Anxiety attacks aren’t always hyperventilating and rocking back and forth

Anxiety attacks can take different forms, such as:

• Unpredictable bouts of rage or irritability
  
• Nit-pickiness (obsessive behavior, which may be a part of OCD), and even a hypersensitivity to disarray, chaos, or any sort of change
  
• Fast-talking, stuttering, stumbling over words
  
• Not talking at all
  
• Sitting rigid, staring into space, almost seeming “zoned out”
  

Understanding the way our or other’s anxiety works can help to decrease the stigma and help to calm a person faster and get them out of that state. These are just a few, but it gives an idea of the range in which attacks can come.

Can we say this again for the people in the back?!
