Symptoms & Support | Find Guidance Before Your Next Anxiety Attack

An anxiety attack can feel like a heavy cloud settling over you, making it hard to focus or feel at ease. Understanding what’s happening and how to respond can bring a sense of relief. At Renewing Mindsets, our team is here to guide you with compassion, helping you understand your anxiety and manage it in a supportive, holistic way.

Recognize Anxiety Attack Symptoms

Anxiety attacks can show up both physically and psychologically, creating a full-body experience that’s tough to manage, especially during stressful or overwhelming moments. While symptoms of anxiety vary greatly, here are some of the most common signs that may be present during an attack:

• Physical Symptoms: You may experience a racing heart, chest pounding, and rapid heartbeat, often accompanied by sweating or trembling as your body enters "fight or flight" mode. Breathlessness and temperature fluctuations, like hot flashes or chills, can heighten discomfort, leaving you feeling unsettled and physically drained. These intense sensations may feel overwhelming, making it difficult to focus on anything else.
  

• Psychological Distress: An anxiety attack often brings a sense of impending doom, a feeling that something terrible is about to happen even when there’s no clear reason for it. Along with this, you may fear losing control, with thoughts like “I can’t handle this” intensifying your distress. This sense of disorientation can heighten your confusion and discomfort.
  

• Neurological Symptoms and Racing Thoughts: Neurological symptoms of anxiety, like tingling or numbness in your hands or feet, are common during an anxiety attack, as your body’s stress response kicks in. You may experience racing thoughts, jumping from one worry to the next, making it hard to focus on anything else. This heightened alertness can leave you feeling on edge and constantly alert, like your mind and body are in overdrive.
