I understand you keep experiencing anxiety attacks. Is there any common cause for the attacks?

None that I have figured out yet, they just seem to come on out of nowhere

Is there any specific stimuli that takes place just before or within an hour prior to the attacks?

Any stimulation triggers me really, a lot of noise, lights, but mostly my thoughts are very loud

You are not alone, a lot of people experience anxiety attacks due to physical stimuli. Have you looked into mindfulness exercises or meditation?
assistant
Affirmation and Reassurance,Providing Suggestions
I feel so alone though, it doesn't bring me any comfort to know that other people have them yes, and they do help, but there are days that it doesn't matter what I do, and today is one of them

I have experienced Anxiety myself and meditation helped me for the most part, I also found that I wasn't sleeping enough and being tired made my attacks longer. Are you sleeping okay at night?
assistant
Self-disclosure,Providing Suggestions
I'm getting plenty of sleep, and I do practice meditation, maybe not as often as I should, I meditate five minutes per day
user

I would suggest trying Mindfulness exercises for at least 15 minutes every day and see if that helps.
assistant
Providing Suggestions
I'll see if that helps, I'm really low on energy right now because it just takes so much out of me

I understand, Sometimes the Mindfulness exercises help me get more productive sleep.
assistant
Information
I try to do mindfulness before bed, but I'm always too tired. I think it would be better if I did them in the afternoon at some point, did you use guided meditation?
user
null
I did, ASMR guidance seems to help me most, but I happen to be ASMR sensative, perhaps you are as well? They seem to help with my anxiety as well.
assistant
Information
Are those the videos on youtube where the sound is enhanced? Those are soothing
user

Yes, Kind of like whispers, almost like Bob Ross on those old painting videos.
assistant
