217. Why Feeling 'Off' Can Spiral Into Panic (And How to Stop It)


Listen Later

In this episode of The Anxiety Chicks, Alison & Taylor are talking about that unsettling feeling when you just feel “off.” If you’ve ever had a random sensation or mood shift and thought, “Something must be wrong with me,” you’re not alone—and you’re definitely not crazy.


We’re breaking down:

  • Why that “off” feeling can instantly trigger panic
  • What your amygdala has to do with it (hint: it’s like a smoke detector on high alert)
  • How anxiety creates a feedback loop that keeps your symptoms going
  • The sneaky role of cognitive distortions, especially catastrophizing
  • Why not every body sensation needs to be fixed or feared
  • Plus, we share a few powerful tools that might just change how you respond to anxiety—especially when it hits out of nowhere.
  • If you’re tired of always feeling like your body is betraying you or your mind is out of control—this conversation is for you. We’ve been there, and you’re not alone. 💛
