Does this sound like the set of challenges you might be facing?
- Right before anything that matters my heart pounds and my hands shake, and I read all of it as proof I’m not ready and about to fall apart
- 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
- So much of my anxiety is the unspoken fear that I couldn’t cope if my comforts went away
- When the anxiety takes over it feels like it is me
- Looking around and naming things doesn’t cut through it for me
