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.

Does anyone else get incredibly anxious before school/work eventhough there isn't anything bad happening? I feel like no one else get's this because whenever I ask my friends they look at me weirdly.

I don't everyday, but I do if something changes. Like for instance when I was working at a school, if we had break, the night before school started back up, I knew I would NOT sleep. I did this the other night, didn't sleep, and felt incredibly anxious. Nothing in particular, I'm wondering if it was just the time change, worrying about literally nothing, so frustrating! You are definitely not alone!

Believe me you are sooo not alone. I remember when i was in college and my anxieties were so bad that i couldn't even open the door to walk into the class. My stomach was in knots and i felt so sick. My body refused to walk into a big crowded class room. I have social anxieties. Going to work for me made me very anxious too. I thought everyone was staring at me even if they weren't. I felt like i wanted to run away. Just know ur not alone hang in there. Big hugs

People who don't get anxiety don't get this. Only peope with anxiety get it. I actually think it's hormones or chemicals happening in our sleep. Or maybe we're not getting enough sleep. Going to bed early does DEFINITELY help this. As does drinking lots of water and trying to avoid sugar within reason. Also definitely take a multivitamin. That seriously does help.

At any rate I think we wake up with all these chemicals in our bodies that make us fearful and worried even when things don't go wrong. Part of curing yourself is learning this sensation and seeing it as physical, not actually to do with real danger. Just some chemical process your body is doing (badly). Then you don't have to worry about your life the same. You don't have to worry what you did or said, or will do or will say - you know it's just a chemical thing that's uncomfortable but you have to put up with till it's been processed.
