I’ve had diagnosed generalised anxiety as well as panic disorder for a bit over 8 years now and I usually don’t think too much about this but tonight i just can’t stop thinking about it. Is there any correlation between anxiety and excitement? The physical symptoms for me are the same, tight chest/throat/irritable/dizzy/blurred vision ect. And I find doing things I enjoy/get excited about give me the same sensations. Its difficult for me to watch movies, read books and play video games. Stuff I genuinely enjoy doing but have a very hard time doing it. Is that normal? Does anyone have any helpful advice in dealing with that?  My solution has always been to step away and try to calm myself down. But by doing that I start feeling like I don’t want to do any of those things because of the uncomfortable feelings I get while doing them. I should add that I do take medication for anxiety. I appreciate any advice on this. Thankyou.
