Tonight I seem to be struggling with feelings of anxiety. I dont know why I have been doing so well and keeping things under control...But when it comes out of the blue it scares me...Can someone help me.

Yea i hate when it comes out of the blue, i dont so much get scared but angry that ive gone so long without having one and then it creeps back up just to remind me its still there! But i do know that scary feeling, just try to talk to yourself and calm yourself down and remind yourself that YOU got through it last time and will again! God bless xo

It just scares me because a year ago I was really bad and Im afraid to get back to that point...

I also worry that something is horribly wrong with me I am so tired lately...But then again i wake up at 6;15 and go to bed around midnight or later...

I know how you feel shannon. I went 3-4 yrs anxiety free and now it's back. It's so frustrating. I hope you feel better soon! xxxxx

Hi Shannon, This happens to me too and I know how scary it can be just try and go with it until it passes...try not to be scared as I find that makes it worse,try and relax through it.

Big hugs

I have generalized anxiety disorder, so I understand. It feels strange when I feel anxious for no apparent reason. I find myself trying to find a reason. I know, it reminds you of how you felt then. When this happens to me, I try to use the feeling as a reminder of how much better things are now compared to then. Wow, I used to feel that way all of the time, now it just happens occasionally. Hang in there.

Hi Shannon, I know exactly what you mean. I have GAD, but I can be anxiety free for several months, but then out of the blue I get severe anxiety where I can't stop shaking. A lot of it I think is hormone related (I get bad PMS), but I really can't explain it. I take diazepam when it really bad to calm me down and take Celexa daily. But the only thing you can do is ride it out until it passes. I really feel for youxx

I know how you feel. I hadn't had anxiety problems like I do now for 5 years. I'm scared that it won't go away. I know it will go away or be contrallable but it will take time. I hope that things get better for you.
