Is it possible to have anxiety about nothing? Because i get anxiety sometimes and dontk now why. But sometimesi do know what triggers my anxiety its the fear that ill have anxiety again, or if i have am minor health issue i sort of make it a major one. THen i thikn my anxiety is bad liek iwont be able to breath anymore. but it all starts with not even thiknig aobut it then boom it will pop in my head, then im liek shoot now its in the back in my mind until i et distracted again. Ive learned to control my anxiety VERY well then the first couple times i got it. Im scared when it happens becasue when im in anxiety i start thinknig aobut bad health problems that dont even relate anywhere close to me which makes it worse. I dont know why it happens but it only usually happens before bed when i have time to think in such stupid ways to get myself worked up aobut nothing relative. But ive ocme to accept it now its getting better and im starting to forget aobut it. In wat ways can i help me?

Talk to your family doctor and he will let you know who you should see next. Good luck

Oh, yeah it's very possible. I have very high anxiety and it usually about my kids and for no reason at all. Like I will be driving down the road and in just a split second, I will see a car and picture a crash in my mind. My kids all banged up, bleeding and hurt. Really for no reason at all! In just that same amount of time, the feeling will be gone.
I went to a Psychiatrist and had a test called the MMPI (Minnesota-Meeps Personality Indicator) and it tests for things like depression, anxiety, and any other mental problem. I used to take Prozac and Xanax for it, but now it seems to be better. It is a real problem and you should see someone about it if you can. If it keeps getting worse, it can cause real depression and other problems associated with it.

My B/F has the same problem he went to his regular dr. and was diagnosed with anxiety and depression he prescribed Lexapro for him and it has helped him quite alot. Slthough not everyone has the same problems or disorders. You're best bet is to go the doc and let him decide be honest with him and I'm sure they'll find the right thing for you and good luck.

I had this happen to me really bad. It still happens when I do the following:
a) starve too much
b) eat too many carbohydrates or too much sugar
c) have too much caffeine
d) have too little sleep
e) all of the above (eat little, making it only sugar/carbs which then will be twice as hard on the body, as will the rest of the factors that I mentioned)
Seriously...this can make u go nuts. Are you doing any of this?

Man, sounds like your brain stew is all out of whack.
Ask for Lunesta for bedtime, and tell the Doc about your anxiety. Meds can do wonders,

yes, that's the worst kind of anxiety/
i had big problems with that, every day at work I'd ask my co-workers to feel my forehead and ask them if I had a fever. I was obsessed that I was gonna die. then i had bad panic attacks about it. and panic attacks made me feel all hot and cold and weirdand ****** up and yeaaaaaaah it sucks. the best thing to do, regardless of your religion, is to pray 'jesus have mercy on me'. it works...and i'm not religious at all.

seriously, you need to take the 'backseat'. Just sit back and chill out. This can sometimes help in anxiety.
