Used to suffer, now deal with some pretty heavy social and overall anxiety. Some of my worst instances include freezing, eyes wide open, feeling like i can't look in any direction, jumbling of words, emotional distress, looping thoughts, and so on.

Although I'm a lot better now, i had become quite the hermit from it. There was one time where i couldn't leave me house for 30 min because my neighbors were outside, and all i wanted to do was get something from my car. It's turbulence in the head. My home was my worst place, so i really had no where to go but out, but going out meant being around people which destroyed me. I just needed to be alone with my music and a lot of the time that was difficult to achieve. It really is a bitch at times. Had to relearn how to breath, look at people in the eyes, learn how to be with my high awareness of where my hands are (or any part of my body really). The list goes on and on.

One of the best things another person can do when they see someone having an anxiety attack, no matter the intensity, is simply be there for them/with them. This shit runs deep, and although i can generalize a number of concepts for simplicity, everyday/ever moment is it's own. One thing can give me anxiety one day, and the next it's nothing.

My question for you OP is What does your anxiety mean to you?
