Answer Please!

Yeah, along with the really noticable heartbeats that surely must look like the cartoons when they are nervous or in love? You know the ones that beat right out in front of their chests...sticking out about 3 feet? ;p

It is really crazy, the physical manifestations of anxiety! However, I used to have panic attacks in front of people and they never even realized what was going on in my body and mind.

Rest assured that you are not visibly 'freaking out' to anyone....but of course it will be and even better realization, when you are no longer even having the symptoms at all!

It will happen...keep up the coping skills!!

Hi there, I am an esthetician and experience the shakes too. I am always concerned that my clients will notice my shaky hands, especially when I am doing a manicure! I actually had to tell a client that I was having a panic attack while I was doing her manicure, and she said, "Wow! you paint better during a panic attack than I do without panic" She had no idea!! Most people would never know what we are feeling inside. Were usually pretty good at hiding it!! You're not alone in this, I promise!!! Take care

Thanks for all your responses. My shaking is like that nervousness you can't control type shake. I would call it jittery almost. I feel like I'm in that fight or flight response all the time but some moments are worse than others. :0(
