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.

I tend to get increased levels of anxiety, even when I'm around loved ones. Especially when things get a little loud, even when everyone is having a good time.

I stopped going to sporting events and rock concerts years ago because of this. I much prefer peace and quiet to noise it seems.

So this appears to be someting we deal with on ocassion. Its just a sign of general anxiety for me, and probably others as well.

Any life changing event, be it good or bad can trigger anxiety. The fact that you are now married and just moved i w/your husband could be the culprit. The best advice I can give is to keep your thoughts as positive as possible and enjoy every minute you can....hopefully with time your mind and body will calm down as you adjust to the recent changes in your life. Good luck!

I wonder if maybe your happiness is giving you excitement feelings and you're confusing with the bad anxiety, maybe. I know that sometimes I'll be happy as a clam..almost giddy feeling inside..and for a moment, it'll scare me and I'll be like, "why am I anxious when I'm so happy?"....I think that we're so geared towards anxiety that it's the first thing we go to when we're having these feelings inside of us. I think of it like this....2 women can be on a ski slope, one is filled with absolute excitement, heart pounding, shallow breathing, pure elation.....the other is scared out of her mind, heart pounding, shallow breathing...etc... The exact same things are happening to their bodies..they are just interpreting it differently.

Anxiety doesn't necessarily require unhappiness in order to exist. It comes from within us. You could be living your life long dream with the man you love, but that doesn't mean that your personality has changed or your over thinking has changed or your thought patterns have changed.
Just take what is going on with you as a sign that while you are doing a lot of good things for yourself, you need to focus more on learning to retrain your thinking, practicing deep relaxation every day in order to de-sensitize yourself, and learning to experience your symptoms without over analyzing what is going on.
Congrats to you and your husband!
