What does it mean when you get nervous for no reason?

Getting nervous for seemingly no reason at all may be a result of anxiety. Symptoms include: Feeling nervous, restless or tense. Having a sense of impending danger, panic or doom. Having an increased heart rate. Breathing rapidly (hyperventilation) Sweating. Trembling. Feeling weak or tired. Trouble concentrating or thinking about anything other than the present worry. Do any of these symptoms apply to you? :)

It typically means that you are suffering from anxiety- which means you tend to overthink about certain things and worry about the future- it's nothing to worry about (no pun intended) because many people struggle with it and have overcome it.

When you get nervous for no reason you are suffering from anxiety. Maybe you are hard-earned, maybe you are in a strained relationship, or a plethora of other reasons. Anxiety can be disabling, even causing your hear to race, and you to swear profusely, and feel like you're going to have a heart attack if it gets bad enough. So if you find yourself suddenly getting nervous, breathe deep, drink cold water (puts your system into shock to pull you out of the attack), and meditate or talk to someone. It'll be all right.

Anxiety is irrational and therefore is hard to explain what is causing you to be anxious or worried. You won't want to go near things that trigger your anxiety. There are also ways to lessen anxiety such as the grounding method, focusing on breathing, or rationalizing your anxious thoughts. These don't work for everyone so try and find which ones work for you.

You could be scared of what could happen in the future. Maybe your worried about the future or focusing too much on past expierences that are effecting your present life.

Our nervous systems are wired to perceive threats in order to protect us. So there might be some signal or situation that your brain has previously noted as a threat that you're not noticing consciously, and it's sending that signal to your nervous system and setting off that physiological response (fight or flight). The key is to be mindful, take a few deep breaths, and look around. Take in the reality of the moment, the colors, sounds and scents. That will have a calming effect on your nervous system. It's physiologically impossible to be physically stressed when you're breathing deep, so even though nervous thoughts may continue, you'll feel calmer physically.

Sometimes when I'm stressed I tend to overthink and worry myself about things that aren't even there

You might be anxious or overthinking about things. The best thing to do is to distract yourself a bit and seek some help.

it means your experiencing anxiety. It takes over your logical way of thinking which causes things like feeling nervous for no reason.

When I get nervous for no reason, it means that I am anxious or possibly having some sort of mental attack. To calm myself, I like to take several deep breaths and ask myself what I can do to help my own well being and mental health.
