The Signs of An Anxiety disorder?

what are the first, most noticeable signs of an anxiety disorder??

it can be anything, from insomnia to weight gain/loss, constipation, headaches, panic attacks, low energy levels, you name it. None of these symptoms alone are a reason to suspect an anxiety disorder, but the insomnia, and an inability to switch off, plus obsessing about things that don't nmatter, can be the first signs. Sometimes doctors don't recognise the first signs, and it may take several visits to diagnose the condition. Even then, it may be that the GP will try and fob you off with anti-depressants. these are fine in the right set of circumstances, but an anxiety disorder usually has deep underlying causes and may have been developing for several years, and anti depressants alone are not enough. The patient will probably need many sessions with a psychiatrist plus a cognitive behavioural therapist, not to mention community and family support for a long time. Good luck.

Fear to approach the object(s)/circumstance, undue inner stress, mild/severe sweating from fear and stress, racing heartbeat.

Well, it really depends on the person. For me it was headaches, irritability, and skin problems. However, I had an ulcer for several years before the others showed up....so really the ulcer may have been the first indication of it. If you think you have one then go see your doctor. I did and it's the best thing I've done for myself!
Oh, my gosh, people...

We need to get over the "disorder". Studies have shown the biggest fear people have is public speaking, meeting new people and being in large crowds -- and the results of these are racing heart, persperation, dry throat, and urge to flight.

THIS IS NORMAL. Get over the "disorder" and challenge yourself to do things that are uncomfortable.

If you say you have a "disorder" then you will. If you say are normal and just normally uncomfortable, then that is how you will be.
Believe me when I tell you that once you have one (an anxiety attack), you will never forget it and will not need to ask us what it feels like. I am not trying to scare you but personally they are horrible, like someone is trying to push you off a cliff, or your trying to stop and your brakes are screeching because the bridge is out. BUT; DON'T FEEL HOPELESS!! There are things you can do naturally to help you (or) you can do to a doctor and get an anti-anxiety medication just for anxiety, and yes they work and you will feel much better. Just keep trying to think positive, keep busy, and maybe you won't have to stay on meds., or better yet, stay off of them.
