What my anxiety feels like..
I was diagnosed with generalised anxiety disorder 18 months ago (but I’ve had it my whole life) and have been taking SSRI medication since.
So what does my anxiety really feel like:
1. Unable to control my irrational thoughts and worries
2. Constant fidgeting and restlessness
3. Heart racing, heavy feeling in my chest, shortness of breath and shaking hands
4. Clenched jaw and shoulders until my mouth, face and head hurt
5. Anger and irritability
6. Insomnia
Do you have any of these symptoms too?
I’ve realised recently that anxiety is going to be like a little shadow, following closely for the rest of my life so I’m on a journey to learn about it and normalise it in my life.
Hello anxiety, let’s be friends.
