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...
I have anxiety attacks all the time. It's consuming my life. I have health anxiety and every little wrong thing I feel in my body, I panic. I think I'm going to die all the time for no reason. Does anyone else feel this way.
Secondly; I don't get anxiety from health any more although I did until I was maybe 30. After that I wanted to die... but I do get good quality panic attacks from anyone or anything around me suffering from neglect if I can't fix it. I had a doozie of one a year or so ago when the neighbour had a dog that had no access to water. and recently I read about someone who died in prison, and I won't pass on the details in case it triggers anyone here; and it kicked off my most recent cycle. I am trying to head that reaction off at the pass... I'm on day four and I haven't stopped eating/sleeping/lost it. So I consider myself to be doing well.
I would see about getting a test for MTHFR gene mutation, one of the side effects can be anxiety disorders. Does it run in your family? Is that due to problem solution techniques (counselling would help) or genetics (the test would help because they give special absorbable folates to you for that.)
