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.

Hello
Has anyone felt this way, that everything is going fine and then suddenly without any known triggers the anxiety creeps in. I was feeling fine and then suddenly the palpitations started again. I am trying deep breathing and relaxation excersises but it really baffles me as to why it suddenly out of nowhere attacks you. Any ideas. Thanks

I did the dumbest thing today. I charged my earbuds, unplugged the block and put the block in my little bag instead of the earbuds. I wasn't happy about that when I got to the gym. What a dummy!

Ever since I stopped doing therapy because of insurance, I've been feeling that old tense and irritable sense of anxiety and stress. I hate that. I was making so many strides and changes during therapy, my therapist would acknowledge all of my progress and accomplishments, and I miss that reassurance.

I have more possible sources for those mystery attacks than I have energy to type them out. Often times, I never do figure out the source.

The source often becomes clear after I calm myself and I regain my senses.
Best wishes as you find your better balance.
Hang in there.
I know EXACTLY what you are talking about. See my most recent post.
Even when you feel the most together and have armed yourself with good strategies, anxiety can come creeping back in. In my case, unexpected massive panic attacks.
Remind yourself that it is a marathon, rather than a sprint, and continue to work towards mitigating and improving your responses to it. What I find, is the frustration and inevitably the reoccurring anxiety comes when you've not exhibited the patience. Or like Arfie reminded me: that you fall into an "I'm cured" mindset without the daily ongoing work.
You aren't alone.
