Anxiety Symptoms - The List

[chilliconcarnage]

I get this weird "creepy" feeling. Its almost like im scared of myself, if that makes sense? I sometimes also dont like to look in mirrors or feel that im going to look in the mirror and pull an evil/angry face. Yeah i know it sounds very weird, but I think its related to hypersensitivity to anxiety and in general, fear. Its not very nice having to explain it on here but im just being honest. plus I also want to mention it incase anyone else has ever felt like this, just so people dont feel alone if they do.

Hiya Stephanie,
Yeah i am an anxiety sufferer and i get a lot of symptoms although there are hundreds of symptoms and everybody has different ones. Mine are
dizzyness,
lightheadedness,
feeling relly depressed,
sweaty palms,
unsteadiness,
hyperventalating
wobbly,
tense shoulders
numbness

and i totally hate open spaces, i start panicking when i am in a big open space, its awful. I have panic disorder and agoraphobia, i find it so hard to leave my house, ive had this for a long time, im 21 next week and trying hard to get better. its a battle but ile get there.
are u an anxiety sufferer, anxiety symptoms are horrid but they are only sensations they cannot kill you.

This was soooo helpful, thankyou. I've been having doubts that I even have anxiety and this has just cleared it all up.

Having never suffered anxiety in my 38 years (until 2 weeks) ago that list really helped. I'm new to this forum and still trying to understand why and where this anxiety has come from. Each symptom freaks me out and makes me more anxious so I'm still trying to figure out what I do from here.

heart races
short quick breaths
eyes twitch
lip tenses up and twitches

i was given k-pins by my doc, not shrink... i was taking them for over a year and my doc just stopped giving them to me... i found myself addicted to them and getting angry because she wouldnt give me them anymore. she didnt even wean me off of them so i had to detox by myself. during the detox i went back to the shrink and told her what was going on, i didnt tell her right away that i had a problem with them, she kind of picked it up on her own. my point is we cant depend on any benzos at all.... they will eventually kill us. i was so bad that i bought them from a friend (which i have never done in my life). now im suffering in my own mind because i think that they are the only thing that can help me, but on the other hand they will kill me

Are all these symptoms caused by 100% anxiety/depression? Like dizziness and reduced hearing?
