A few questions about Anxiety

I have posted about my problem on different areas, i have been told by many people its anxiety, And have a few questions?

1: Can Anxiety Be triggerd by something i am not aware of?
2: Can Anxiety be constant alot of the time?
3: Can Anxiety cause you to think about wierd things

Example: I think about the world being like a fast rollercoster and and also random things going fast, i know its not true but it feels it almost.
Also being abit anxious of random songs

I would like to know the answers for these question, thank you

Absolutely you should be referred back to the mh counselors for therapy.

We have periods where we go through transitions in our life.  Age 21 is said to be one of these.  I guess it is more about what it represents to people.  Independence, etc.
A lot of people don't grow out of their anxiety and as it seems to be affecting you so much I think that counseling is entirely appropriate.

You could try posting on the mood disorders expert forum if you have questions you feel a doctor could better answer.

I Went to the doctors a month ago and was told she would refer me back to the mental health counsilers, but wanted to run blood test to mkae sure i was healthy, it went fine and was told to book another appointment, which i did but had to wait about a month, and was told that my doctor had left so i hads a different doctor who was lovely but she refused to Refer me and said it wouldnt help and that i should mature around it by about 21, this really confused me? and now i am quite in the dark

Callum, here is a discussion board with a couple of postings on intrusive thoughts.  I read some of them and they don't exactly match what you describe but perhaps you might want to share your experiences and ask if it sounds like these could be intrusive thoughts to those who have experienced them.  Good luck.

I have had intrusive thoughts only mildly in the past so I may not be the best person to answer your questions.  My intrusive thoughts always came at bedtime and yes they made me feel anxious.  I would not be aware of reality when they were happening but I would snap in and out of it fairly quickly.  They would feel real at the time but as soon as I snapped out of it I would know it wasn't real.  Google intrusive thoughts and obsessive compulsive disorder discussion groups and you may be able to talk one on one with others who regularly have intrusive thoughts.  I hope you are feeling better as of late.  Have you been back to the doctor/counseller?

Yes I think it is.  Did you say a car hit you? Where you on foot, bicycle or in  a car? Were you hit hard and did you hit your head?

I think p0rtzer0 is right.  Perhaps you should be examined by a neurologist, have you looked into this.  Ask your doctor if you can get a referral.  Stay strong Callum, I am sending you my prayers for recovery.

Dear,
There is a slight difference between being in dream state and feeling as if you are about to go insane or crazy..
while feeling as if you are Mentally ill is a classical symptom of Anxiety Disorder but being in dream-like state 24/7 can actually be related to some other neurological syndrome than just Anxiety.. please see a Neurologist to rule out if there is anything else other than anxiety disorder.

that is something we all deal with the dream states (or at least our perception of) and worrying about loosing control is probably true in most of us. Look for books by Ekhart Tolle, very helpful and good luck, never forget you are not alone

1: Can Anxiety Be triggerd by something i am not aware of?

In Anxiety Disorder you are tend to get panic attacks for no apparent reasons.

2: Can Anxiety be constant alot of the time?

If there is an underlying cause that you are not aware of (or is not giving much importance) then yes, that underlying cause can cause anxiety to be constant all the time.

3: Can Anxiety cause you to think about wierd things

Yes, it's part of anxiety attacks.. it sometimes make you feel like as if you are about to go insane or crazy.
