How does your body react?

I have to go home today and confront someone about something very serious. I don't really wanna do this but I have to. Ugh.

So I am feeling a bit anxious. My face feels red and my head feels tight, like I can actually feel everything tighten when I think about it.

Annoying and weird.

My heart kinda racess and my throat goes real dry. I kinda get geared up to do what i feel anxious about then fail epicly when it comes to the time

when i start feeling anxious, i start to feel my eyes open and i realize it's a new day and i have to get out of bed.

I can't sit still and my belly aches. I get very restless and need to keep busy.

i feel like i have to shit, but i dont

my hands start to shake really badly.

I dissociate.

i bite my hands/lips, my hands shake more than usual, i can't sleep, heart races, blah blah blah. it sucks.

same here and i tend to lash out to ppl who love me.

My stomach knots and the skin on my throat and chest gets flushed. Telltale.

I wish you well in doing this.

My stomach starts to hurt..and I get real tense.

My hands and legs get really shaky.

I get fat...because I eat

Well, it went over horribly but at least it's done...for now. Now the real war starts.

I still feel like shit physically.

I get heart palpitations and an upset stomach, usually followed by the green apple splatters.

upset stomach...heart races..i feel warm.

I start organizing stuff.


Then I take a Xanax and relax.

The BG's!

My heart starts beating really hard....not fast....but hard! It's like you can hear that shit pound against my chest from the other side of the room.

Thanks.

I think I am gonna have to get used to this feeling for a while.

JustErin said:

That sucks. Hopefully you'll find something to keep your mind off of it

Ohhhh, I'm the opposite. If I put off doing something and I get start getting nervous about it, I won't eat at all.

I'll do my best!!

I can't sit still and I lose my appetite. I actually get really impatient and can't wait to get it over with.

my hands shake and my voice gets high pitched.

I get the shakes and I can't sit still when I'm anxious. I've been accused of taking uppers when that happens.

Good luck with your mission, Erin.

Seriously, I know that feeling and honestly, the only thing you can do is BREATHE. I know it sounds like some kind of patronizing new-agey cliche, but if you just sit tight and take a few deep breaths, it really does help.
