Anxiety is my normal state?

So. I have this bodily feeling all the time. The reason I say bodily feeling is because It does not rule my emotions. Also it does not correspond with life events or how I am actually feeling.

I feel, in my stomach, I guess you would call it anxiety, butterflies. 24/7. In some manner.

Sometimes better, sometimes worse.

And while my body is producing this effect all the time. It is not the core value of my day or my experience. I have loving days, happy days, calm days, sexual days, creative days.

I do not worry, to extent. I am logical and rational. I am healthy.

I have, of course, had a bit of therapy. I am in fact in school to become a therapist.

So essentially what I am saying is this: Why the heck do I feel anxious 24/7 when I have nothing to be anxious about? There is literally no reason for it.

I recognize that treatment options include: CBT, mediation practices, medication. Although im not to keen on wanting to take Zoloft or other medications as they have a high rate of messing with ones sex drive.

My own analysis of this issue is that due to habitual therapy I "act" in a way that a non anxious person would act. Rationally and calmly. But for some reason my homeostasus.. my natural state, is keyed up anxiety.

So..
is my only solution to try medication till I find one that works?
Any tips?
Has anyone been on antidepressants for anxiety and not had side effects?

Could the keyed up anxiety be symptomatic of something else? Are other physical factors addressed?There are non anti depressant meds that address anxiety. I didn't fare well with the ad I was prescribed. I also wouldn't describe my own anxiety state, to be similar. Mine does involve heart palpitations. Living with an anxiety disorder, for me, involves an overall look and addressing my overall health, lack of sleep can trigger an anxiety attack, for me, for instance.

I'm thinking that you could comment this problem with a psychiatrist. I don't know your age but it could be due to testosterone if you are a guy.

Unluckily, antidepressants and anti-anxiety meds have the low of libido as a side effect but I'm taking Venlafaxina and I don't notice a special low of my libido like I suffered with other meds.
