Im getting this really uncomfortable feeling right now and I cant really explain it. Its like...I feel like I need to be worrying about something but theres nothing on my mind that I should be worrying about. Im afraid.

I suffer bouts of Generalized Anxiety. I'm anxious, but there's nothing specific that I'm anxious about, so there's nothing I can try to come to grips with, it's like punching mist.

I overheard a girl saying something to someone else that summed up this feeling for me many years ago.
She said; "I am worried about the fact that I have nothing worry about".

Incidentlly she was a pretty, popular and successful girl. I learnt that day (I was still quite young) that even though someone may appear to "have it all" behind the scenes it can be a totally different story.

though this post is 6 years old, I'll respond anyways.

Tired as ****, I really need to take my contacts out.

But I did see some winter lights at a garden park in Wheaton . It was really pretty but now I'm so tired (and hungry but too tired to get off my butt to make someting)

I think my anxiety is getting worse I can't seem to get an emotion about anything unless its a happy emotion otherwise my heart starts racing and I just feel awful, and now I'm pretty much scared of everything especially about having an anxiety attack and I just can't seem to shut my mind off most of the time. Does anybody else feel this way? Especially the having an anxiety attack at the thought of having an anxiety attack?
 
I feel like everything I say is so completely insignificant and stupid. A nuisance.

I think these thoughts are all part and parcel of SA.::(:
The hard part is figuring out a way to replace these negative beliefs with some positive ones huh? :s
Try and not allow these negative feelings to get you down so much ShyKiwi. ((Hugs))

Yes, that is quite true. I recently learned of someone who seemed to be living well suffering constant panic attacks and is seeing a therapist. Never would've picked it.

The masks we wear can hide a lot of our true self.

I can't say I've ever had been anxious of an anxiety attack, but then I've only ever had one in my life which wasn't so bad, so unfortunately I am not much help here.

Sorry to hear your anxiety is getting worse, though. Keep doing things you enjoy, whatever they are, and that way your mind can focus on pleasant activities.

Constant anxiety is not very healthy. All I can suggest is to relax and do pleasant things like reading or going for a light walk.

Eh, sorry I'm not really helpful.

Ditto. It's not true, your words are not an insignificant and stupid nuisance, I can tell you that. Hope you can fight those feelings.

She looks like the real thing
She tastes like the real thing
My fake plastic love
But I can't help the feeling
I could blow through the ceiling
If I just turn and run

It wears me out, it wears me out
It wears me out, it wears me out

If I could be who you wanted
If I could be who you wanted all the time

All the time...
All the time...
