General anxiety caused by routine day-to-day stresses usually passes quickly and is experienced by almost everyone at one time or another.

Why is it some days I feel calm and experience very little if no anxiety---but some days I am crawling out of my skin and cannot seem to calm down. Nothing has change--I can wake up feeling calm but then it just hits and lingers.Does this happen to you guys? And what do you do to calm down?

This happens to me all the time. To calm down I try distracting myself and moving around which hit or miss works. Then for me, I read about anxiety and how nothing bad truly happens and that distraction usually calms me down.

Thanks-This is exactly what I try to do-and you are right about hit or miss--it is so hard to think of anything but anxiety): I too read a lot about anxiety and self help books which are helpful and I benefit from support groups.It is comforting knowing I am not alone.

I feel the same, some day's are worse then other's, Sometimes, the anxiety disrupt's my sleep.
When I was a kid, and my parent's went out of town, I use to get physically sick, Don't know if that has to do anything to do with anxiety.

I have read that, 90% of anxiety never happen's.

    I haven't written in my diary on my computer since May because I thought that my computer was dying.  I got away from writing but my computer is hanging in there.  I think that I will start writing in it again.  It's so therapeutic.

    So voc rehab finally got in touch with me...it took like six months finally.  The voc rehab person that they assigned to me is a lawyer and extremely knowledgable on disability law and he seems to know a great deal about how to get people placed in jobs and how to make their resumes pass ATS.  I was really surprised at how articulate and energetic he is.  I guess my question is how much I...
