Calm Down
This is something we might hear someone tell us if we are yelling or our voices begin to get a little higher pitched than normal. When your heart starts to beat real fast you might tell yourself to calm down or take it easy especially if you aren’t running or doing anything physical that would cause it. But what if the constant beating of your heart is only the beginning of an anxiety attack?
How Do I Know if I Am Having an Anxiety Attack?

You can’t catch your breath and you might feel dizzy or even have a headache. What does an anxiety attack feel like? Something like what was described before but also you might feel nauseous at the site of food or even if food is mentioned. What does an anxiety attack feel like? An anxiety attack feels like your world is crashing down and you have no way of stopping it. It feels like you will die and no one or nothing can prevent it, not even you.
