What does a person with anxiety go through in terms of struggles and feelings (mental or physical)?

It's basically the "fight or flight" mechanism gone haywire so you're on high alert all the time. What a "normal" person feels during a scary event we feel all the time. This causes everything from racing thoughts and rapid heartbeat to depression and substance abuse.

That's my summary :)
