My anxiety feels like:
… a thumping heart.
… a tight chest.
… short, quick breaths.
… a knot in my stomach.
… a swollen throat.
… heavy eyes.
… warm feet.
… a tingle in my ears.
… a pressure in my forehead.
… a fuzzy head.
… a tremble in my hands.
… and jelly in my legs.
I hear the blood rushing through my veins.
I feel the clammy sweat on my palms.
I smell the cold air.
I see everything.
I taste fear.
How do I look? Same as always.
