Indeed, and this is how I ended up in a bad place 6 months ago. There was NOTHING in the grand scheme of things that was bad. Still isn't. Secure, well paying job. Stable, rock-solid marriage with wife who is as hot as the day we met 17 years ago and is an awesome mom to our 2 healthy and intelligent kiddos (also happens to have an awesome job and makes good money). Good savings account building up every year. And yet BOOM- I started having anxiety issues in January.
I kept telling myself "There is no real problem, what is wrong with you?" But that didn't work. I had to start seeing a therapist to get to the root of what is wrong, and I'm still delving into things. One thing I've learned is that it is ok to feel bad even though all the big things look good- the important thing is to really get at what is bothering you and once you understand that, then you can take steps to help yourself.
