I have it for the past 7 months. You can read my post about my problem here: http://www.medhelp.org/posts/Anxiety/im-not-sure-what-to-do-anymore/show/1382907?personal_page_id=1859769
In the beginning I had a derealization problem, where everything around me looked as if I was watching a movie, I felt like I wasn't a part of the world, I could touch everything, but it didn't feel normal. It really freaked me out, and made me depressed, I thought I was getting insane, and all those bad thoughts made me think more and more, and it only made the anxiety worse. The best advice I found is just to go on with your life. When it happens, you have to know and tell yourself that it already happened to you, and you are fine. As before, it will be over in a time.

Can anxiety be triggerd by something someone doesnt know and also by a fear opf having the attack again

Callum, great to see you are getting support from alot of people.  YES... anxiety can DEFINITELY be triggered by the fear of having another attack.  That started to happen to me a lot years ago.  If you feed your worries, they do get bigger.  That is why accepting your episodes and not fighting them (as difficult as that is) is so important.  You know that they do pass and that you do survive them.  Somehow learn not to fear them and they may start to happen less frequently.

Hi Wolftak i hope your okay, okay thank you i just have a few doubts that support that it could be something else as well as Anxiety, such as like random and parnoid thoughts, Wierd thoughts about where i am being like a fast ride, and constatally not shanking my attacks, also feeling physically ill

Thanks for your support

You are right that it could be something else.  Everyone keeps telling you that it is anxiety but we are not professionals.  That is why you do need to seek a professional opinion. Do you have an appointment?  We are here to support you and it certainly could be anxiety as well.  I know from my experiences with anxiety I have had times were I was convinced I was going insane or dying.  I remember lying awake at night gripped with fear that it was only a matter of time that I would be locked up in mental hospital.  But as I mentioned before that was over 20 years ago and things slowly improved and now I am very happy.  Anxiety can also cause physical symptoms.  Your symptoms can be explained by anxiety but you are right to question whether it could also be something else.  We understand your concerns even though we can not fully understand what you are experiencing.

Does anyone in your family line have a history of mental illness?
