Anxiety out of nowhere!

Mental health

Please someone tell me they understand!

I suffer with severe anxiety and other than the usual things that set it off (crowds arguments general worrying about bills etc being late.. and so on) sometimes, like now ill be sat here minding my own business when bam! Huge wave of nausea, hot and cold flashes rapid heart beat the need to escape! Honestly feel like I will die then and there!I lie here for ages trying to convince myself I'm fine but it can some times take hours for the symptoms to stop i have nothing in particular im worried about so why is this happening? Any advice greatly appreciated

These are the same symptoms I get. Out of now where I'll get an attack for no reason! are you taking any medication?

3

Sounds like me!!! I'm trying to think it's partially perimenopause... Makes sense, I'm 44 but past month has been rough as it gets! Anxiety, anxiety, sick, lost 10lbs, today my appetite was better but not much

Hope you feel better soon

I'm 32 and have been suffering for almost 7 years now

6

Did you tell tell Dr??? What did they do if so?

7

That is the same meds I was on and just stopped taking them for the same reason. I've tried about 10-15 different medications so far. My next apt is in nov. as well

8

Well im 21 so cant be that lol.. its calmed down a little now after watching some silly youtube vids but its still there lurking!my appetite has decreased majorly to and im an absolute foodie! thankyou.. same for you x

It can be triggered from sensory overload. You kind of are the last to know when this overload occurs sadly.Its not just from thoughts. Too much activity, sound, sight, any sensory there different doors into anxiety attacks. Crowds can do it at times. Bright lights in stores. A simple thunderstorm. All sensory.

Ive tried setraline fluoxitine and a few i dont know the names of. None seem to agree with me. Hope you get sorted soon xx

I've talk to my doctor plenty. Seems like I'm always at the office

12

Exactly how I feel!

13

Sounds like depression.

Make an appointment to see your GP next week and explain your problem. We all get depressed or anxious sometimes because life is so complex

Keep a hold

Hi corab,

I don't know fully why this happens but I believe my anxiety that comes from nowhere comes from me having not dealt with certain issues that I may have not shared or recognised within myself.

Recently I've had to focus on compassion for myself and I believe this part of me has been tiny within my brain, not looking after myself mentally, neglecting who I actually am. I wud consider myself to be lost . And finding myself again I don't mean travelling the world, starting new interests, I mean accepting myself, my flaws. Forgiving myself when I'm hard on myself, which I am a hell of a lot. I feel shame because I perceive myself to be weak socially, extremely self conscious. I wish it wud go and that everytime I spoke I didn't have to fill in a form with those very words and send it to be checked, only for it to come back and it say either yes or no (you can say this) it's tiring.
