Not sure what keeps triggering this anxiety

I find I've been experiencing bad anxiety like I used too. I didn't have any for around 5 months and now I've been having it every night. I don't understand what it is. My life is going so amazingly right now and I feel scared or worried, is it cause I've never had this happen before? Like I have a healthy relationship with an amazing girl, I've been growing more independence, I've been taking my medication the way I'm supposed too, I have so many friends, and I'm in college taking the class I really want to do and I was one of the 24 chosen out of a selection of 89 people.

My life is actually becoming great, yet when it finally happens this crippling anxiety comes back. Like I don't even think of anything I just have an anxiety feeling in my chest. I can't do anything without being worried it seems. I worry about the past, things I can't control, my future. Once I think about it maybe its me worrying because I don't want to lose all of what I have. Does that make sense? I just want to live a life happy and anxiety free is that to much to ask?

Hey sorry to hear about that. That sucks. I think the whole theory about being afraid that things are going so well and not wanting to lose it makes sense. I guess just look back and remind yourself how you got here in the first place and then remind yourself that you can still do that and there's no reason to stop. From what you described, it sounds like general anxiety, but I'm not sure. Are you experiencing social as well? Obviously I'm not a professional or a "healed" person, but my advice I can offer is talk to a friend (like your girlfriend maybe), remind yourself of how you got to where you are, and breathe deeply. Also, the fact that your life is getting better is a huge plus! Hope your mind clears.

Yeah the more you have to lose, the scarier life can get. Thats the funny thing about success and happiness. Theres always that doubt in the back of your head thats like "ok when is all this gonna come crashing down?". I suppose the best you can do is live in the present moment. So if something stupendously bad DOES happen down the road, you can at least say you enjoyed life up until then. At least thats how I try to look at things.

Anxiety can occur for any reason and for no reason. Anxiety often comes without warning and may not be something you can expect or control. But there are also things that can make your anxiety worse - anxiety triggers that make it more likely that you'll experience anxiety, panic, and a host of other anxiety related conditions.

If you could offer more in-depth advice on how you tackled your anxiety, I think we'd all appreciate that. Maybe you did CBT (cognitive behavioral therapy) group counseling?
