Guess what happens if your cortisol drops too low for any reason? Your genes try to compensate for that by telling the adrenal glands if they can't pump out any more cortisol then pump out epinephrine or adrenaline or norepinephrine instead. And that happens.
Guess what happens if cortisol is too high? Same thing - over amp-ed on adrenaline.
What happens when you have millions of microscopic pathogens clinging to your Vegas nerve, chewing on it? Do you think that might cause some serious anxiety or what?
So above are 2 random examples of how an actual identifiable fixable physical thing causes the anxiety, and you have no idea where it is coming from.
I could list literally 100's of similar scenarios inside of your body causing anxiety. They are all treated or pushed back with umbrella approach of anti-toxicity, anti-inflammation, and anti-pathogens. You will never know the exact cause of the anxiety. But if you treat your body for toxicity, inflammation, and microbe overload, your anxiety will likely be gone. That's just my opinion based on what my eyes have seen happen with other people similar in situation to you.
The disease is whatever is causing the anxiety. It isn't just happening all by itself just because. It just isn't. Something is making it happen. And there are only 3 categories to explore. Toxicity, inflammation and microbes.
I totally understand the chemical prescription approach and I totally understand the "it's a disease" approach. Because keep in mind I was chronic treatment resistant depression patient with co-diagnosis of anxiety, schizo-affective and bipolar for a really long time - half my life - and most of that time I was right here at psychobabble every single day, sometimes every hour of every day! So believe me, I know where you are coming from. I know the mindset. It's not a bad mindset. It just doesn't lead to true healing or true remission. That's my beef with conventional treatments. They don't go deep enough to actually change the game in a real way. Generally. imo
But we'll never know.
