Anxiety is tough. Listen to Davit and others they have lots of wisdom about your question. This anxiety can be cured and you can be free of this. I know that for sure as I have gone through this program over the last 8 months.
I am noticing my sensitivity to caffeine and alcohol. Because they both play with brain chemistry I am not surprised they affect my anxiety levels. I do drink coffee and beer etc.. but I am mindful that they can trigger anxiety. Lack of sleep, too much stress and too many social events where I cannot express myself honestly also can bring on anxiety. You could journal about what you experienced the day or 2 before this feeling came on to investigate what might be adding to your free floating anxiety. Just an idea.
Since I get this too and since it is pretty annoying I do thought exposure. I replay what is annoying me with an add on. I look at it and accept that this is part of my normal life now. I tell myself it is okay to have this thought and feeling and that tomorrow will be okay because it always is. I don't think others have all perfect days either but they probably say "glad that is over" and forget it where we focus on it.
Hi Davit: Maybe you can look around and see all the nice things you have accomplished and be happy that you did them, knowing even if you might need a rest every now and then, everything you have accomplished is still there and remains for your enjoyment.
I get anxious when I'm tired from a really good day. It just sneaks in. It is a core belief that it is only going to get worse so why bother even though I'm tired from doing what I like to do.
I know it is just a core and has no basis, but some of mine are pretty strong. Before the arthritis this did not happen, I would work till I dropped and then sleep like a baby. Not any more.
Sometimes anxiety creeps on for me when I am feeling off. Like somedays I stop and think about what a different or strange type of day its been and then I start to get anxiety about this. I'm guessing it has to do with control and routine that I love to have so when it feels like something is out of the norm then I get anxious. Anybody else ever feel this way?
