Input please? I'm really worried.

Hi Ashley,

Your dodgy thoughts are custom-made, premium grade A, pure first-press extra-virgin scary thoughts, made just for you by your devious brain! Your brain knows what will scare you, it wants to scare you, and it WILL scare you. If you let it.

Your anxiety creates adrenalin and the false 'fight or flight' reflex you've inherited from your animal ancestors - this is interpreted by your 'old brain' as something really nasty happening and it churns out the darkest thoughts it can so you can see if it's that that is happening.

The minute you invite these thoughts home for tea, you're screwed. Like I said before, observe the thoughts, get to see what they are by all means but let them go. That 'troupe of soldiers' is NOT REAL, you can't ask others if they've seen or experienced things that are not real! Thoughts are thoughts, reality is reality.

Let the thoughts go. With them your anxiety will go too.
