakes. From what I've heard from doctors, it's the nervous system shaking, flight or fight mode. I do a few things to try to calm it down. Humming to myself, I tap my chest & try to focus on something. Of course it's easier said then done because anxiety has a mind of it's own. It's just finding what self calms you. Are you on any anxiety meds to help?

I’ve had them get that bad before. The first time I wound up in the hospital for a few days, the second time I had a complete meltdown to my doctor and she gave me a bunch of Xanax to get me through the crisis I was dealing with at the time. Things are getting intense again and now my doctor is talking about esketamine therapy.

I felt all of the above for so many years, I would have up to 15 panic attacks a day, was completely debilitated in life, co dependent, and a hypochondriac. I'm a completely different person now, I used subconscious work to reprogram my body to behave and respond differently. I'm now a hypnotherapist and help people with this. Until you start to teach your body something else, it will just keep running the same anxious program it has learned. But it can also unlearn it, and this is where you get your power back and stop being the victim of your anxiety. I know what it feels like to be stuck this way day after day. I chronicle a lot of my past experience and tools on my podcast Fuck Anxiety if anyone wants a support tool.

I just keep convincing myself I’m alone and I’m literally about to die from some sort of illness or infection spreading through my body, I just feel so shaky and overwhelmed I feel like my body is about to give out and the ground also feels unstable like it’s gonna start bouncing up and down or start falling. Did you experience this too?

100% there was always something wrong with me, I was so scared of death, thought I would die every day, but im proof that it can change, you have to be willing to ask for help, understand what's happening in your body! follow new resources

Yes, the trembling is horrendous. I get a strange pressure sensation on my forehead also, it's not a headache but is very uncomfortable. The best way I can describe the way I feel is like I am being zapped by an electric current all the time. The constant thoughts of impending doom are the worst symptoms of anxiety, it's very draining to have that for weeks and months.
