What do you think is one of the worst things about anxiety?

For me it’s probably overthinking every time I speak to almost anyone. I’ll try to replay what I just said in my head after I finished speaking and then I’m like, “did I say that right? Did I not think long enough about my response and it sounds stupid or wrong now that I’m thinking again?”

Much like depression, once it reaches a certain point you can't stop it. You have to endure until it passes. For anxiety this can feel like a heart attack (and may lead to one).

@raysam363 Anxiety in and of itself does not cause a heart attack...while scary, anxiety or panic is not harmful to body.
