What goes through your head when you have anxiety?

[UniBeliever]

When I start to have anxiety blobs of life flashes through my thoughts but my mind stays blank like I can't focus on anything else.

You too!!! So many different thoughts, feelings, & emotions occur all at once. There’s no ability to focus on getting better or doing something that will distract from the mania. I often cry too, bc I know my mind is so ill.... that I feel caged & unable to move on.... This leads to feel unloved & hopeless

It’s weird, intangible. I don’t get specific thoughts, just a feeling of doom approaching. And then I want to isolate myself. It also wears me out. Definitely a trapped feeling. I try to figure out what is causing it, and I start worrying about work and other obligations, and how I just want to curl up and hide from it all.

Usually a lot of rumination. Generally things I have no control over or didn’t have control over at the time. All of that coupled with the big cloud of doom that something horrible is about to happen at any second. I get so caught up in worrying that I feel like I can’t remember happenings from the day.

I have moments where I suddenly have upto 5 fears consume my mind, then the physical symptoms start, I panic and try and block the thoughts out, I usually end up with head in my hands and in tears, it's awful, that feeling of losing control of your mind. It's remembering that it will pass that halls me. I try to distract myself as much as possible, but if I don't have a phone or anything I can use to distract me, I have to ride it out.
