I’ve never been diagnosed with having anxiety, I’ve always chalked it up to being nervous in certain situations. For example, I hate flying. If I have a trip scheduled that involves flying, I will have bad anxiety until the trip is over. If I must give a presentation, I will have anxiety until the presentation is over because I hate public speaking.  

For the past 5 months I have experienced this “nervousness” daily, sometimes with ordinary task and it comes out of nowhere. I’m sitting in a food drive through today and all of a sudden, this feeling comes over me with my heart beating fast and I lose my appetite, even though I was just starving. I had to pull off because I felt that something bad was going to happen. 

Everyday I feel like something bad is going to happen and I hate feeling like this. Good days are becoming few and far between. This is not normal for me. 

Where do I start to get help? I feel that if I go to a doctor to address my concerns, they will just think I’m trying to get anxiety pills and brush me off. Is this something I need to see a therapist for? Any success with CBD oil or natural remedies?
