weirdest anxiety trigger

Cole102201 April 4th, 2015

okay I guess I don't want to feel alone when I have anxiety or panic attacks or the silliest things... I feel the silliest when I get anxious over not being able to find the remote for my bedroom tv... If I can't find it after 5 mins or so it has turned in to a panic attack... What is the weirdest/ silliest thing that gives you anxiety

I feel your pain im the exact same. I used to completely freak out if I ever had to stay over at anyone's home but mine (especially if I knew I couldnt leave, eg holidays), to the point of id drive home at 3.30 am just to avoid it. Also anything to do with alcohol, darn stuff haha.

I usually get panic attacks because of family or school. But do you get just anxious, or do you start hyperventilating, feeling dizzy or any sort of symptoms of a serious panic attack?

You probably need medical help. I wish I could have some medical help, but my mom thinks I can fix it by myself. I usually have a lot of chest pain too, it's awful, and my most common symptom is hyperventilation. I just hate it. Sometimes I can't even breath.

That's great, I guess. I wish I could know a way to seek medical help without my mom saying "oh, you don't need medication! I know you have problems, but you can get better by yourself... bla bla bla bullsh*t" I was having a panic attack on an important event this afternoon and I almost couldn't breath, and my chest was hurting a lot! I had to fake I was okay and it was awful

The worst thing for me is my mobile ringing. Scince I received a phone call to inform me my mum had passed I can not cope with my phone ringing. It just takes mea straight back there. Everyone's else's phones don't bother me, I chabged my ring tone, and changed my phone. But I can't handle it. And I hate to answer it. I have to ask people to text me and I'll call them back.

It has cost me so much though and has kind of become a crutch. Ine day I think I'm going to try and work on it and then the thought makes me very anxious. I've asked people to help but no one has...

Try talking to your friends and family about it, I expect you already know someone suffering.

I have been driving for many years now, just avoid highways. People drive too fast, aggressive, or reckless for my comfort. It stems a lot from my anxiety and my crappy car that is falling apart. That's how it started.

Just thinking about doing it gives me anxiety. Even being a passenger sometimes does.

My weirdest trigger is spending money unexpectedly. Like if I get sick and have to get antibiotics or something, I go into a panic attack. Also, spending money on food triggers me badly
