Does anxiety cause a change in.....

[panicsucks]

.... what you do?

i've been thinking more and more about this and i seem to do alot of the same things i.e. sit and watch something i know keeps my mind occupied etc....

its lead me to think that my entire behavior pattern has build itself around anxiety making me do things that make me less anxious and its almost obsessive.

would this seem right or am i just thinking too much?

Most people who suffer from anxiety change what they do somehow. I like to work with my hands, but I've been doing to more often now to occupy myself. My mom keeps telling that it is a great thing to do with anxiety. So I usually sew. Then there are certain things I avoid. I try nto to think too much about anything because that scares me, and I don't want to read about certain things.

am I going on the same track as you? :tongue:
