It's kinda a protection mechanism, to be ready for the worst....i duuno how to explain it throughly but I always think the worst thing...and then when it doesnt happen I feel much better, but if it does happen im ready for it.
Think rationally...alot of bad things that happened in the past can influence this thinking. And of course somepeople where just born to be in fear....sometimes its a genetic thing...my grandmother was always scared...she always thought the worst, i usally tried to tell her it was going to be alright...but then when she passed away and I grew up it started happening to me.
It's a feeling of not being able to control something...kinda like powerlessness...and that creates fear, and instability.
dopamine can make you think and be ready for bad things...its a motivation chemical...NE is what causes the anxity...dopamine also can cause paranoia and fears....
just try to relax and take day by day....low dose of a antipsychotic can reduce fear episodes, seriously....but that's up to the doc.
hang in there...
