Neurotic Anxiety is “a reaction that does not match the threat and results in blocking off of activity and awareness.” (Feist, Feist, & Roberts, 2018) If you are living with crippling anxiety, you may not be as sensitive to or aware of the anxiety symptoms you are having.
You will feel like your heart is beating so fast and you just woke up or just had a heated argument. This is your fight-or-flight system working to try to protect you.
A lack of food throughout the day in combination with a stressful day can make you lose all concentration. Stress and anxiety can be exhausting and your body won’t be able to think.
It’s great to be driven and a go-getter. In order to keep that up you have to know when to shut it down. Try going to sleep before 11 pm because your body wakes itself up more after 11 pm if you fight it.
I feel like this is one of the anxiety attack symptoms that people do not have a clue about. When you eliminate foods out of your diet that you believe you are sensitive to. Then you still have an upset stomach or tightening feeling.
