Ever find it's really difficult for others to understand what an anxiety attack is like?

When you're not in the midst of one, it's hard to understand.

It's hard to talk about for sure.

Hi, I have general anxiety disorder and social anxiety disorder.


I know that warm sweat feel with nausea and a hollow chest that’s collapsing in on you feeling well.,,

Anxiety attacks suck. I have them sometimes. People don't understand at all.

Thank you so much for describing the feeling of an anxiety attack! I feel this way a lot of the time and always considered it normal anxiety. No wonder the deep breathing exercises don't help...
