Same here. The problem is that when I don't know what I'm anxious about, my racing thoughts start and then I'll find some new obsession to be scared of. It's a never-ending cycle.

My anxiety is more of the self-analysis type...like I am always thinking about how I feel, etc. Like when I am walking the halls at work...I am like, "Do I feel attached? Do I feel "here"?", etc. Or when I am talking, I think about how my voice feels. Or if I am watching TV I picture myself in the scene on TV and think "How can those people being doing that? I see everything through my DPed/Depressed viewpoint. It sucks so bad.
I live my life constantly thinking about how I feel. I hate it to the worst degree, yet I don't know how to stop. It's just a vicious circle. And I am getting so fed-up with it!

There is always an onset to anxiety.

Mine for example was smoking weed.

You may have nothing to be anxious about, but your nervous system is still very aggitated creating anxiety symptoms and feeling as though you are anxious.

That's what an anxiety disorder is....

I also don't have any fears of anything. I mean I know alot of people have agoraphobia, etc. Or Social Anxiety, etc. I don't have any of that. But for some reason I am also thinking about things. Like my money situation, my life in the future, getting things done correctly at work, thinking about the past, thinking if I feel connected, thinking about how my voice feels/sounds, putting myself in other's shoes, how I am feeling, what is coming up this week, etc...etc...etc. AND I DON'T KNOW HOW TO STOP IT! Reeeeeepeat....I DON'T KNOW HOW TO STOP IT! I am so fed up with it and don't even wanna go on living if this is how I am gonna feel. It just seems straight up POINTLESS!

anxiety produces anxiety, the sensations of being anxious. Being anxioius makes you anxious. Once the loop is set up, nothing more is needed to keep it going.
Some of us, for some reason, become stuck in the loop. As Kari says - that's why it's called a disorder.

my anxiety is caused by only one reason....I FEEL UNREAL

its this sensation of feeling unreal that keeps me anxious,and the anxiety then causes my emotional state to change to one of fear

this is why im battling with the effects of agrophobia because the further i venture away from home the more unreal i feel

Definately.. my favorite is when I get anxious about feeling anxious for no reason. "Oh my god, why am I feeling worried about NOTHING? Im going CRAZY... "

Have you ever been tested for GAD (Generalized Anxiety Disorder)? Its criteria are chronic worry which is uncontrollable (a layperson's definition, but that's my understanding.)

Yea...I've had that mentioned to me that I may have that. Just never found the right treatment for it.

What was "wrong" with the treatments you've tried so far? (That is, do you have a sense of what you're looking for? I know there are various centers for Anxiety Disorders around the country, although not in Ohio that I know of, maybe you could try the Anxiety Disorders Association of America (http://www.adaa.org/) for more resources or a referral?)
