Is this normal..?

Why do I feel so happy sometimes then suddenly if I'm at home.. doing nothing.. my anxiety comes again and strikes me..
Idk why but I feel desperate when I have anxiety
I always feel hopeless.. feel like ... just feeling sad and u know..uncomfortable
Is that because of anxiety or just because I'm not normal?
Coz i've never been a person who sobs all day and just thinking negatively..
Ah and I forgot to mention that everytime my anxiety / that ''worry'' feeling strikes me, I always worry and think negatively.
This is normal or not?
I know it's just my brain saying things to me.. But since I have anxiety I don't think it's because of anxiety.. Ah it's hard to explain >_<

so are u still depressed right now?
Oh no i don't think I have depression because I never had this before.. like never!
ANd yeah u're absolutely right.. I spent 50% thinking wht's gonna happen to me in the future.. What's life after death (stuff like dying and death)...religious stuff (i'm christian so I believe in heaven and Jesus).. I fear of dying yet I have that ''I want to die'' feeling..

It sounds like depression to me.  I suffer from anxiety and depression.  Many times it goes hand and hand and your symptoms are similar to mine.  There is no reason why you feel this way, you just do, am I right?  I would suggest getting to a therapist to talk things out.  I did find that there were a lot of worries deep in me that I didn't even know that I had.  I also realized that I "awfulized" alot.  That is always thinking the worst and actually living like the horrible tragedy that my mind would think up actually happened....so I do work on trying to keep those thoughts at bay.  Also, I found that I spent about 50% of my time regreting mistakes of the past, 40% of my time worrying about the future and only 10% being in the here and now....I was told to try to change those numbers and make the "here and now" the priority.  When you focus on the "here and now" and not worry about yesterday or tomorrow, you will find that a lot of those anxious feelings subside.  These are some strategies that I use (as well as meds) to help myself.  I hope my response helps you.
