Hi everyone does anyone get anxiety just out of the blue? I get it and it's a pain in the backside, I could be watching tv, sleeping, working anything and bang anxiety comes on. It's been going on for a while now, I have seen my doctor and has given me meds to take they do help as I don't get them as much as used to like every day. But still getting anxiety still sucks.

Yes, I can identify. My anxiety comes out of the blue, many triggers, thanks to underlying issues of trauma.
