Yes, I am not sure how to explain it but in a way my body floods with it. It’s like everything around me stops and I can hear my heart beating fast. It’s can be scary sometimes because when I think of horrible things in my thoughts I have that same feeling. Almost as if you are making out with someone it feels like a high you reach it’s very confusing to explain.

Literally I have the same experience! The only difference really is sometimes I have the pure rush without the thoughts just the anxiety and the urge to run away. But most of the time I have it with the intrusive thoughts

@Viny I experience this more than when I’m arguing with someone. I always avoid confrontation often times it’s like I’m paranoid or maybe I think I’m hallucinating. 2 weeks ago I was waiting for the bus at the rough parts of the city and I decided to get a drink from McDonalds I was walking and all I could hear was my heart beating fast my mind was blank next thing I know I was adjacent to a man on the sidewalk I froze and backed in a corner I thought he was going to kill me. Turns out he was a nice dude and taught me next time to run the opposite direction instead of in the corner because if he was a bad man he would’ve killed me. I was relieved he was a good man but ever since then when I walk at night I am scared someone will attack me. The way my mind saw him coming toward me was like he was darting full force in my direction.

@miku -_- I feel this anxiety in two instances. When I am walking alone and it’s dark because I am a female and I don’t have pepper spray or a taser. Or when I am in closed tight spaces I am very claustrophobic to the point I get this feeling and I pass out it has happened before.

What I try to do when I am triggered is bite my tongue or distract myself especially when I am actively arguing with someone it like I can get so angry my heart rate rises and I can hurt someone. I’ve had a couple instances where that has happened and I felt immense guilt because I physically hurt someone and after it felt as if I wasn’t in control it’s like my mind was blank and next thing I know all I can hear is my heart beating fast and my hands on the person. So best thing to do is walk away if it’s a person triggering you and come back with a cool mind. If it’s an object triggering you do the same walk away and come back with a cool mind. Trust me objects can be triggering also I want to smash a shoe rack I was making because it took me 2 hrs to build and I was stressed come to find out I kept putting the pieces backwards 😭

That sound very intense I'm so sorry this happens to you. I had similar reactions some time ago, specially when I get stressed enough it boils up to anger I don't hurt others but myself and objects. :/

@Viny I guess the best thing to do is try to keep a cool mind. You’re not alone It’s an uncomfortable feeling when you experience it :( you can always message me if you need a person to talk to :)

running out of strength..
today again...erp and a strong feeling that it somehow arousel me and creates adrenaline, and the longer I expose myself to the thoughts, the more wild and detailed the images in my head become, accompanied by the feeling that I like reality as well...

Years of constant Anxiety leading to Panic attacks
I am trying to see if there are others like me. For the past 12 years, I’ve had crippling Anxiety that leads to intense panic attacks. I’ve been in and out of Ambulances and ER rooms and have called 911 several times. The panic is that intense. I can be just driving down the road and out of no where, BOOM! Hit by the anxiety bus. Most of the time it leads to me panicking, thinking I’m going to die or something is fatally wrong with me. The fear is so intense that I can only find a fraction of calmness by consistently checking my blood pressure, putting on a pulsometer and even checking my blood sugar until it passes. I’m not even a diabetic. I’m always having intrusive thoughts that doctors can’t even fix me. I’ve never met anyone else like me. I feel so scared sometimes that I’m going to loose my mind and that I’m going crazy and will end up in a straight jacket. Then I get another attack just thinking about that as well. Starting new medications freak me out too. If I experience ANY minor side effect, I immediately panic and freak out. I’m being so held back by this . This is a constant obsession that I can’t shake. It’s like I walk hand in hand with Anxiety and panic. Anyone else ever had these issues?
