Planning scenarios

[Meganhevv]

Am I crazy? For many years now I have struggled with depression and anxiety and for well over a year I've felt good about myself. But since I was younger I think of worst case scenarios and plan what I'd do if they happened. For example I walk by my little cousins school and I can hear them screaming and playing. My brain thinks of right if there was a shooting in the school right now what would I do? Would I run away or go in and find her. While in a car I imagine a crash Infront of me or myself. And what I'd do I put my self into scenarios such as terror attacks while sat on the train or plane crashing into my house or near by or even tsunamis! Can anyone really explain this am I the only one? Have a got a disorder as I know this isn't normal. It took alot for me to get help for my depression but I didn't really go into this with my Dr.

Maybe it would help if you do go into this with your doctor. The doctor can help figure out whether you really do have more anxiety than most people. A lot of people with depression also have anxiety.

I have had medications for anxiety. But this has been going on for many many years before all the issues started I'm talking childhood

You’re definitely not the only one, it sucks always thinking of the worst thing but that’s what anxiety does! It will get better I promise x
