I had a bad week of anxiety two weeks ago -- the worst it's ever been. This week I am feeling better, still feeling it, but in different ways. Is there such a thing as different stages of anxiety? The week it was really bad I had a hard time breathing, heart racing, and pain everywhere. Now last week I was doing better with my breathing. The anxiety has felt different many days. Is that normal? The past few days I've felt pain in my chest, neck, and back. Then today, I am feeling a burning in my throat, but no pain in my chest, neck, or back. I'm getting really tired of feeling all of these things related to anxiety.
