Imagine that as a child you became separated from your parents and were lost for several hours in a crowded mall. The fear was paralyzing. There was a tightness in the chest that felt as if it might choke you. Even now, the same feeling comes back every time you worry. You try to push the feeling away by any number of things: overeating, drugs, alcohol, burying yourself in work, exercising excessively, shopping, watching tv - anything to distract your mind and numb out.
