Is it possible
to have anxiety symptoms and not feel anxious or stressed?
Yes, we hear this all the time. In fact, I (Jim Folk) felt the
same way when my anxiety condition occurred. I didn't think I
was anxious or stressed either. In fact, when my doctor told
me that anxiety and stress were causing my symptoms, I laughed
and thought he was way off base.
Since anxiety personalities live more anxiously than others
for a long time, their elevated level of anxiety feels normal
to them. For example, I couldn't tell I lived anxiously because
I thought my level of anxiety was normal and that everyone else
lived that way too.
But that's the problem, because I lived anxiously and my elevated
level of anxiety was my "normal," I didn't know what
living less anxiously felt like. So I had nothing to compare
to. Once I understood anxiety better, however, it became really
apparent as to how unhealthy I was living.
But this is also the good news, too. Since we've learned to
live more anxiously than others, we can also learn how to live
healthier and less anxiously. Doing so eliminates anxiety symptoms
by default.
