What Is It

Man, I haven’t had any attacks lately but I have these “episodes” where I’ll be normal and then all of a sudden it’s like adrenaline waves I guess? Like they’ll last for maybe 10-20 minutes and I just feel nervous and freaking terrified like something bad will happen and everything kind’ve looks funny. Has anybody experienced this? It stresses me out.

Hi anon, what this is called is "free floating anxiety". In the extremely anxious

person, our adrenaline never fully leaves us. There's always a little left, like a pilot

lite glowing all the time. In the midst of relaxing, a word, a thought, a sound activates

that pilot lite and adrenaline comes on in waves. The best thing to turn off this feeling

is deep breathing. If done properly and with practice, you will no longer get those

unexpected bouts of adrenaline waves. :) xx

For sure.. I’ve been practicing deep breathing periodically throughout the days. It really helps. Each day i feel another break free from my anxiety.

You are doing good anon...You've come a long way. Practice makes perfect.

In doing this, one day soon, you won't even have to think twice, your body will

automatically go into relief mode without ever having to experience fear.

Doesn't that sound great?? It's true my friend. Never give up :) xx
