Well, often it might be the fear of having anxiety and panic attacks, though there might be many subconcious things happening that you might not notice are triggering.

Random anxiety can happen to anyone who suffers from panic attacks. I will suddenly get the feeling that I might have a panic attack at any moment. If this is a feeling you get, it's worth seeing a therapist or talking to someone on 7 Cups about your anxiety.

Yes. When that happens to me I focus on my breathing. My body is feeling stress and I just tell myself I'm having a panic attack. The sooner I recognize it, the easier it is to control

When someone is left alone or in a small room can cause panic attacks or anxiety.
Or them waking up in the middle of the night.

Nothing really. I have had them before and most of the time I had no idea why. It was usually stress and worries that caused them though. A lot of stressing out and worrying was the main cause for panic attacks.

There could be underlying things that are causing the anxiety, such as something bothering you in the back of your mind. But there are some types of anxiety that don't necessarily come with a cause, and it's not abnormal to suddenly feel anxious and have no idea why. Sometimes, it doesn't matter why, all that matters is the steps you take to help yourself through it.

There's something all the stiuations (where nothing is going on) that is present, maybe it's a trgger you've never noticed but it's there in all those cases (it could be something physical or something that you can't touch like a thought or an emotion/feeling)...it's just there...find it and you'll find out why.

There is something going on. There always is. You may not know it, just STOP take a breath, look at your surroundings and your thoughts. Label it. Tell yourself it will be okay because it will be.

Memories can trigger some attacks, those lingering traumatic experience. Even if you try to not think, it still comes back to you. So those can be some triggers.

The Facebook "Seen" message gives me a lot of anxiety! When I see that the person has "seen" the message, but does not reply, I start thinking about all the possible reasons why they would 'ignore' me... Does anyone else feel this? If so, how do you cope?
