How do you just develop anxiety?

July 30th, 2010

Red Central asked:


How do you just develop anxiety? My whole life I’ve never had any issues whatsoever with anxiety, up until 4 years ago or so. It’s extremely sporadic so it doesn’t affect my every day life but when it does hit, it’s nuts. Heavy breathing, heavy chest, hot face, tingles and whooshs like you wanna pass out. I try to breathe deep and think about something else but that’s nearly impossible.

Of course, if I look back, I can pick apart stressful events that may have triggered this or continue to. My questions are:
-How can you just develop it when you never had it before? I am a very outgoing-people person and this doesn’t fit my personality whatsoever.
-Does it ever really go away once you have it? I mean, can you “cure” it? It seems like once you have it everyone learns to control it – it never really goes away.
-I’ve been on medication and it supposed to help although it’s not primarily for anxiety. I don’t want, nor feel I need to be on anything daily. It’s like twice a year maybe it happens and can go from a day to multiple days depending on the situation.

It’s very frustrating to just “develop” something you never had and does not fit your normal personality. Not to mention it can somewhat affect maybe not your daily life in whole, but your situation on that daily basis.
