Can Anxiety come out of nowhere? Can it make you question everything in your life?

Question

Ive never really had a problem with depression or anxiety, but only about a week ago maybe a little more I woke up feeling worried and anxious and totally terrified and I don't have a appetite. I couldn't stop the racing thoughts going through my head every minute, its really starting to affect my relationship and I believe its starting to make me physically sick and just crazy as all h**l. .

Answer 1

I felt the same way. Please take this into consideration. It worked for me, although I am not you.

I had overwhelming anxiety. It turned out to be my use of Splenda. Yup Splenda. How could something that taste so good, be so bad?



I like to say sucralose, not Splenda, because that is what Splenda is. And it is in a lot of stuff. The package doesn't have to say Splenda to have sucralose in it. You have to read labels. So, you might still be using it and don't even know it!



Sucralose is poison. It ruined five years of my life. I had a laundry list of medical problems while taking it, including overwhelming anxiety, depression, mood swings, insomnia and more.

Go ahead, google: anxiety splenda or anxiety sucralose or insomnia splenda or insomnia sucralose



The slogan, "Made from sugar..." is very misleading. Splenda might be made from sugar, but it is far from sugar. The resulting chemical is an organochloride (chlorocarbon). Organochlorides are typically poisons.



carbon monoxide - made from oxygen so its like a breath of fresh air

My source is me. I have personally experienced the effects of sucralose and can report first hand of its dangers.

Answer 2

You bet your blue suede boots it can!

If you can try to retrace your steps to the first attack and find the trigger, you may be able to avert them. However I have found that even though I hate drugs I sometimes have to take one when an attack sideswiipes me.

I prefer to use herbal supplements but have not found the perfect one for my condition and am working on that now.

You could try evenign primrose capsules from the HFS making sure that they are cold pressed and of high quality. Serotin or melatonin will help with the sleep mechanism.

OR

Talk to your Dr about giving you something to help you slow down the thoughts.. I used seroquel at night time but it made me wake up sluggish, poor trade off.

Mine is part and parcel of my Lymes Disease and just one of the tricks I balance on an ongoing basis.

Answer 3

YES it can! I suffer from Bi-Polar disorder and just like you I woke up one morning and it was there... haunting me everyday. Every waking moment. It will affect every aspect of your life if you don't get a handle on it! There are MANY factors that can cause "depression/anxiety"... Now I am in no way saying that you are "bi-polar" you could just have severe anxiety, which will lead to depression. It could be that you've lost something significant in your life.... You are going through a bad "season", or it could just be a chemical imbalance that decided to tap you on the shoulder and let you know that it exists!

You should see a Dr. (psychiatrist) and let them know your symptoms. That is what they are there for. They will perscribe you the medication you need... and believe me, it has CHANGED my life! So definately look into that. If you don't have insurance to cover that then look into state/county funded programs that can help you. (I don't know what state you reside in, but MOST states/counties do offer programs and perscriptions to those without insurance.)

GOOD LUCK!!!!
