The definition

So yesterday I went to the beach and then I couldn't go to sleep and today is bad.
Though maybe bearable enough. Adn I have therapy today.

So what is this anxiety like?

I think it's comparable to a headache. Some kind of internal pressure. Physically, I feel it on my shoulders, sometimes in my throat, sometimes in my gut. Emotionally, I feel tension, I'm unable to relax and let go.

And why is it so crippling?

Well, imagine having a headache. Say you have a small headache that makes doing everyday things maybe a little more difficult, but you know it'll go away soon.
Then, imagine having a bad headache. Of course you take a pill and go lie down until it passes.

But then imagine having this bad headache and having to do everyday things, and imagine it never going away. Only being less and more strong, but always there. Imagine not being able to take a pill and lie down to make it go away. Imagine having to go, day by day, being limited by that headache.

Makes sense?
