Does anyone have anxiety sporadically throughout the day, but feel completely fine, even great for other portions? For me, I’ll have some days when I wake up anxious, just having a feeling of dread for no reason. Yet, this anxiety isn’t crippling to the point where I can’t move or get up out of bed, I just typically feel nervous and the feeling can persist for several hours. It gets worse if I’m alone or have a lot of time to think. Throughout this period of anxiety, I’ll have “breakthroughs” where I feel completely fine, even great. They can last a few seconds or minutes at a time, then I go back to anxiety. As the day progresses, I might be able to shake the anxious feeling completely in the afternoon, but if I don’t, before I go to bed I feel 100% fine. In the last hours of the night before I go to sleep I always feel normal and anxiety free. Is this normal? Does anyone else experience something similar? 

I had anxiety as a kid, but it went away for years after I reached middle school. It’s now coming back after a recent health scare and I don’t remember how it used to feel. I have a therapist appointment upcoming, but I thought I would feel better in the meantime knowing I’m not alone with how I feel.

Thanks guys... this community is truly a big help! 

Edit: Also does anyone have anxiety over the thought of not being able to overcome anxiety? I know that might sound stupid, but I’m beginning to get worried that I will not be able to kick it like I was when I was a child and I’m wondering to myself how I’ll be able to perform at school and work if I don’t.
