Anxiety is a physical condition marked by intense and persistent feelings of distress, fear, angst or dread. General anxiety caused by routine day-to-day stresses usually passes quickly and is experienced by almost everyone at one time or another. However, such feelings that linger over time and are very difficult to cope with, and which lack a clear cause, may indicate...
I dont even know what my triggers are anymore... its almost like everything... Why is it so difficult for me to be a normal person with normal emotions and feelings... I just want to wake up and feel like everything is going to be okay. I worry so much about things I can not control... like what if I get in a car accident on the way to work, and then no one can get a hold of me and I lose my job... who thinks like this!?!? Am i crazy?? Does anyone have any tips or exercises or books that could maybe help me?
Most of our fears are irrational, but many can be based on previously experienced terror that was perfectly rational at that time.
The irrational thoughts are just that, irrational and you (and all of us) need to remember that.
I spend all day wondering when I am going to have a heart attack, I mean, who thinks like that? We all have our quirks, but together we should be able to get through this.
Be strong, hopefully you will be able to find support here and have people who can help you and make you feel like you are less alone.
Despite being married to a wonderful women and father of two fantastic boys, I actually feel alone a lot and it hurts.
Be strong.
I think working on dealing with emotions can help erase anxiety. I guess I don't want to "lose control" with my emotions.
The thing that has really helped me besides meditation, has been being able to seperate my "brain" from the rest of me. So when I get anxious and racing thoughts, I can stop and step back and think "That is my brain. That is not me." I can choose to do things a little differently and "reframe". It lessens anxiety considerably.
It is not uncommon to have the fears that you have that's anxiety. I am going through something similar to what you are going through. I am scared of losing everything I own. Maybe it won't happen but I'm nervous because of what did happen years ago. The word "Moving" sends me up the darn wall.
