Sick of this anxiety
Hi all. This is my first day using this app. Feeling a little frustrated with my anxiety today and the fact that no one seems to understand how physically crippling It can be. I feel like theres an elephant on my chest and my thoughts are racing. I cant get myself to commit to doing breathing/mindfulness exercises even though I know theyll help.

Hi Welcome to the app! I hope you find it useful.
I get how frustrating you must feel when no one seems to understand, I think most people would feel the same as you.
And I know once that anxiety kicks in, sometimes its too late to try breathing or mindfulness even though they are very effective like you say, but it seems that the only option is to ride out the storm, and try to catch it earlier next time by learning to recognize the signs of an upcoming attack.
Take care

Hi Wonderfully Made,
What do you normally do when you find yourself at that level of anxiety? I'm sorry it affects you so much physically - it can be really hard to get out of that state once you're in it, especially with other people around.
