Another really interesting video. I have low levels of anxiety all the time, but thankfully due to medication and lifestyle choices, mostly spending most of my time alone, I do not have any of the extreme symptoms like panic attacks at the moment. There is nothing worse than panic attacks they are absolutely horrible.

@@edstevens701 I agree ❤️

Another excellent video Amanda. I've had social anxiety all my life and I did have panic attacks in my 30s. I was prescribed lorazepam which for me was a nightmare because I became addicted. It took me a long time to get off it. Since then I tend to avoid situations that caused me anxiety in the past. I never gave it much thought about the physical effects of anxiety, maybe that's why I've ended up an arthritic old crock lol.

@JohnNicholson2 you are never an old crook, give over ❤️ I'm just trying to point out to people who don't understand its a disability that it has lomg lasting affects on us poor codgers who suffer from it. My rheumatologist said my pain was anxiety, so there you go ❤️ she also looked at me funny and strange when I gave answers, though 😄 🤣 😂 😆 maybe I needed a psychologist 😄 🤣
