Hello everyone. I’ve been meaning to find a place to share my experiences with anxiety, maybe see if anyone has been in a similar situation.  My anxiety mainly manifests itself as something I’ve seen referred to as “brain zaps” or similar terms. When I start feeling anxious, which seems to happen at random, I subconsciously tighten up physically, hunching my shoulders, squeezing tightly on anything I might be holding, and it culminates occasionally with something I can only describe as the brain zap. Maybe this isn’t the right thing, but when my anxiety hits critical mass, I experience some sort of shock to the senses. It almost feels like a pulse or burst from deep within. Think of that feeling of falling as you’re about to fall asleep, or your stomach dropping out from under you, only it seems to radiate all the way out to my extremities, and I will instinctively jerk or catch myself. At times, it’s almost like I temporarily lose my sense of balance. I’ve noticed that changes in environment, both physical and mental can bring this on. Here’s an example. The other day, I walked from my office, which is generally very cold, to outside where it was 90 degrees, and it’s as if this change brought on a wave of this weird anxiety. It’s getting to a point where my wife and others can notice these weird little episodes where I seem to “catch myself.” I guess I’m just here to see if anyone else has dealt with something similar, and what might have helped you through it. Thanks everyone
