The more you resist the more an attacker keeps on going if you catch my drift. Sort of like a victim not resisting an attacker and so the attacker stops by getting bored. I have always been told you cant fight anxiety directly but by accepting it for what it is and saying ok its anxiety I cant do anything but let you get on with what your doing to me and then it will start to pass. We are always still here no matter if our anxiety is upon us or left us. So, why diminish the very physical aspects of the illness when they are, indeed, physical and as such can help in the fight against the stigmatization of various mental illnesses?
It is only due to personal weakness that they have issues. When those who doubt that mental illness is real, they often say that there is no physical evidence and that the sufferer has complete control of it. The only reason I care about whether it’s classified as physical or mental, is due to the stigma of this and other brain disorders. In my opinion, those are very much physical action and it’s an illness because it occurs at times where it may not be warranted. You even list physical responses when you describe the illness:Īdrenaline is released into the bloodstream I don’t quite understand why you say that this is not a physical illness.

It might be reassuring to know that all anxiety symptoms can be explained by the release of hormones in the system, incorrect breathing and the body preparing for the fight or flight response. Some parts of the body are more sensitive to these than others which is why different people have different symptoms. Stomach cramps, diarrhoea, nausea and other intestinal symptoms.Chest pains and other symptoms similar to those of a heart attack.Difficulty breathing or Hyperventilating.Unshakeable feelings of dread, apprehension, and irrational fears.Muscles tense up in preparation for impending action which can lead to stiffness and pain. This can cause chest pain, painful throat, nausea and even diarrhoea. The longer the food stays in the stomach the acid will back up in your oesophagus. Which is why our appetite is reduced when extremely anxious. (that is the reason you feel suffocated while you’re having a panic/anxiety attack) Eventually, this will cause pain because your chest is expanding beyond its limits and pushing on your rib cage.ĭuring the fight or flight response especially, the body completely shuts off the digestive system because we don’t need it at that moment. You will start breathing very deeply without needing to do so and this will cause you to accumulate extra air in your chest and diaphragm area that you don’t need. When these are produced in the body, the heart-rate is stimulated, air passages and blood vessels dilate, as well as a number of more minor effects. When the body is very anxious the nervous system gives a signal to release certain hormones, (adrenaline and cortisol). If you were in some kind of danger you would need to act quickly to defend yourself, that’s why we have a built-in fight-or-flight response that our body activates once we feel any type of threat. Take a minute to think about what happens to your body when you’re having a panic/anxiety attack it is in fear response mode. The symptoms we experience with anxiety are real symptoms but they are not due to a real physical illness.
