so I've been suffering from severe hyperawareness OCD and anxiety. When I get a burst of anxiety, the timing is so random. For those of you who get burst of anxiety for no 'specific reasons such as PTSD or drug use', it just is literally a random occurrance. And no matter how many times I think to myself that it's just my brain freaking out and how much I try to just accept the burst of anxiety and let it go, I still feel the full blown pain of anxiety when it happens(which happens randomly). So basically,
1. my severe burst of anxiety happens at random times.
2. what I think while the anxiety burst does not matter at all because my brain stops thinking(like a computer freezing) and pure anxiety and pain completely take over.
3. I've tried therapy and all kinds of 'tips' from people and nothing worked at all because my brain just freezes like a broken computer when burst of anxiety hits me out of nowhere.
so, how common is it to have 'no control at all' over anxiety attacks like my case? because I think that the majority of anxiety sufferers actually have 'some control' over it. I would like to get some honest answers.
