Like something brings back bad memories, or of a major fear of yours that you never reconciled with. Or if you see something that triggers you. I only get BFS when I think of such things. But I also have anxiety. So everyone keeps telling me it’s my anxiety. But here’s what I keep trying to tell everybody but nobody understands or just doesn’t listen. 

I know I’ve always had anxiety. I’ve had it since I was little. But whenever I was scared of stuff like Spiderman, I got usual panic attacks. No BFS symptoms. Only now, when I think of things that fear me like a specific phobia, do I get there BFS symptoms. However I don’t even realize that I’m scared of them. If I was never scared of them I would never come to the conclusion that this is anxiety related. It’s always when this stuff gets mentioned that I have BFS symptoms. And I don’t get any sinking feeling in my stomach all my heart beating. It’s like someone mentions it and I instantly feel pins, major itches, spasms, numbness and all the rest. How does this work? I’ve been trying to find an answer for so long and this keeps me up at night
