It was very recently that I figured out I was overstressing myself out. I had put all of my hobbies, friends, needs, and fun on the back burner and was souly focused on working and doing school. I had never done either full time before. Bad idea.
I am the type of person who will tell myself "everythings fine" when it isn't, then be hit with the emotions all at once later in a ton-of-bricks fashion. This is not healthy and I am working on fixing that part of myself.
I decided to limit the things I was doing to lower my stressors and anxiety and within a couple of days, I have already seen a huge difference in how I feel.
Point being, anxiety over simple things is ALWAYS related to a bigger issue. Because you have a panic attack in a store doesn't neccissarily mean that the store is a horrid place, it could most likely be from that argument you had with a family member that is still on your shoulders, or perhaps a situation at work.
Examine your life and fix the bigger issues first. Even though feeling anxious is a horrible feeling, that isn't always the best place to start. Figure out how to resolve those bigger issues and the anxiety will calm itself down.
