Why am I anxious for no reason?

Why do I get scared and anxious for no reason?

  • Sometimes, like tonight, I'll be perfectly fine. And then all of a sudden for no reason I'll feel terrified, and anxious, and like something bad is going to happen. And I shake. It's such a bad feeling. I hate it. How can I stop feeling so scared when this happens? I try smoking to calm my nerves, but it doesn't help.

  • Answer:

    You could be suffering from Panic Disorder (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Panic_disorder). This is something that a psychotherapist or psychiatrist can help treat. The feeling that these attacks occur at random and without cause is common and not something to be ashamed of. There are definitely effective treatments available from appropriate professionals.

don't smoke, thats bad for you. when you feel the "feeling" coming on, just try taking a few big breaths and tell yourself that everything is okay. if you're in a social situation or at a party or something, excuse yourself from the room and just collect yourself and try to calm down for a few minutes
