More prone to SA on particular days

Hi, just wondering if anyone else feels like ther're more prone to anxiety symptoms on some days, and you can just never tell when that will be.

For example, i woke up yesterday and straight away i felt very anxious for no reason at all. I came to uni and just had general high anxiety levels and could tell that it wouldn't take much to tip me off that day. As things went it didn't take much to tip me off and several encounters ended with me sweating profusely and probably blushing a fair bit too.

Other days such as today have been better. General anxiety levels have been ok (yet i still had one 'episode'). But i can't at all put my finger on why this is. Nothing bad happened yesterday morning to make my anxiety high and nothing good happened this morning to make my anxiety less. Wish my moods would just get some consistency to them. I know what will happen again now, because i've had a low SA day today i'll start to get confidence up again that i may be getting better or be able to beat this, then tomorrow i'll wake up and its a different day and i'll suddenly have high anxiety, have some 'episodes' (ie sweating and blushing is the worst for me), feel like i'm nothing and be back to square one again.

i get days like this too- the day before yesterday i felt confident and not at all self conscious, i was socialising and laughing along with coworkers which is not like me at all. The next day i turned out completely different- withdrawn, sensitive and quietly spoken. I would really like to know how to hold onto those positive feelings.

I am more anxious/irritable on my "ugly days". Those are the days when I just feel fat and ugly and feel like anything I do will be wrong. Other days I feel more or less attractive and positive and have an easier time dealing with others. But it just takes one little thing to ruin my whole day then - misplacing the car keys, burning the toast, whatever.

Some days i get periods where i am actually quite extroverted and always joking at work, and then my mood can change, but it also depends on the person i am with.

I don't know if i'm the only one, but i actualy feel guilty when i am in a good mood.

Naw, youre not the only one :(. Me being in a brighter cheerful mood makes me look out of character and therefore the people will judge me for acting strangely.

Yes, it's the same for me too. In my case, I have definitely learnt to feel like this from my upbringing.
