I found myself getting upset by trivial things.

I was aware of dryness of my mouth.

I experienced breathing difficulty (e.g., excessively rapid breathing).

I tended to overreact to situations.

I had a feeling of shakiness, like my legs were going to give way.

I found myself getting upset rather easily.

I found myself getting impatient when I was delayed in any way, like by elevators, traffic lights, or people who kept me waiting.

I perspired noticeably, like with sweaty palms, even when I wasn't doing anything physical.

I felt scared without any good reason.

I was aware of my heart rate, even when I wasn't doing anything physical.

I found that I was very irritable.

I felt I was close to panic.

I found it hard to calm down after something upset me.

I found it difficult to tolerate interruptions to what I was doing.

I was in a state of nervous tension with what I was doing.

I was worried about situations in which I might panic and make a fool of myself.

I've meditated, practiced yoga, prayed or exercised as a way of slowing down my mind and releasing tension in my body.

I've used a (non-prescription) drug or alcohol to ease the tension and stress I'm feeling.

I've used a self-stimulating behavior ("stimming") such as nail biting, cheek/lip biting, hair pulling, rocking, over-eating, masturbating or seeking sex when I feel overloaded and stressed.

I've found myself obsessing over something when I'm stressed such as cleanliness, organizing, or setting high expectations for others.
