Feeling Anxious For No Reason??...
12 Answers
I have never had this before and some days I can't shake the feeling. It is horrible . I have this feeling of dread like when you know something awful is on the horizon even though there isn't.
Is this a mild form of depression?... I seem to just wake up feeling like it some days and it stays with me for hours.
I had an unhappy time last year which I think I am coming to terms with now but I don't know if it's related.

For more on marking an answer as the "Best Answer", please visit our FAQ.Jenarry.....when I felt exactly the same it was diagnosed as depression/anxiety......and for no obvious reason. All the bad things were over.....I wasn't having to deal with them...and I crashed.
I hated waking up in the morning and spent all day just wishing to get back into bed and away from everything.....I didn't want to answer the door or the phone....I refused to go out with friends....til one took me to my GP who was fantastic.
I did try counselling but for me it did nothing....though for some it works well.
I tried Citalopram and it worked a treat. I don't hold with this working through it by yourself....if it could be fixed with pills that was great. I was able to get on top of the awful feelings of doom and dread....and get my life back....
See your doctor and get it sorted.....life's too short to be faffing and waiting to get better...it's an illness and it's fixable....Gx

Thankyou everyone. I can't tell you how reassuring it is that others have been through this too.
The feeling is so overwhelming some days and I'm not enjoying being one small push away from a worried/upset/down mood.
I'm not keen to go onto citalopram or something similar Gness but I will have to consider it I think. I can't live with this feeling long term.

Jenarry......Citalopram did nothing to me other than get me through a really bad time....I can't tell you how wonderful it was to come out of the despair and be able to deal with things rationally....it was fantastic....and helped me get to the happy and contented state I wallow in now....☺
MrG had terrible illnesses.....he took pills....dozens daily....to get him through....
I see this as being no different.....
Why do we think pills are a no-no or cop out for this illness?
If Citalopram or similar helps, Jenarry.....what's wrong with that?...
Jenarry....I can look back to the days..weeks and months when I refused pills.....when I just retreated under the duvet....when a simple decision brought me to tears.....
Thank god for a wonderful doctor who explained how the pills would help....and they did......x

ah thankyou everyone. your words are a huge comfort to me. My frame of mind has been so bad lately ...since early January :( It's reassuring to know that other people know and understand how I am feeling. I haven't wanted to talk to my nearest and dearest about how I have been feeling as I didn't want to worry them .
