I have been diagnosed with anxiety and depression but I swear I am normally the most even keel person I know (we'll as far as anyone else sees anyways). I take great strides to not react to the depressive or anxious thoughts. Even still I have on rare occasion something that slips through. It's like a mini break down I guess. I don't know what it is.
An example if this: I am showing the boyfriend something and he loses interest in what I am saying, reminds me that I have left the cream cheese out. My mind, being completely focused on the other task, locks up. All logical thought comes to a grinding halt, confused. So what does oh so logical Sae do? I start crying uncontrollably because I lost my train of thought.
I can't seem to control the volatile moments. They last all of 2-5 minutes and leave as suddenly as they appear. Unfortunately as I approach the anniversary of my husband's death they are much more frequent. I can't stand them. They leave me embarrassed and emotionally exhausted. Is this common with anxiety? How does one prevent these volatile moments from ocurring?
