Basically anxiety is caused by stress. Stress is adrenaline surging though the body and if prolonged over a long time and you don't rest inbetween, it'll build up to its peak and can result in a panic attack or anxiety. When this happens it can be frightening and you then fear this. You become anxious about having anxiety. Anxiety comes with side effects too - strange thoughts, depression, nausea, shaking, aches / pains, insomnia, headaches, feeling of depersonalisation ..... and many more. The sufferer begins to get anxious about these side effects which just adds more anxiety into the pot ...... making the anxiety greater. The very thing you fear. You start to constantly search for an answer, you question why, what if and don't understand what is happening to you. Your body doesn't rest and you become despondent, confused and tired ...... yet you continue to fear anxiety. The answer lies is understanding this ........ stop trying to over analyse each symptom. All the symptoms are due to anxiety, and once the anxiety eases so too will these symptoms. Learn to let the feelings be there, relax towards them but whilst still carrying on with your day. Relaxing and not tensioning / fighting is the way forward, as fighting causes stress and more anxiety. Work with the feelings there and your body starts to relearn not to react to anxiety with more anxiety and slowly starts to recover. here to edit.
