When our nervousness cannot be explained by our circumstances, it may be a symptom of underlying anxiety. Anxiety is a common disorder affecting thousands of people across the world. Do you experience restlessness, excessive worrying, difficult concentrating, and irritability? Do you feel fatigued, with a racing heart, stomachache, and sleep disturbances? Do you feel as if your nervousness is taking control over your life, affecting the way you function in all areas of life? If so, you may be suffering from anxiety. Fortunately, most people with anxiety respond beautifully to treatment options such as managing stress, learning to self-care, attending counseling, or taking medications. A trained professional can help you pinpoint the cause of your nervousness and work through the thoughts, feelings, and behaviors that make you feel like your worrying is taking control.

Many people think anxiety is brought onto us only from outside standpoints. However anxiety itaelf can be the reason for nervousness on its own. Otherwise, maybe there is something subconciously moving through your mind that is setting off your nerves. Try deep breathing and meditation to help calm your nerves. It also might help to pull those reasons to the surface. Sometimes it can be as little as a mess in your house or something small that happened last month. If iit persists, try not to feed i to it, maybe watch something or read something to get your mind off of it. If you think too much it can cause somewhat of a spiral effect and create more anxiety.

You could be nervous due to anxiety. I have it too. With mine, I get a nervous feeling and constriction in my chest. I often will get into negative thought patterns in my head about what could be or is going wrong. Sometimes, the anxiety will be triggered by something specific, but other times, it comes on randomly. When it is bad, it severely impacts my sleep, which makes the symptoms fell worse. I found it really helpful to exercise and meditate more, along with seeing a psychiatrist and therapist. I would go and ask your doctor about it!

Being nervous for no reason is very normal. This is called anxiety. Anxiety is a thing all humans experience. If you keep experiencing anxiety though, this might be a problem. You might have an anxiety disorder. If this is the case, you need to seek help of a mental health professional. Other wise, experiencing anxiety every once and a while is very common. There are many strategies to calm this anxiety such as breathing and exercising. Other things you can do is things such as healthy eating and getting good sleep. I wish you the best of luck!

You might be afraid of having a situation that you had before where you were very nervous - not able to fight or flight. By being nervous, you are protecting yourself from being hurt. In other words, nervousness helps you to prepare for an unwanted situation. However, there are better ways to feel to prepare for an unwanted situation. Such as, writing a list of what one can do and keep adding to it in time by thinking about that unwanted situation. Nervousness is a defense mechanism however it is a defense mechanism for immediate unwanted situations such as crossing a street when there are many cars moving around. Therefore one should think about what they are nervous about (even if there does not seem to be one in plain sight) and try to find an answer to that question in order not to be nervous.

Sometimes I find I am not consciously aware of what I have been thinking. And often when I do become aware of my thoughts, I see how they contribute to the anxiety I may be feeling. Other times even if the present moment is just fine, the cumulative effects of anxiety producing situations thoughts and feelings that I haven't kept in check put my nervous system on overload. So I work hard to be more aware of how I'm thinking and feeling so that I can take care of myself. For me it means minimize my stress, stay present with my thoughts and deal effectively and directly with what is within my control. I also try to get good quality sleep (I do well with a weighted blanket), exercise, drink enough water and eat healthy and be with or talk to people who care about me. But most of all I talk to myself about why things are really ok. But most of all when I can't shake it, I tell myself it's ok to ask for support or professional help.

Nerves, they’re a force to be reckoned with. But they’re something we were given to keep ourselves safe, a danger sensor. Anxiety can come in many didnt forms, some stem from past traumas and some are there for no good explanation. These anxious moments can get very irritating if they are around more than needed. Sometimes looking into ways to cope with these anxious moments can really benefit us all. In the end try and remember that our body always wants the best for us, we are a team after all, and nervous moments are just our brains trying to grasp hold of something to comprehend, and that can be tiring sometimes.

If you are nervous, if you are experiencing any kind of emotion like nervousness, anxiety, greed, hatred, or even joy, enthusiasm, there has to be a reason and it's up to you to find it, whether you like it or not. It's up to you to investigate the source of that nervousness: what has triggered it? Was it an event, some words from someone or the way somebody behaved towards you? Find a calm and silent spot, sit on a chair, close your eyes, breathe normally for 5 minutes, let thoughts come and go and let the reason of your nervousness arise inside of you and little by little you will start to see more clearly its nature. Don't do anything but denying there's been a reason which triggered your emotions and you will still experience nervousness and tell yourself the story that your emotion has no reason. That's how your suffering, your unsatisfaction, your unpleasant feelings will keep coming back and create more suffering.

This is something that would need further exploration in order to fully understand it. However, I can tell you that it seems you haven't been processing your emotions well. In this case, I would tell you that talking about your feelings and experiences with someone will surely help you to bring to conscious all that's been pilling up inside. Putting a word to your emotions will help you process and organize your thoughts, giving you calm and control over your mind. This is why connecting with people and opening up is so important. We all need to express ourselves and take it all out of our chests so that we feel our hearts lighter and our minds less crowded. Talking is part of our mental hygiene and it really doesn't take much to start feeling the results. Right after a good talk, in which you can be really honest with yourself and express your true feelings without holding back, you will feel that a heavy weight had been taken off your chest and you'll experience calm.

Most of the time, we are unable to identify why we get anxious or what makes up nervous or anxious! The main thing to consider is how are we handling our stress and anxiety? Are we using healthy coping methods? Are we considering our own self care and mental health? Who or what is involved? There are a number of reasons someone can be nervous and most of the time they are very valid reasons! Don't let anyone tell you "that's nothing to worry about," because everyone has their own anxieties and fears. And they are ALL valid !!
