Two days ago I could feel my anxiety but it was very minor. However, last night I could feel it starting to get worse. I felt very fatigued, worn out and was developing body aches along with a headache. For the past two days I would get worn out around 4pm but I didn’t feel the need to nap, just relax. I managed to do my exercise those two days also.(I do a 2mile walk and mix in a half mile run) This morning, I had really bad body aches and had a hard time sleeping good after 7:30. (I usually get up around 10am)

I don’t have anything that I am worrying about unless there is something underlying but I can’t think of anything. The worst of the anxiety has gotten better as the day has gone on but I still feel tired and a little worn out.

I haven’t been working since March and have finally gotten my unemployment all worked out so I’m set financially. I have been keeping busy by doing things around the house and yard but I’m getting to the point where I am running out of things to do. Maybe it is boredom setting in. I don’t watch the news and limit my social media because everything is always so negative.

I have been good for several weeks so maybe this is just a cycle I am going through. 🤷🏻*♂️

You'd be surprised by the non-mental triggers for anxiety; weather changes (humidity levels, dry levels, smoke/sand particles/pollutant particles), environmental changes (home, apartment, neighborhood), routine changes, hormonal changes, nutritional deficiencies, blood diseases, heart disease, thyroid disease, medication combinations, food allergies or intolerances, acid reflux, the list is infinite of triggers for anxiety that is not related to mental illness.

Also, and most importantly: COVID has caused everyone to experience anxiety and trauma. Experts surmise that this pandemic can trigger everyone to develop PTSD symptoms. Long-term mental health PTSD effects of Covid-19 pandemic, explained

So, what you are experiencing -- the random attacks of anxiety -- is 100% likely due to the way the pandemic has disrupted your own life.

Yeah, I’m sure it’s a combination of some of those reasons you listed. Especially the uncertainty of COVID. I think I’m going to head to the mountains next week for the day for some Mother Nature therapy. Sit in a meadow next to a running river and throw the fishing line in. Hopefully that will help.
