anyone else do this??

When im anxious I usually keep my hand flat over my chest above where my heart is and keep it there for ages feeling my heart beat. For some reason it comforts me when im anxious maybe because I can feel my heart beating so I must be alive. Gosh im crazy!!!
This fear of my heart suddenly stopping is driving me insane..

[MiST]

Your certainly not crazy. We all have our own coping methods and if it works for you that's great. I might try it myself..:D

Yes, I definitely do that! When I was having heart worries, I felt like was assuring to feel my heart beating. It's a good sure sign of life.

But now that I'm feeling my heart beating, I'll be paying way too much attention to it, feeling if its beats out of sync or it's not a strong beat or something else. Gah, annoying to do that, so I'm actually trying to not keep feeling for a heart beat for assurance, because in the end it makes my mind worry more and over analyze everything that much worse :/

I thought soccer was football there. Or do you mean football as in NFL? Or soccer, the American game? Maybe your favorite team is from the US?

If you're going to brag about bad hygiene with your pants, please tell us what sport you are referring to and the team.

No wonder we had the Revolution. You all are confusing. LOL!

I wore them last week when I lumped on the patriots to beat the Ravens. These trousers are magic... They're unbeatable!

I was at that freakin game! What a joke.

They look horrible this year. They can still limp their way into the playoffs.

But they won't make it. They're gonna let that little ginger kid Dalton end their playoff hopes this weekend :(

Hi Vonnhelsing!

Sounds like a good feedback mechanism. As you monitor your own heart rate, you will find what works for helping you slow it down if it is racing or calm it down if it is palpitating.
