symptoms when youre not feeling anxious?

is it possible for symptoms of anxiety to appear when youre not currently stressed, even if youre calm at the moment? And can symptoms happen awhile after you feel anxious or does it always happen while youre anxious?

the crazy thing about anxiety is that it can show symptoms when u are anxious, after u are anxious and when u dont feel anxiety.
i have had them all for years. even if u dont feel anxious, there is still an underlying anxiety condition.
i can be just relaxed reading a book and suddenly feel muscle twitches or tingling in my arms or legs, racing heart, etc i basically ignore it now and it subsides. or i do deep breathing to get control. I never let it upset me cuz its harmless, and i dont want to give it control over me. i feel a lot better being in control. :heart:

Hi Anna yes it is possible because I am in a constant heightened anxiety state 24/7 even when I dont feel anxious or stressed. I have been this way for so long that my mind and body have become accustomed to this and doenst know any different. I have suffered since I was 11. There are other conditions that are a part of anxiety like DR and DP which I have again at the moment.

okay i figured that could happen, i just wanted to see if anyone else goes through this. Thanks!:slightly_smiling_face: Ijust need to relax more

Yea I think im like that too, i cant tell what i feel anymore. Its hard to keep.track at thiz point

I understand completely. I dont know how i feel some days its like i feel off but dont know why. I hate it cause it makes living hard. I am having bouts of dizziness these days too which i hate. Hoping its just the anxiety but as always i fear the worst. Just wish i could go back to how I used to be 8 months ago.

Oh yes definitely you can have them anytime. For some of us it only takes one tiny trigger to get us feeling anxiety and sometimes it just spirals from there. Once you can finally get to a point that you can just let it go once you start feeling it, things come and go so quickly they start to not affect us anymore. I’ve been working on this for many years and still not mastered it yet but I do feel much much better then I used too.

i constantly think the worst too, its annoying

yea my problem is that i keep focussing on it and think its something else and i obsess over the symptoms trying to figuree out what disease it is

which jist makes the symptoms stick around longer
