Does this sound like the set of challenges you might be facing?
- I always wait until I’m already in full panic to try to calm down, and by then it’s too far gone for anything to work
- The instant I feel my heart skip or my chest tighten, I’m sure something is really wrong with me, and the fear of the sensation spins it into something bigger
- The second I feel my heart pound or my chest tighten I clench up and try to force it to stop, and the fighting just cranks it higher
- My anxiety lives in my body
- I can feel it starting to build
