Hey All,
I've been suffering a bit from depression and anxiety lately. My depression is lifting a bit, but the anxiety seems to still be around. Theres one aspect of it all that makes me nervous.
So, I have been having a little bit of general anxiety lately. I can be home, and in my room or on the couch and just get anxious for no reason. I kind of fear the fear. It's almost as if I am feeling fine then I can get myself worked up thinking 'what if I had a panic attack right now.' It is not like one thing gives me anxiety it is the anxiety that gives me the anxiety. It is not all the time, it just has ebb and flow throughout the day.
But one thing kind of frightens me. With all of these negative thinking patterns I kind of start to think what if I am losing my mind. I've always been afraid of that and I start to think, what if "x,y,z" happens and I went absolutely mad. Is it normal to think like this when you are anxious? I am also hypercritical of all my actionscwhen I am feeling anxious, and ask myself "was that odd?"
I just wanted to see what the community thought.
Thanks.
