Hey everyone,

I'm wondering if anyone suffers from any kind of generalized anxiety? I'm not really talking about specific bouts of anxiety like if you have to take a test, make a speech, or do some specific thing that causes you stress. I'm talking about just feeling tense/anxious throughout the whole day for no specific reason, at least no obvious specific reason.

What kind of symptoms do you feel? I get things like heart palpitations, and I constantly find myself swallowing air, my throat feels constricted... all this makes it very difficult for me to sleep and if I do it's not for long so I'm always tired and feel fatigued. The symptoms always become more pronounced when I try and sleep.

The thing I hate the most is that when I try and sleep, or stand still and concentrate, my heart beat becomes very apparent (palpitations), and often it feels like it's beating irregularly, or that it's skipping beats. I know there is nothing wrong with my heart, but I can't get rid of this annoying awareness. Not only my heart but I feel my pulse sometimes in my wrist, or the worst which is in my head.

Anyone get generalized anxiety like this? How do you deal with it?
