It’s weird I’m not an anxious person at all but randomly I get hit with the feeling of anxiety when I’m mentally calm and then it takes me a while to figure out what’s causing it. Does anyone else have this and how do u fix it

yes oh my god i’m actually about to start therapy for this since it’s gotten so bad. one of the things i did learn on my own is that sitting with that wave of anxiety instead of trying to distract yourself makes it a lot better since it essentially signals your brain that it isn’t dangerous

I’m so confused though bc mentally I’m completely ok not thinking about anything 😭 like today it was for the meeting I had but I wasn’t worried about it at all and I wasn’t thinking about it I only remembered it when trying to figure out what’s causing my feeling

Ya it’s the worst😭 like most people get mentally anxious-> physiologically anxious. But for me I randomly get an anxiety attack out of no where and mentally I’m so confused bc I’m NOT anxious and my brain is like huh? While I’m struggling to breathe and sweating and my heart is racing

Ya like all my friends with anxiety are super type a or worried about a lot of stuff but I’m the most type b person ever and my heads overly optimistic bc I think whatever happens it will work out in the end
