When mine gets really bad, it’ll feel like a slow buildup of tension that is quickly released without my control. Almost like an attack. In the past, it’s actually felt like a shock as well.
But it sounds like NT people I’ve talked with don’t see it like that 🤔 and frankly neither does the internet at large 🥴
Kind of bleachy like cleaning chemicals
Anxiety feels way better when you have a perfect diet and exercise sadly, felt better when I had more muscle and body fat!
I tried to ignore social anxiety and I got okay at that but in truly tense situations like presentations and interviews I've just gotten beta blockers laying around 😅😅😅 that way I can ignore and nobody else can see
