Hello!
I'm new to this forum but certainly not a stranger to anxiety. I'm not here to grumble and complain because I'm very aware that everyone is here because it's bloody difficult to live with this stuff.
After a great couple of years I've spent the last six months struggling with my anxiety but the weird thing is that I can go for days and weeks with very low or even no anxiety and then I'll wake up and have days/weeks of high level anxiety...with no obvious trigger. I'm still functioning fine but I don't really understand the ups and downs that I'm experiencing. In the past I've had ongoing symptoms with no relief...but this is seemingly random. I'm thinking about patterns relating to hormones, foods I've eaten, the amount/quality of sleep I have...even if it's full moon!
Is this on-off-on-off anxiety typical of any particular anxiety disorder (I was diagnosed with OCD some years back, but am on top of those particular symptoms)? Does anyone else have these dramatic, sporadic and seemingly random changes?
Any info/insight would be appreciated!
Cheers
