What are the different types of anxiety?

A few different types of anxiety are: Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD), Social Phobia, Panic Disorder, Agoraphobia, Phobias, Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), and Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD). Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD) is most common.

GAD- general anxiety, happens thoughout the day regularly OCD- obsessions and compulsions, needing to do things a certain amount of times, and if you dont, some feel they may die (as an example) PTSD- flashbacks, triggers, blackouts, these can happen if, for example, you walk past a building you were mugged by, and you flashback to the trauma and relive it Panic disorder- moments of severe anxiety, shaking, you are terrified, sweating, many things, they can happen anywhere and anytime Social anxiety- anxiety, being very uncomfortable in social situations, fear of judgment, fear of public speaking, basically anxiety in most social situations I don't think I missed any, but I'm sorry if I did, have a good day! :)

Different types of anxiety are social anxiety, generalized anxiety disorder, panic disorders, phobias, ext. I struggle with social anxiety and generalized anxiety disorder. My personal experiences from this haven't been the best though I have gone through a lot of therapy that has helped me manage my anxiety. Deep breathing doesn't always help me but I know it does help many others. Not all coping mechanisms work the same for everyone. Sometimes it is based on the severity of the anxiety at that moment. It can also be based on what is going through your head. 7 cups listeners are always here to talk.

People experience anxiety in different ways. Most of the time I have a generalized type of anxiety, but I can also experience anxiety physically and emotionally. Physically, I can feel my heart racing, start sweating more, feeling like I cannot breathe, or having an upset stomach. With emotional anxiety, I mostly feel overwhelmed like I am unable to control myself and my surroundings. Almost like the feeling that you may cry at any second. Generalized anxiety can feel the most frustrating because it can be a combination of the previous two or just feeling uneasy and unsure. But what I do know is that everyone experiences anxiety in different ways.
