Yes, I am not sure how to explain it but in a way my body floods with it. It’s like everything around me stops and I can hear my heart beating fast. It’s can be scary sometimes because when I think of horrible things in my thoughts I have that same feeling. Almost as if you are making out with someone it feels like a high you reach it’s very confusing to explain.

Literally I have the same experience! The only difference really is sometimes I have the pure rush without the thoughts just the anxiety and the urge to run away. But most of the time I have it with the intrusive thoughts

@Viny I experience this more than when I’m arguing with someone. I always avoid confrontation often times it’s like I’m paranoid or maybe I think I’m hallucinating. 2 weeks ago I was waiting for the bus at the rough parts of the city and I decided to get a drink from McDonalds I was walking and all I could hear was my heart beating fast my mind was blank next thing I know I was adjacent to a man on the sidewalk I froze and backed in a corner I thought he was going to kill me. Turns out he was a nice dude and taught me next time to run the opposite direction instead of in the corner because if he was a bad man he would’ve killed me. I was relieved he was a good man but ever since then when I walk at night I am scared someone will attack me. The way my mind saw him coming toward me was like he was darting full force in my direction.

@miku -_- I feel this anxiety in two instances. When I am walking alone and it’s dark because I am a female and I don’t have pepper spray or a taser. Or when I am in closed tight spaces I am very claustrophobic to the point I get this feeling and I pass out it has happened before.

What I try to do when I am triggered is bite my tongue or distract myself especially when I am actively arguing with someone it like I can get so angry my heart rate rises and I can hurt someone. I’ve had a couple instances where that has happened and I felt immense guilt because I physically hurt someone and after it felt as if I wasn’t in control it’s like my mind was blank and next thing I know all I can hear is my heart beating fast and my hands on the person. So best thing to do is walk away if it’s a person triggering you and come back with a cool mind. If it’s an object triggering you do the same walk away and come back with a cool mind. Trust me objects can be triggering also I want to smash a shoe rack I was making because it took me 2 hrs to build and I was stressed come to find out I kept putting the pieces backwards 😭

That sound very intense I'm so sorry this happens to you. I had similar reactions some time ago, specially when I get stressed enough it boils up to anger I don't hurt others but myself and objects. :/

@Viny I guess the best thing to do is try to keep a cool mind. You’re not alone It’s an uncomfortable feeling when you experience it :( you can always message me if you need a person to talk to :)
