Anxiety without fear

Hi Kamry,

It might be a good idea to rule out any other causes but it does sound like stress or anxiety. You can have physical symptoms without the fear. How often do you experience these physical symptoms? You mention you are not sure on triggers, can you think back to when you had the symptoms? What was happening? Perhaps we can help you find the triggers.

Welcome Kamry

Lucky are you if you have no fear. But then why do you have to remove yourself from the situation. Why not just ignore it. Are you not afraid it will get worse. There is fear, and there is fear. I would classify having to get away and not wanting to do something as fear, but pretty mild compared to a panic attack. If you add onto your symptoms a fear of something you can't understand and the inability to make a clear decision along with such things as the need to void, rubber legs, tunnel vision and the need to get away before you pass out along with a feeling of being very cold or very hot you would have a panic attack. Take away those and just add uncontrollable fear and you have an anxiety attack. 
Anxiety is normal, we are wired to feel anxious as a survival skill. 

Forget all you have been told about GAD happening for no reason. Sorry but your brain does not do anything for no reason. It can't. It may look that way if your triggers seem to come out of the blue but if you remove everything that isn't consistent till you have only things that are you will find the trigger, finding why it is a trigger depends on your core beliefs. Don't be surprised if the trigger is not what you thought. I know a nurse whose trigger is the colour Yellow. Why I don't know nor does she. It isn't bad enough to fix, so she just avoids the colour yellow. My triggers are all a lot worse.

Depression is a chemical imbalance if it is clinical and not just sad. Seratonin is the usual chemical. It is used for proper thought and as a calming agent by limiting the amount of information getting to the brain. Dopamine is another but it can limit or allow information depending on need so is considered a mood stabilizer. A number of others can calm or excite the synapses causing over attentiveness or drowsy and lead to anxiety. Constant anxiety can lead to depression that has nothing to do with being sad, it has to do with suppressing pathways in the brain. This is why constant pain can cause depression too. And core beliefs if they are negative will do it too.

If you can find the trigger, no matter how silly it might be it will give you something to change.

I have many physical symptoms of an anxiety attack, but I don't have the fear. Is that usual?  My heart will start racing, I will have shortness of breath, may become sweaty, muscles will feel like they are twitching, I just don't feel this fear that I keep reading about. Although, I do have to remove myself from the situation to feel better. And it's always suddenly. I have no idea the triggers.  I recently was diagnosed with depression, which I've struggled with for 25 years, since my mother died. But 2 years ago when my sister died I was told that those things I do, is actually an anxiety attack. I always thought it was something weird that just happened to me. No big deal. But is embarrassing and I'd make excuses as to my odd, brief behavior.  I'm just really curious about not having the fear component and if it's really anxiety or something else. Thank you.
