What triggers your anxiety the most?
-
my axniety gets triggered when im faced with situation where teh focus is on me, such as meetings and gathering and people start to focus on you and your life, i panic easily when that happens.
-
I get most anxious whenever I have to speak in front of a crowd. I'm okay with a small group but feel intense fear in front of a crowd. I am always amazed by performers who thrive on that type of attention when I dislike it so much.
-
My anxiety is triggered when the focus is on me, I found my wedding day so difficult but my friends and family were so great and understood. It also gets triggered when I'm going to be in a large number of people like in a pub or club or even when shopping, this isn't as bad as it used to be - the pub still gets me though. My singing lessons are helping me no end, putting me in situations I would normally run away from.
-
My anxiety is mainly over the thought of dying, and the fear of the world ending. I have regular panics over this, and its slowly becoming worse, and I don't know how to control it or stop it
-
Mine Is Triggered By Feelings In My Body. For Example...If I Feel Tired I Start Thinking Something Bad Is Happening To Me Like A Heart Attack Or An Aneurysm.
-
Going into situations Im worried about, as I have agoraphobia, I don't travel far from home so anywhere new on the plan is scary.
-
My anxiety is worse when I have my mind to myself .. IE i turn the tv off .. I constantly need some sound like im usually playing game son the pc .. like ALLLL THE TIME I dont get a great deal of fun from these games like im not addicted but when I stop the anxiety starts.
-
Same as the rest of you, really. When I'm left to my own devices my mind wonders away. I cant stand being in a silent room either. With people, i find it awkward and my myself I feel alone and listen for any noise at all. Usually its only my dogs, but I still panic. I hate being on long trips where I might run out of things to do that will distract me
-
when people talk about mental illness, or i focus on the fact that i have anxiety, like right now my head feels funny. i get it randomly and it worries me because no one else seems to get it like i do and so i fear that i'm going insane.
-

-

You have to feel very relaxed and stop thinking, it`ll be hard at first but you will get use to it. Just keep in mind that your face should be very relaxed so just let it relax all the way and keep it that way, so if you do that you will live in the present. hope that helps. If that does not work , let me know, i have other solutions. Here are some tips: relax your whole face and keep your eyes open like not too much not too little, dont put anything in mind, if you do , just tell yourself not to in your mind, Just think that you have no relation with anyone and be selfish and not care about anything, even if you do just dont think that you are caring about that person, just dont think about it, eat healthy, work out, watch movies, lots of water, fruits, listen to your favorite music. if it doesnt work i got other solutions. let me know. Live your life to the fullest. who knows. Tomorrow may or may not be. Only look at someone’s face when necessary otherwise don’t look at anyone. If you cant look at someone face and have anxiety then practice looking at someone face on the internet or something.

Other people trigger my anxiety the most. I know it's not actually them or their fault. But just being around other people, even one other person, makes me anxious to varying degrees. Especially if I am out of my house. I just feel naked and vulnerable around other people. Always worrying about what they're thinking of me. I always feel like I'm being judged.
-
Being around other people sometimes triggers my anxiety attacks... awkward silence in a "group" setting. Being at work... sometimes I feel like everyone is looking at me or talking about me... and then the paranoia kicks in...it's truely exhausting... At times I feel like I have no control over my thoughts, like I'm going NUTS. And the worst anxiety attacks are the ones that just come with out warning... the over whelming fear... :/
-
Just waking up in the morning... My first thought of the day ahead or life in general... What I need to get accomplished and what I have not accomplished triggers the fear that makes me not want to get out of bed nor can I go back to sleep... Once up and about the fear starts to go away... I have to convince myself that everything is going to be okay... I have control issues too... If I feel out of control of a situation I get very anxious and start to become very negative in my thoughts...
-
Thought of eternal death or eternal sufferings after death. When I am in a social situation and also fear of having some chronic disease some day sort of things which make me extremely anxious.
-
feeling that i might die soon or my loved ones might die soon. feeling as though i have no control over my life makes me feel really anxious.
-
Usually my anxiety is triggered by the thought that i cannot do something and by that failing somebody. The feeling of being a failure drives me crazy and i start reacting accordingly...
-
Mine is usually triggered here lately by someone who has a virus or the flu! It makes me really anxious, that I m ight get it! Crazy, I know!
-
Mine's usually when I have to be somewhere like work or meet someone, when any kind of attention is focused on me, if something doesn't go EXACTLY as planned or how I've played it over 100 times in my head, talking to someone new or someone I am not extremely close with, using the phone, doing something that may result in failure or looking vulnerable to other people, feeling out of control, thoughts of dying or loved ones dying, driving, being in crowded places, etc.
-
Going into public, especially places where there are a lot of people.
-
I'm not sure if I can pinpoint ONE thing. Most often it happens when I have too much time to think. I start worrying about school and my grades or the future and money or the health and well being of my family. Before I know it my heart is racing and I find it hard to catch my breath. It's miserable not to be able to enjoy the serenity of some peace and quiet without having or almost having a panic attack.
-
Mine strangely comes AFTER i put myselfe to pressured situations. Today i felt great, went out to a big city here in Sweden, stressed a bit as usual. And everytime i come home after something like this, my panic attacks comes.
Feel like im getting a heart attack, like im going to die. Cant breathe, heavy lounges, my heart rate rises very fast, i feel weak and i think i focus on my left half of the body because stroke symptoms starts from there.
just got a panic attack and once again survived, so i dont know why i keep thinking im about to die, the unpleasant feelings i get always takes me over sadly :/
-
feelings in my body....heartburn triggers my anxeity..a i have a thought of having heart attack..and i can really feel the symptoms..like chest pain..neck pain..left arms started to hurt...as like im going to die...or fell on the floor
-
Heat is the biggest one for me, I already run hotter than anyone I know so if I'm hot and uncomfortable I tend to flip out almost instantly. And in social situations feeling boxes in or stuck without a quick escape route! Will get me every time!
-
Constantly getting reminders that I'm alive and this is what life is.. Then automatically question myself if this is reality. That just happened
