I don’t often hear about the destructive self soothing habits enough. I’ve had so many between destroying the joints in my fingers to scratching my head till I bleed or hitting my thigh or shutting emotions out entirely for days at a time. Not all of them are bad! But the ones I mentioned definitely are. I feel like it’s not discussed enough about what can happen to your body if you don’t treat your symptoms.

memory loss..

fatigue! being anxious takes a lot of energy, its overall just difficult to convey to people especially when your body is exhausted yet on edge simultaneously.

That feeling you get during a panic attack when u feel like it'll last forever bc that rational part of ur brian just turns off right then and there

People always are surprised when I tell them that my anxiety makes me nauseous like 24/7 and can make me vomit.

Autism and sensory issues. Also issues with eating cuz it’s too stressful cuz of the stimulation
