Anxiety attacks aren’t always hyperventilating and rocking back and forth
Anxiety attacks can take different forms, such as:
- Unpredictable bouts of rage or irritability
- Nit-pickiness (obsessive behavior, which may be a part of OCD), and even a hypersensitivity to disarray, chaos, or any sort of change
- Fast-talking, stuttering, stumbling over words
- Not talking at all
- Sitting rigid, staring into space, almost seeming “zoned out”
Understanding the way our or other’s anxiety works can help to decrease the stigma and help to calm a person faster and get them out of that state. These are just a few, but it gives an idea of the range in which attacks can come.
fun fact
My mental disorder isn’t my fault. I can’t control it. Stop acting like I can make it stop just because it inconveniences you.
PLEASE STOP SCROLLING I NEED ONE MINUTE OF YOUR TIME
This is for my psychology seminar final paper. PLEASE LIKE OR REBLOG THIS IF: School/schoolwork has ever caused you major stress or anxiety, which may have included physical symptoms such as nausea, headaches, elevated heart rate or breathing, or more. Please only like OR reblog, and only do it once. It will mess up the numbers otherwise.
