Having anxiety attacks is probably one of the most unnerving bodily feelings you can ever receive.  One of the core tribulations with having anxiety attacks is that, it cannot actually be seen by anyone else, so you may feel totally lonely and by yourself.
Tons of times the individual who is suffering from an anxiety attack does not know what is going on, which contributes to the amount of the anxiety.

Having anxiety attacks can be soul destroying, it can in actual fact turn your life upside down.  I have not got this from a book; I have lived with anxiety attacks for over 20years, also my Mum has suffered with anxiety attacks as well.

My anxiety attacks would happen out of the blue, I could be out shopping having a good time, then that dreaded mood of not feeling right would start to creep up on me, then that feeling would get stronger and stronger and before I knew it I would be having a major anxiety attack in the centre of a shop.  I can tell you it is really frightening, but those of you reading this will have some sort of grasp of what i mean.  That awful feeling where you begin to feel all hot and tense, your vision starts to go and you feel like the shop is closing in on you.

How I would depict my feeling is like this, I was aware of everything that was going on around me, but I felt like a part of me had withdrawn into myself, if that makes sense.  For me I just needed quite, I could not handle it with anyone talking to me.  I had to focus on what was taking place with me.  I don’t know what I thought would happen but I just needed to gain control.

What I found really hard was trying to get my husband to be aware of what was happening to me.  To try and get him to recognize how I was feeling and what having anxiety attacks was doing to me mentally, physically and emotionally.  It was futile really; know one known’s what having anxiety attacks are like unless you have experienced them for yourself.
