Dealing with Anxiety Attacks: My Experience

When I'm stressed there's a chance I might have an anxiety attack. I start to sweat. My stomach begins hurting. I feel hot I always end up in a bathroom on the floor trying to control my breathing. Crying because I know I'm about to pass out or the fact I'm losing feeling in my arms and legs. Scary.

There is a difference between anxiety attacks and panic attacks. What you describe sounds a lot like panic attacks.

Hey Anna, what you’re describing reminds me of my panic attacks. When they happen I usually sweat and feel weird in my stomach like I have to go... now! A CBT with a therapist combined with anti anxiety drugs really made the difference for me.
