Anxiety Patterns

[Jebdog]

Hi,

Quick question, just wondering if anyone else has their anxiety manifest in the following cycle:-

Event triggers major anxiety,
Events passes or doesn't - regardless low level (or high) anxiety lingers with some depression usually about the anxiety,
Eventually anxiety dissipates,
Repeat.

No real timeline and I guess what I'm saying might come across as a pointless question but I just wondered if anyone else can relate to this.

Yes I can relate to this. I think that the depression side comes in with either beating yourself up about the way you handled the anxiety, or feeling of despair because event has triggered anxiety and you wish you didn't feel this way.

Well thats how it works for me.
