Feeling shaky or short of breath
Tightness in the chest or chest pain
Intrusive, racing thoughts
Difficulty sleeping or focusing
Avoidance of everyday situations
A constant sense of dread or fear
And if you’ve ever experienced a panic attack, you know how terrifying it can be—like you’re choking, having a heart attack, or losing control. These intense bursts of fear are a real symptom of anxiety disorders and a sign it’s time to get support for anxiety.
