POLL: What is your worst anxiety symptom?

[Gilly 1086]

Maybe I should add an 'all of the above' lol But if I had to choose one it would probably be the derealisation.

[thinker247 4]

Nausea, nausea and more nausea lol. FML...

[fortheo 15]

whichever one i have at that moment lol.

but over all Derealisation/Depersonalisation and feelings of doom would be my least favorite. I remember thinking my hands were someone elses, freaked me out big time lol.

[Twinks* 16]

DEPERSONALISATION!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! BOO!!!

[Ninja Kitty 15]

I would say all of the above tbh xxx

Me too, all of the above ... x ((hugs))

[JOYCICLE 654]

I go with PALPS/ DPDR/Doom......... they go hand in hand. Who can remove them from each other? Whent he palps start , the dread starts, etc

[panicstricken 4]

My vote is the feelings of doom. I'm constantly thinking that the anxiety will never go away and I'll be permanately stuck in agony.

[mrsalphabet 4]

Do I have to pick just one?????? lol

I would say the heart palps. Mainly because it then triggers my heart attack/stoke anxiety. A close second would be the shortness of breath, followed by dizziness/lightheadedness.

Anxiety is so much fun isn't it?

[farrah 2]

LOL put me down for all of the above. I also experience what I refer to as "the sweats".... everytime I am getting ready to leave the house, my anxiety must be shooting through the roof. My neck and head sweats making it almosy impossible to do my hair! I just hate when that happens. No matter how low I set the A/C I am still sweating hard!

What do you call it when you keep seeing pictures of bad things happening? I mean a classic one for me, which sends me straight the doctors is when I am travelling and have a constant image of either the car breaking down or something crashing into me.

[kinser 3]

Most of the above. I really hate that initial feeling of adrenaline shooting through my chest. And then the racing and intrusive thoughts that follow, along with inablility to concentrate.

[JungleJulia 235]

Why is palps winning!!!??? Come on Dizziness!!!!

[nattytat 0]

The tingling and numbness is the worst! This wasn't on there but I get really bad stomach aches when I am experiencing anxiety.

Honestly, all of the symptoms really suck. I tend to get so lightheaded, irritable and frustrated.

I voted for shortness of breath. Although I experience something else not on the list, but I can't quite put my finger on it.

[sandooch 0]

Yes, I would have checked more than one answer as well. But the feeling of doom tops my list. I hate having the feeling of loss of control like that. I know I'm not going to die, but it just feels like I am.

[DonF 5]

Muscle tension here, mostly in my scalp. Easily my worst symptom, but some of the others can be just as annoying. It got so bad a few months ago that my feelings of doom were kicked up about 5 notches. Not a place I want to visit very often.

[Ghost 0]

Despite dealing with stuff like trembling and feeling faint at my worst, I have to say a combination of irrational, intrustive thoughts combined with a feeling of dread/doom. It takes everything in me to fight them on my bad days.
