Does anyone ever just get anxiety over absolutely nothing? *raises hand* I do I do I do!

 

I had a good day, with no worries. In fact some pretty awesome things happened during the day... met and made friends with a girl who is perhaps the most incredible person I've met in real life since... well since.

 

Point is: I don't have anything to worry about... and regardless of that, I am presently sitting up at midnight - even though I'm completely exhausted -because I couldn't sleep. Why couldn't I sleep? No effing reason at all, except I just feel anxious over nothing. I can't even put a finger on what my hypothetical worries even are. It's nonsense, but hey, that's me.

 

So, aside from asking for some advice on how I could perhaps beat that BS,  I will also ask: Does this happen to anyone else?

All worrying is pointless. If you can't change something there's no sense in worrying about it. If you can then the time spent worrying would be better spent doing it.

yes

plenty

 

plus i was sad from like 11somethingam to 4somethingpm for like no reason at all today

sinking feelings suck

Actually, I spent a lot of last school year anxious over everything. Really, the best thing to do is to not let it get the best of you. If it's something you can fix, then fix it. If not, then just forget it. Life finds its way eventually to calm things down.

I do the same thing, it sucks man.

CONSTANTLY...

Do you want me to play a happy tune on the flute?

It happens all the time. I really haven't found a way to fix it. Usually I find that it stems from boredom. If you can find something better to do with your time then your mind will be more focused and will have less of a chance of wandering.

Maybe this could be what's keeping you so anxious?

I've had that feeling an awful lot of times. I've even felt fear and what I can describe only as a feeling completely unbearable (it gave me an unbearable "urge" for what seemed like nothing, and it was making me twitch, itch, and feel mild pain. I didn't know how to stop it and I couldn't sleep that day).

That's exactly the feeling I'm talking about... for me, it's like I'm about to be sick, like it's the same feeling as "I'm about to throw up." but you don't... it's horrible. And it's made worse because you know it's all in your head, and then you get pissed at yourself for not even being in control of your own goddamn thoughts...

I'd try and help you, but yeah, I couldn't help myself. I literally felt pain and started to get really hot, luckily I had several fans nearby. But still, I couldn't deal with that (no pun intended). I did not sleep, and it ended up subsiding when it got to around 6:30 AM for me...that was just a few days ago.

That happens to me sometimes, yeah. I don't know what it is that worries me, but I'm feeling really anxious. For me it helps if I just write down everything that bothers me, even if it's just a little. I don't know, maybe it's just easier to me to stop worrying if I know what it is that worries me. And then I might see that "oh, yeah, it's this thing. but actually it's not that serious and I can deal with it."

Do you think you might have an anxiety disorder? Has this always been a problem for you?

 

I've experienced similar to what's been described in this thread and to be honest, I haven't found a permanent solution for it. My therapist suggested exercise, more exposure to things I enjoy in order to negate the negativity feelings or find some other kind of outlet that lets me burn off steam. I guess you should do the same?

Used to happen to me when I was younger but I kinda out-grown it and fades away overtime. It still happens to me but very rarely now. It just happen to be part of our personality and nothing to be ashamed about.

I get axiety over people over-dramatizing-everything pretty dang easily.

 

But, of course, I can't help but worry a bit about that person's health, getting so worked up and negative over every little detail....o-o; *Dawnie is an Empath.. ^_^;;*

all the time

i go to sleep for about 2 hours to 1 hour every night except for an occasional alnighter. I have bags under my eyes, darker than L's.
