Anxiety tends to come from a build up of many things going on in your life. Most of the time, my panic attacks happen in the middle of the night, not after a specific incident or encounter that would normally trigger my anxiety. It can be very hard to identify what sets off your anxiety when it seems to happen at random times, but it's important to track when you have panic attacks to try to recognize patterns so that in the future, you will know what to avoid or what makes anxiety worse.

This is how anxiety works. When you get anxious, I suggest clearing your mind. Listen to music, draw, meditate. Do anything to get your mind off of the anxiety.

Anxiety is mostly likely caused by some sort of trigger event that you may not even realize you are experiencing. Try to figure out what happens or what you are thinking prior to the anxiety in order to more accurately determine what that trigger may be.

You can have anxiety at random times because there may be certain triggers that set the anxiety off. For example, if someone is afraid of birds and that person sees an eagle, they will have a strong, anxious reaction. Some triggers are unrecognizable or very very subtle, though. It may be hard to pinpoint which triggers predict a strong anxious reaction.

Anxiety that occurs at random times often points to an anxiety disorder. However you should never self diagnose and therefore if you experience anxiety often for no reason you should first go to a professional instead of jumping to conclusions too quickly. That way you can be sure and get the help you need on how to deal with it.

In my case, i think is because i want to have everything under control, or at least, be able to do something about it. I don't mind having problems, but i want to fix them if so. And those times that you can't do anything, you are totally useless to fix something, that is what make me feel anxiety.

Sometimes when we think too much about the possibilities of a decision we can experience anxiety when we are unsure of the outcome. We must breathe and remember that it is just a possible for a good outcome to come out of a decision than a negative one. If something negative happens, it is just a lesson and we take what we can learn from it with grace and move on. Holding on to pain from the past can increase anxiety and cause depression symptoms from access worry. It is important to remember to breathe, find your center, and ask a friend to help you think more logically and less with emotion.

Hello, I am sorry to hear that.
Anxiety is not necessarily a bad thing. On the contrary, it might help you realize that there is something bothering you that you avoid to solve. And sometimes it might even be beneficial. Actually, anxiety can push you to work through your problems.
Although, sometimes anxiety can be too much to bear or even lead to panic attacks. If I were you I would ask myself what it is really the trigger of that emotion. Then think what you can do to help yourself relax. Develop some relaxing techniques, like breathing exercises that can help your body deal with stress.
Please let me know how helpful I am being for you
Also feel free to keep me updated about how you are doing. Best wishes
