Hi Terror -x

Never had a panic attack about it...but I know what you mean....I think the body is not used to the anxiety levels being low. To me it sounds a good thing as your anxiety is falling. I have felt weird about feeling ok....as it seems unusual for me. I guess the more familiar you get with the normal feeling you will adjust. Hope things are okay for you anyway and take care...

I know what you mean, sometimes feeling normal is such an unusual feeling it feels wrong, which is kind of weird. Similiar when really relaxed (rare I know)..it feels weird too.

Yup. If I get that "normal" feeling, it freaks me out!

Never lasts though.

[terror-x]

yes it gave me abit of a panic this morning just starting to feel better now

If you're feelin good, then you're feeling good. If your thoughts interrupt this, no matter how rare it may be, you need help. Although my avg day is not that bad, I still need help. And if I cannot appreciate a good day, then put me in an institution

Hi, I can totally relate to this also. I havent had my anxiety as long as others , approx 6 months but when I feel normal its like I feel I shouldnt be that way and then the more I think about it the more the anxiety creeps back so its like a vicious circle. I'm pleased to say though that this feeling IS getting less, just taking one day at a time and hoping I can have more normal days without worrying about it :) xx

I've had my anxiety for about 11. Years angelheart it's not good

It may happen because we are so used to analyse ourselves and we are trained in detecting every little sign of anxiety. I have a feeling that people who are not experienced by prolong anxiety are busy with doing stuff and they do not think so much. So maybe make a good plan of various activities for all day (till late evening) and enjoy.:yahoo:

I can totally relate to this, as it's recently happened to me. I was doing well for a week, which I started questioning myself if its normal to feel happy/neutral and not anxious, which got me googling and came across "Bi-polar" which scares the utter crap out of me. And woke up the next day anxious & panicky as hell worrying about having it.

I think its because were scared to have that normal feeling taken away from us. Which makes us over analyse everything we do.

I have, sometimes I think to myself, 'why am I OK today, the anxiety should be here and it's not'. My brain forces me to take backwards steps, as though I should only live me life through panic/anxiety. It is conditioning, we have conditioned our brains to believe that the anxious state is the normal state of mind, how wrong!!!!!!!!!!!

I am also the same! Although I don't have a panic attack over it. If I'm not feeling anxious when I get up or throughout the day I think what's wrong with me? Why am I feeling 'normal'! I think cos we live our lives thinking it's okay to be anxious when we're okay we think it's wrong!!
