Just happens: no explanation.

Hi guys. I'm really frustrated today. I was really good in the last days. I'm on medicine and sleeping well and having a quite normal life. I have a basal anxiety and some events trigger an anxiety/panic episodes (like when the train stops inside a tunel). But, a part from that, I'm OK.

This morning I woke up really well. I got up early and was watching TV while I was getting ready for work. And then: a panic episode. From nothing. My heart went really fast , hands and feet sweating, a constant lump in the throat feeling (really strong). My day was a hell.

These symptoms were with me throughout the day. I'm in bed now really anxious.

I just feel frustrated. And quite sad.

I'm eating healthier, sleeping well, I don't drink or smoke, I do running sometimes...

I follow my treatment.

I just want peace.

Hi, I have been through this. Just an advise, if you feel like this again, don't go to bed. Go out! Go and walk or something. Make yourself busy. I know it's easier said and done, but you have to distract yourself. Does anyone in your family know you have anxiety? It would be much better if you have a friend to talk to. Hang in there. You'll get through this. Just remember, your brain is tricking you that something is wrong, but not at all. Stay positive and fight the negative emotions you feel. If you can't resolve this on your own, you should probably talk to your doctor about this. God bless.

I've been just the same.

Feeling fine and then bang it hits you out of nowhere.

Normally if I think back there was some silly thing in the last few days which vaguely bothered me at the time but was forgotten, but the good old brain stores it up and then lets you have it when your guard is down.
