I’m new to this forum, and i’ve experienced anxiety symptoms for @ 1 year. Symptoms include: restlessness; tense muscles with “knot” in stomach, fesrfulness, inability to concentrate/focus, indecisiveness; feels like something is hindering me from starting/completing tasks. Lately, i’ve Also experienced extreme irritability. Is this normal? I currently don’t take any anti-depressant meds.

Please help.

It’s normal symptoms of general anxiety disorder.

Excessive, ongoing worry and tension

An unrealistic view of problems

Restlessness or a feeling of being "edgy"

Irritability

Muscle tension

Headaches

Sweating

Difficulty concentrating

Nausea

The need to go to the bathroom frequently

Tiredness

Trouble falling or staying asleep

Trembling

Being easily startled

Yes. This is what my anxiety feels like. Sometimes my mouth gets dry and my chest gets tight.
