Hey,
I have been expereincing a lot of anxiety lately. It all started out thinking about my heart exploding. To think about it abstractly doesn't bother me; I have normal blood pressure and a healthy heart. But to think about what it would feel like if it happened makes me [u]crazy [/u] anxious. It is the same with other things, no matter how stupid/irrational: I think about what it'd be like to hallucinate and get very anxious. I think about my head exploding and get incredibly anxious. No matter how stupid the idea, if I can imagine it happening, it will make me anxious. I know they're irrational thoughts and won't happen, but the feeling my mind gives me drives me nuts.
Anyone else have anxiety like this? Or know any ways to help me through it?
Note: I have a lot of anxiety similar to what I read on this board, but haven't seen anyone mention anything like this.
Thanks!
