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...
Hey, I've had anxiety off and on my whole life. I go years between bad times, my question is, why does it keep coming back?

Years ago, I won a mirrored armoire from my job. It's in my bedroom but I rarely stand in front of it. Yesterday, I had to have a dexascan done so I had to change into a gown. There was a full length mirror in the changing room. I'm aware that I gained 5 to 7 pounds over the last year from cheating on Keto but I didn't know what it looked like. It was a reality check.

What helps to sort through the anxiety to bring it back to normal levels is to move, that releases the physical symptoms fast naturally. Get hydrated, as even mild dehydration can create the anxiety sensation. Then, put yourself into the moment, and do what needs to be done in the moment.
Best wishes. You are not alone with this.
For me, anxiety is worst when there is an open-ended outcome and I am forced to have patience I don't have and I start thinking the worst. I very quickly can think my whole life will fall apart because of whatever it is. Also, things like dr. visits; the wait, the tediousness, etc. I magine with a new baby you have a lot of dr. visits.
Perhaps if you think about the times your anxiety has been most painful, you can see that there are things the various situations have in common, and deal from there. For me, talk therapy, meds and a support system (such as this website) help a lot. I also pray, if you are into that sort of thing. But different things work for different people.
I hope you have a good day and that you find the answers you need.
