I can tell you from experience that nothing specific has to be bothering you to sometimes feel anxiety out of the blue. I have had years and years of intense counseling, worked real hard on my stuff and still have problems with anxiety! My body is very sensitive to fatigue, what I eat, too much movement etc.. I have a definite physical problem. Facing that has helped me get past looking for the hidden issue that does not exist. It may not be the case for all people, but it definately is for me. It could be your case too. Studchick
Hi, I have 2 older sisters. One takes a small dose of xanax at night to sleep the other is the type that nothing bothers her. I take .5 mg of xanax twice daily a low dosage. If you search your soul you will find out what it is that is bothering you. Its usually the one of the little secrets we all have and dont tell anyone about. The answer is something you know about , find a trusted friend and confess. Its good for the soul, and may set you free.
I can relate to both of your posts above.
Anxiety disorder doesn't need a reason to set it off. This has been my experience anyway.
Frequently something does happen that we blame for starting it, but for me it's a physical, nervous system defect. My nervous system becomes inflamed and thus many other systems in my body suffer accordingly. When your stomach becomes inflamed, you get a stomach ache, nausea, vomiting, etc... These symptoms are 'reported' to you by your nervous system, so imagine what happens when your nervous system is inflamed and in physical disorder. Countless number of symptoms can and do occur.
When one is ill, no matter what the cause, our 'thoughts' can go downhill. We get depressed.
it's a natural progression.
No rational being 'thinks' themselves into the symptoms and hell that anxiety brings.
But anxiety can sure bring one into disorderly thinking and worry that can make those symptoms worse.

Hi, I have exactly the same thing. 5 years ago I had anxiety for good reason, the death of a close relative, a divorce, and a crappy job. The doctor put me on zoloft and klonopin and started feeling great after about 6 weeks. As time went by 5 years, he took me off the zoloft. I had been happy and worry free for about 4 months and then wham it hit me. Tried to figure out why. I didn't have a problem in the world. Also had a panic attack in the middle of the night with burning feelings in my body and head which sent me straight to the ER. Physically nothing was wrong. They said anxiety. So called my therapist who said sometimes anxiety just creeps up on you from the sub-conscious mind. Put me back on klonopin and zoloft. This time it has helped me feel better but its not working 100%. It's been about 6 weeks. He said I'm too apprehensive about my anxiety because I wake up in the morning thinking if I'm going to have it and yep sure enough the nerves start rattling and then I start shaking. But why? I've have never been happier.
Yet this anxiety (which really *****) is back. And yes thinking about it makes it worse. I'm not really scared about it but I hate the feeling. Are you on any meds? How long have you been feeling this. Maybe we can figure this out together. Lizzy
