Hey reddit I've been suffering from anxiety for 2 years. My primary symptoms in the order of most annoying to least annoying include:
1) intrusive thoughts in social settings. -i.e when I'm in a formal meeting and when it's difficult to leave the room or in a bright room with a group of people I get anxious. - intrusive thoughts include 'what if i scream' 'what if i embarrass myself' - these symptoms don't really resurface when I can freely walk around. Only occurs in settings like church, concert where i need to sit still.
2) because of these thoughts i get tensed neck and body which lead to head twitching. -i.e when I'm at a barbershop where I need to stand still my head twitch a bit whenever the barber uses that electronic shaver (not sure what they are called).
3) Feel like my body will collapse or fall. -i.e just recently my legs feel really weak and it makes me anxious.
4) i get a headache and feel nauseated once a week and puke time to time. -i.e not sure if its migraine or anxiety that cause these symptoms.
5) frustration and anger - because of the above 4.
