I myself, suffer Generalised Anxiety Disorder and depression and living with both can be very hard sometimes. I have a fantastic business and I am self employed and a fantastic loving business partner and great caring friends. I have no reason to feel anxious, but I do, and it is destroying me. I push my friends away as i think the worst and that they willhurt me, which deep down I know is not true. GAD is a horrible mental illness to have, as I think the worst and worry for no reason, but in doing so, I am pushing my friends away who love me dearly and it is not good. I am scared my GAD will take a strong hold of me and I will lose my Business and friends, but I have taken the first step in my life admitting I need help and that is why I have come onto 7 cups of Tea, to try and beat this voice in my head, and to continue with my business and to stop pushing my friends away, before I DO lose everything

This condition can be as a result of the previous stressful period in the life. This stress goes in our subconscious mind, and after reflects on our feelings

Nervousness for no reason can be caused my anxiety. Chemical inbalances in the brain can causes unusual feelings at unusual times. To combat this, whenever you feel nervous just close your eyes and focus on slowing your breathing as much as possible. I have suffered from anxiety attacks and the best thing to do is to sit or lie down and just breathe real slow

Because your body isn't used to not being nervous, so it makes itself nervous about not being nervous.

You're nervous because you are little under prepared for the task or you're scared because someone who did the same task couldn't complete it.

I think people are judging me and see my flaws. I stop with what I am doing. Take a big deep breath. And say, "It's okay" or make up a mantra for that moment....

It sounds like you've been having anxiety. There may not be any reason that makes rational sense, but it can still feel overwhelming. Definitely check out the anxiety forum in 7cups' resources page, it has ways to help regulate this.

Many of us feel nervous in certain situations without completely understand why we feel that way. It is okay, and it is good simply to notice your feeling and take a deep breath.

That's just a human psychology you need no to worry about it a lot !! just listen to your heart ... in case when u think you are nervous you must try to divert your mind... imean induldge yourself in things that u like the most ... or u can even go out for a brisk walk.... or u can talk about this with your friends and family...

You're never really nervous without a reason. Something makes you nervous. But it's not a must to go looking for the reason! You have certain feelings, and the best thing you can do is accept the feelings you have. Acceptance is important. Your feelings are a part of who you are. When you start feeling nervous for what seems like no reason, try finding a way to relax without wondering why you are nervous. Read a book, talk with friends - soon you'll relax and forget you were even nervous in the first place!

A lot of times when we are nervous there is a reason; we may not realize it. One thing you can do is try to think about if anything recently happened or is going to happen. Also, are you currently under a lot of stress? Finally, have you been sleeping ok? If you recently had a fight with someone, have a test coming up, have a lot happening in your life (good or bad) or aren't getting enough sleep you can become nervous. The thing is, when this happens, we sometimes don't make connections between our nervousness and the things I listed above. I suggest that the next time you get nervous, you ask yourself the above questions. Hopefully you'll be able to make some sort of connection and, if you know what's causing it, you might be able to deal with the root of the problem. Even if you can't, sometimes knowing why just makes a huge difference.

For me I think we all hold at least a nudge of nervousness in reserve to help cope with garden variety stressors or as a baseline from which to work when negative situations are more acute.

When we feel nervous or anxious, it is a signal from our brains or bodies that something is happening, like many feelings. Even good things or neutral things can cause anxiety. Likely there is a reason, it's just possible you aren't aware of that reason yet. Perhaps a better way to phrase this concern would be, "I am so nervous, but I don't know why yet." You're not alone in this mystery, many people from many different backgrounds experience anxiety on a regular basis without yet realizing what the reason for it is. Sometimes this unknown can cause circular thinking, as we get increasingly anxious about not knowing what the reason for our anxiety is. Regardless of what the reason is, the impact of this general nervousness is real and seems to causes you concern, which is totally okay. We might think: if we knew the reason, then we could treat the reason and stop being nervous. However, if we do not continue to look for ways to cope with that nervousness, it's likely that we will still struggle with nervousness even when there is an obvious reason for it. Sharing our experiences with others, as you are doing, can help everyone understand their individual anxiety a little better and understand how they can cope with it a little better too. I encourage you to keep sharing your experiences! Good luck!

It could be that you are in a vulnerable state at the moment or that you are just in your emotions right now.
