Overwhelming sense of fear
Posted , 10 users are following.
I've been struggling with anxiety for the last 6 weeks of so, I've always been a general worrier but it's just spiralled out of control recently, and I don't even know what's caused it. My question is though why is it that as soon as I feel ok for a few hours I randomly get this horrible feeling that comes over me from nowhere that something really bad is going to happen? I can be happy and laughing then all of a sudden this sense of fear comes along, and I don't even know what I'm scared of. I feel like anxiety is bullying me at the moment and as though something isn't allowing me to try and get better, so had enough of this now :-( how can I learn to ignore this feeling...?

It's difficult- I can be sat at work completely fine then all of a sudden like you irrational thoughts start. I get heart palpitations which are unpleasant to say the least. I try mindfulness classes and meditation it just is an hour a week where I don't worry about anything at all! Also exercise- I find dancing and running a relief. Ok it doesn't stop the anxiety coming but it does help give moments of calm.

I get the same way. I think it's due to the fact that I can be happy or laughing and having a good time and subconsciously I think "wow I'm having fun it would be awful if something would come and ruin it" then I panic. I wish I could stop because it's taking the fun out of everything. I have hope that in time this will go away.
Good luck I hope you start feeling better.

It takes time to fully forget about some things, eventually it should go, I get bad anxiety and I'm fine sometimes and then suddenly things just pop into my head and I'm bad again. It gets better just remember that.

I had tje same experience just yesterday, I suffer with anxiety and was on 50mg Setraline. I was all happy and joking with colleagues, when all of a sudden out of no where a sense of dread came over me, and I jabe had this only once before so I knew I was expecting something unpleasant. Half after walking home from work mt started to race and I started hyperventilating, it only lasted a few seconds, then everything calmed down. But the agter affects like unsetteled heart rate 70bpm/90bpm generally take longer to settle then you become tired. Also not to be sounding crude, when this is about to happen or after an episode, I pass wind like nobody's business. Afyer a little digging the digestive system is key player with Anxiety, hope this jelps 🖒
