Ok so I figured out a few things. Since I was about 13 or so I started obsessing & making myself feel bad for anything that I did wrong or considered wrong. I couldn't stand anyone being mad at me or doing wrong to someone. When the anxiety developed much worse all those "things" came up but blown out of proportion. Most of them were silly & laughable. My sister-in-law & husband keep telling me that those things are so silly & not even bad things or mistakes or whatever.
Whenever I got rid of the anxiety for a while (longest time of no anxiety was 4yrs straight).....ruined that last summer by thinking I didn't need the meds cuz I was feeling perfect. I relapsed then & got better for a few months & now relapse a month ago from lowering meds.
So my anxiety is not about getting sick, life threatening things, work, finances or anything like that........but those things I mentioned above get way escalated when I'm anxious. I tend to write points Down about whatever happened to try to analyze it so that I would be ok with it.
I'm scared, I'm worried I can't get my thinking to be normal again. It makes me hate myself sometimes & I can't breathe.
I hope I made some sense
