Like something is crushing my lungs -- I can't breathe & have trouble catching my breath. Constant worry.

In the past, I suffered from "it" greatly. I would feel pressure in my stomach and it would almost rise to the top. It became harder and harder to breath, and after a while I would just colapse. Usually after 15mins of falling, which was basically a strong panic attack, I would feel normal. The actual hard breathing time and pressure in stomach/chest could have lasted many hours, and not always did it result in a panic attack.

It is just something I had to overcome. I know everything about myself, and I knew the reasons that I felt like that. In time, I was able to correct the majority of it.

It sucks. . nausea, jitters, and the loss of appetite. Shortness of breath, lightheadedness, and rapind heart beats are also characteristics of anxiety.

I've never felt physical effects of aniety... well maybe a little loss of appetite..
But mainly aniety is when no matter what you do or think about.. you keep thinking that everything is wrong in the world.. your life is fucked beyond repair... and suicide seems like a great way to get rid of the feeling.
