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...

When i feel like im doing anything good in life that is when i start to get real anxious. Anything that is positive that i try to do causes anxiety and anxiety symptoms such as a tight throat. If there is anyone out there that experiences this same thing please comment or anyone that has experienced this and overcome it. Thanks

Hi, I see no one has replied, and as I am a life time anxiety sufferer, I thought I should respond. I have never felt anxiety only when I was doing good. Mine would come at any time, well panic anyway. I believe from what I have learned over many years that symptoms like you have, have a starting point. Something triggered that first feeling of anxiety and that could be deeply imbedded into your subconscious. I wonder if it could be linked to fear of failure, or a feeling that you are not quite good enough. I may be totally way off the mark, but something has triggered it. Have you had any counselling? Is it bad enough to see a psychologist? Have you spoken to your doctor? I think a little proffessional help would help you manage this and overcome it, as it is specific to one thing. Almost phobic in some ways. Like a fear of snakes or flying. Usually an anxiety will display itself in many ways. I think you have a really good chance of sorting this, please just get a little professional help.

I think I know how you feel. Thinking about doing anything that could potentially be good for me, such as finding a new job where i could accually support myself...well it scares the crap out of me so I put it off. I don't know if its fear of change or fear of happiness. I guess i'm comfortable in my misery in a way, at least I know what to expect.

i agree with the other two, i think maybe you have a fear of success or a fear of failure which could keep you in limbo if you give in to your anxiety. i'm sure if you seek professional advice you could learn how to deal with this. somewhere in your head you are thinking you're not good enough. you've got to turn those thoguhts around and go for the gold!!!:) if you like to read try self help books. good luck and keep us posted!

I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
