A blog about anxiety

Hi My name is rachel and im 34 yrs old, dealing with anxiety on a daily basis with taking care of other people, few losses of a love one or loved ones. The worse one was passing of my mom unexpectedly we never knew she was going to pass away at the age of 52.

My dad was the second a year later, watching someone you love die in front of you is very stressful, planning their services. Times go by family hasnt been around. I miss things how they used to be. I bought a dog after my parents died it did helped me with the anxiety. Some people needed a friend or just a pet like myself, speaking of friends i havent hang out with anyone since covid 19, i know some of you people are struggling and making ends meet with this situation, same with me.

Well I post a picture how to cope with anxiety and stress, we can over come this and be strong. I tried to post a youtube channel about it also.

What are the types of anxiety disorders?

Anxiety is a key part of several different disorders. These include:

panic disorder: experiencing recurring panic attacks at unexpected times. A person with panic disorder may live in fear of the next panic attack.

phobia: excessive fear of a specific object, situation, or activity

social anxiety disorder: extreme fear of being judged by others in social situations

obsessive-compulsive disorder: recurring irrational thoughts that lead you to perform specific, repeated behaviors

separation anxiety disorder: fear of being away from home or loved ones

illness anxiety disorder: anxiety about your health (formerly called hypochondria)

post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD): anxiety following a traumatic event

What are the symptoms of anxiety?

Anxiety feels different depending on the person experiencing it. Feelings can range from butterflies in your stomach to a racing heart. You might feel out of control, like there’s a disconnect between your mind and body.

Other ways people experience anxiety include nightmares, panic attacks, and painful thoughts or memories that you can’t control. You may have a general feeling of fear and worry, or you may fear a specific place or event.

Symptoms of general anxiety include:

increased heart rate

rapid breathing

restlessness

trouble concentrating

difficulty falling asleep

Your anxiety symptoms might be totally different from someone else’s. That’s why it’s important to know all the ways anxiety can present itself. Read about the many types of anxiety symptoms you might experience.

What is an anxiety attack?

An anxiety attack is a feeling of overwhelming apprehension, worry, distress, or fear. For many people, an anxiety attack builds slowly. It may worsen as a stressful event approaches.

Anxiety attacks can vary greatly, and symptoms may differ among individuals. That’s because the many symptoms of anxiety don’t happen to everyone, and they can change over time.

Common symptoms of an anxiety attack include:

feeling faint or dizzy

shortness of breath

dry mouth

sweating

chills or hot flashes

apprehension and worry

restlessness

distress

fear

numbness or tingling

A panic attack and an anxiety attack share some common symptoms, but they’re not the same.
