slow, deep breathing, like you'd normally breathe to short, shallow breathing, and that's to conserve oxygen because your body will need it to fight or flee, then your heart starts beating really quickly.
And that can be really scary because it can feel like you're going to die.
It can be really scary.
But hearts know what they're doing, and your heart is just doing that to pump the fuel around your body to get it to the muscles so that they can do what they need to do to keep you safe.
Then your arms and legs might get tight.
That's why sometimes you get shaky and wobbly.
That's the neurochemicals going to the muscles in your arms and legs so they can – your legs so they can flee, your arms so they can fight.
Your body starts to sweat to cool itself down in case it has to fight or flee.
So that's why you can be really clammy or sweaty even on a really cold day.
And one of the other things that happens is any process in your body that isn't absolutely necessary –
for your survival in that moment will shut down.
It'll just take a little break.
It'll come back on as soon as everything's safe and everything's fine again.
So it's no big deal, but it feels like a big deal.
So when your digestion shuts down, that's how you can get butterflies.
It can feel like you're going to vomit and that can feel really awful too.
So there are all of these physical symptoms that happen naturally
with anxiety that can feed into those.
I feel awful and it feels scary and I feel panicked.
So there must be something bad that's going to happen.
