Scared of nothing......

[mommy.n]

Does anyone feel scared & anxious over nothing? I mean like really nothing......

Like I'm not sure what the scared feeling is from exactly...

Yes,I feel like that. Like edgy,something bad is going to happen any second even though you have no reason to think it? That's anxiety.

I can feel this looking at a coffee cup or my cat - everything is like a sharp stick a tousand times a day

Yes - constantly. When I stop and analyse why I'm anxious there is nothing there but most of the time I give in to the anxiety and try to avoid my thoughts, which makes it worse.....

I'm being told that it's years of worrying and my mind trying to find something to worry about.

I'm learning & practicing mindfulness (and breathing meditation) to 'rewire' this. It's not easy but I have many years of anxiety to undo. I acknowledge that I feel anxious, I dispute any silly thoughts that are there and I just accept that that how I feel and I try to get on with something constructive. The thinking & analyzing is not helpful.. (so why did I just register for this site..?)
