Why do I get anxious, when I’m not even worried or scared?

Lately I have been feeling really happy, and all of a sudden I go into a panic mode and my heart starts to pound and I get sweaty... I have. I clue why my anxiety turns on.... I do have anxiety, but I don’t know why I’m affect when I’m not anxious?

Theres some kind of threat system in our brain thats always turned on in people with anxiety,the system will find anything to be anxious about especially when youre feeling good because it never believes youre safe, probably explained it pretty bad but it’s something like that

Thank you, I never really understood why it was always a loop.. once I get anxious it takes a lot of time and effort to feel like me again, it takes time for me to realize nothing is wrong.. a few days ago I had a really bad anxiety attack, and yesterday I had my boyfriend there to take my mind of things and come down... then when I woke up he was mad at me for sum things and I got anxious because I felt like I was a problem, not o my that but I took melatonin the night before and when I woke up I was dizzy because of it... it’s the little things that put me on edge too, especially when it all builds up...

The original reason for your anxiety may have gone but your nervous system is still over sensitised. You can't switch it on and off like a light switch.

If your mind is no longer pumping out fear hormones then in time your nerves will return to their normal state: but this will take time.
