Fight-Flight-Freeze!: All of the physical symptoms of anxiety direct result of the cascade of physiological events that get triggered when ur primitive fear & rage brain centers sense danger. Learn about this "fight or flight or freeze" response. See http://bit.Ly/wzhvqo once u understand the physiology of anxiety, its symptoms make sense (like not feeling hungry). This doesn't make them feel less unpleasant though!
