The symptoms that arise from anxiety depends on the specific anxiety disorder. However, many of the conditions feature the same symptoms as GAD: a sense of dread, feeling on edge, irritability, problems concentrating, or restlessness. Other typical symptoms are racing thoughts, problems sleeping, changes in appetite, and having trouble concentrating on anything. It is also quite common to find yourself disassociating, which means it feels like you are experiencing what's going on around you from an outside perspective; you're watching it without feeling it. The disassociating can also make it feel like you are not connected to your body in some way.
