What Does Anxiety Feel Like?

Anxiety doesn’t always look like panic attacks or constant fear—it often shows up quietly in your body, your thoughts, and your relationships. If you’ve been brushing it off as “just stress,” you’re not alone.

Here are some of the ways anxiety might be showing up for you:

Physical Symptoms

Racing heart, tight chest, shortness of breath, sweating, or feeling lightheaded.

Emotional Symptoms

Constant worry, fear something bad is about to happen, or an underlying sense of dread.

Cognitive Symptoms

Mind racing or going blank, trouble concentrating, or looping negative thoughts.

Behavioral Symptoms

Avoiding social situations, over-preparing for everything, needing constant reassurance, or snapping at loved ones.

For many of the clients we support through anxiety counseling in Montebello, CA, these symptoms feel overwhelming and exhausting—especially when you’re trying to keep it all together on the outside. But anxiety isn’t just something you have to live with. There is support. There are tools. And there is a way forward.

Generalized Anxiety (GAD)

Persistent, excessive worry about everyday things—work, relationships, health—even when nothing is “wrong.”

Panic Attacks

Sudden waves of fear or dread that seem to come out of nowhere, often with physical symptoms like chest tightness, dizziness, or feeling like you can’t breathe.

Fear of being judged, rejected, or embarrassed in social situations—even in casual conversations or work meetings.
