This morning I woke up a tad anxious randomly. I didn't have any nightmares or anything like that that I can remember but by the time I got to work the feeling had subsided and I actually felt very content with my life. I work two jobs but have enough time and money to go out and socialize with friends when I want to and I just had an amazing weekend off with my girlfriend. We went to brunch, relaxed by the pool, went for a long walk with the dogs and went shopping :)

Idk what's going on in my head right now but it's super frustrating

There's probably something deep down in your mind that you might be worrying about, such as something in the future, or anxiety about something that happened, etc. But I would suggest not to overanalyze why this happened and to "forget about it".

Try your best to forget the anxiety attack and just go about your life. Easier said than done, but that is what would help the most. You'll be okay!
