Over analyzing

[Heatherj89]

Ok guys. I have been thinking about some stuff lately. So I know there are the people who think anxiety is a chemical imbalance and there are the ones who believe it is a behavioral issue that leads to sensitization. I understand the arguements on both sides. Where I start my getting really analytical is when I start to pull apart each theory and confuse myself. So, I have really bad anxiety and it's there at least somewhat almost every day. I don't really feel like I'm doing it to myself..... but again I understand the whole sensitization thing. When I think about how complex the brain is and how we know so little about it, it's sometimes hard for me to believe that I can control this.... or that there isn't something just "off" chemically in my brain creating this crap. Like schizophrenia for example... people who have that aren't doing that to themselves. Scientists don't actually know what's going on to cause it or why certain people get it..... it's all theories. Does it just seem like it HAS to be something wrong in our brains making us anxious to anyone else? I just feel like my brain is wired to have involuntary anxiety. I'm not crazy and paranoid and always freaking out over things.... it's just an anxiety state that comes for no reason.... it's not like I'm afraid of anything in particular. It just feels so separate from what I'm actually thinking about when it happens.
