I just had my first really recognizable round of "free floating" anxiety after months and months of depression. For me it was about old feelings and memories that had been stirred up and then were being constantly triggered by things all around me.
I finally realized that what I needed to do was TELL my Therapist that I was anxious about all these memories and then report the dreams and memories. This was really hard and emotionally draining *BUT* I did reduce the anxiety. (Now I'm just sad and upset...*sigh*)
Can you check in with yourself and see if there is something that needs to be said...or a question that needs to be asked? Even the upcoming Holidays can produce this if there is a person/event you don't really want to deal with.
Just some thoughts. You aren't alone.
