Being anxious is something that pops up for no reason sometimes. I will even wake up anxious before the day has begun. I don't know why this is happening and I'm not sure how to control this feeling?

Stress could possibly cause anxiety. Feeling anxious is normal in some situations, but excessive anxiety may link to stress or something of past traumatic experiences. Calmly breath and try to stay calm at the best of your ability. Maybe talk to a professional or someone in your life to help. :)

It's always good to focus on the present moment when feeling anxious and simply just allowing yourself to breathe. Often focusing on breathing can allow us to be distracted from overwhelming thoughts that can lead anxiety to become even more of a struggle to deal with. It also may be difficult but try to remind yourself you won't feel like this forever. It will pass. There is always hope.

Try doing some yoga, that may help, or some meditation to start your day maybe? Have you gone to the doctors about this? What kind of thoughts pop up? Remember, you are in control of this feeling, even though it rises you have to take full responsibility to not bring yourself down because of it, don't give it the power to stop you from being happy today.

Maybe try writing down when you feel anxious to see why it happens. Take deep breaths, meditate, and listen to calming music to calm your anxiety down.

I often take a shower, brush my teeth and try to do something creative to take my mind of things and express my feelings. For example, I like to paint, write, sing or do something that is similar. Many times it works really well. Otherwise, listening to music or calling someone that makes me happy can be really helpful. I like to write down when I feel the most anxious. That way I can figure out if something I do causes my anxiety to be triggered - even if I hadn't noticed before. Daylio is a good app for tracking your feelings. Try different things and see if anything can help ease the feeling of anxiety.

Anxiety usually has a trigger—an event or thought that provokes an anxious response. However, most people aren’t aware of their triggers, and believe they have become anxious for no reason. As human beings evolved, our species developed an instinctual response to danger, known as “fight, flight, or freeze”. The sympathetic nervous system makes our bodies and minds react quickly when we are in danger, and we may choose to stand and fight, run away, or stay totally still as if playing dead, known as the “freeze” response. Our anxiety, or fear, evolved as an alarm bell to move us into life-saving action. In our modern world, we encounter conflicts that aren’t actually life-threatening. But our nervous system doesn’t know this, and so we can react to a variety of stimuli with the fight, flight, or freeze response, even when it is inappropriate. Add this to the fact that anxiety can also cause confusion or disassociation, and you can see why the exact causes of your anxiety are often so hard to pin down.
