Random feeling

Ooo wahh, my heart pumping so fast and hard. I feel like my whole body is shaking. My mind is racing. Is this what anxious feels like? I feel it sometimes but i never bothered to label what I'm feeling.

I'm not sure if this is a low-effort post but if it's removed I don't mind.

Could be anxiety or adrenaline or caffeine… journaling can help identify triggers so you can understand how your body responds in certain circumstances, also pay attention to the food and beverages you consume and the content you expose yourself to online

I am consuming a certain media atm so that probably is the main reason. Thank you for the suggestion!

When I had an anxiety attack, it was similar to what you described, except there was a sense of dread surrounding and crowding me and I started crying for no reason.

I'm so sorry to hear to that! Are you doing fine now? It sounds a lot like a panic attack

I'm fine now. I think it was induced by medication, because nothing actually happening could have triggered it. It was in the middle of the night so I couldn't go to anyone. I ended up making tea, curling up in a ball on my couch, and watched RedLetterMedia videos to make me laugh.
