While anxiety is more associated with mental health, there are a lot of ways it is seen in your body language too. You obviously know what you go through and explaining it to people around is very difficult. How you wish people would be able to relate to your uneasiness and discomfort. Here are few things only those facing anxiety issues can understand.

Restless: You find it difficult to keep calm. No matter what, you usually feel uneasy when out of your comfort zone. Sometimes you even feel sick in the stomach and your muscles tense. Read: 6 symptoms of anxiety you should know.
Overthinking: Your mind is never at rest. Either you are tensed about the situation, the future or things around you or having second thoughts about your own actions all the time. It soon turns into regret, irritation or frustration. You even have discouraging thoughts and you want to run away from them but can’t.
Always worried: You question everyone’s intentions. You doubt and misinterpret everything people do or say and then regret it yourself. Sometimes you even end up being worried about inanimate objects or things. It sure is difficult for someone without anxiety issues to understand why you would do that.
Arrogance: All is well and suddenly the anxiety hits in. You lose control of your own self and it’s like you have a chaos in your mind. You end up snapping back at anyone who approaches you at this time. It’s not easy for others to understand what causes this behaviour when you were perfectly cheerful and smiling a while ago.

You get impatient at the drop of a hat. Sometimes you even burst into tears if the situation isn’t going your way or as planned.
You procrastinate and worry about unfinished tasks at the same time. You panic when there is a list of jobs to be completed but can’t find a way to start.
Sudden palpitations, increased heart rate and breathlessness are common indications that you are going through an anxiety attack. You’ve usually observed this in slightly stressful situations. While others are very normal, a little nervous at the most, you may even go to the extent of feeling dizzy. Everyone with anxiety has experienced this once and you just can’t explain it to your family that you aren’t scared or under confident, it’s just anxiety.
