Thank you for sharing this with me. Anxiety can feel really overwhelming, especially when it shows up in your body like that. Getting tense and feeling cold feet is your body’s way of saying it feels unsafe even if there’s no real danger.
You don’t have to face this alone. Would you like us to talk through what usually triggers these episodes? Sometimes just naming what’s happening and breathing through it slowly can make a big difference.
