Anxiety shows itself: In may ways. Once can mentally obsess over things that frighten the person or do behaviors to keep danger away, e.g., ritual behaviors, checking and re-checking. Physically there can be heart palpitations, shortness of breath, sweating, sleeplessness, etc. Please go to a mental health professional for support if you think you have an anxiety disorder.

Anxious feelings : Happen when your mind registers a threatening or intimidating future event & your body prepares for action (fight/flight). You can change your thoughts about the triggering situation, learn to calm your body's reaction, or deal with the situation to make it less threatening. Talk to a psychologist or counselor who treats anxiety. Biofeedback can help -- www.Bcia.Org & www.Aapb.Org.
