Anyone here realise that anxiety is making them their own worst enemy? And torturing themselves with ridiculous thoughts and worries?? How do u stop? Cuz when I try to or I do I feel like why am I not worrying over that? Like I need to be prepared for the worst all the time

I think this is where cbt is supposed to help change your thoughts and patterns.
Haven't started it myself which may be why I have spent the last eight hours battling thoughts that every bodily sensation was the beginning of the end
Take care and have a worry free day.
Wish I could help! I'm in the same boat! Just letting you know you are not alone
I feel the same - all logic seems to disappear. I try to do deep breathing which helps me but it can be difficult to do when you are feeling extremely anxious! Hope your day gets better x
I feel the same way when I start to feel the anxiety coming on I start thinking worst case scenario and try and find out what my options will be if I pass out like is there someone I trust that can respond quickly enough or will they can an ambulance,will I make it to the hospital or die on the ride there? It's scary n exhausting! I tell myself I'm done fighting it but it just takes over! Once I get past that episode I feel fine only til it happens again, it always seems to be on the back of my head no matter how hard I try n move past it!
I sympathies with you as I am going through something similar. I was diagnosed with psvt and although it's not life threatening really,it sure feels like it. Every night my anxiety kicks in and keeps from getting a goodnight sleep. I get anxious, heart palpitations, arm pain and every night I think Its going to be the last. Thank God I'm still here but it's best to not give in into your anxiety. I know easier said than done but we can do it.
Imagination is overactivity in a racing mind...
When you imagination thinks good scenarios it makes you feel good...
When your imagination thinks bad scenarios it makes you worry...
Realise it is only your overactive imagination caused by a racing mind...
When you find calm the thoughts will hold less power ...
It is only your mind making up stories....laugh at them...
Blessings....
I feel you 100%
Think its blooming habits .After years of family problems alienation from two granddaughters my son has lost his job and I worry that if he does not get one soon he won't be able to pay CSA and his ex will stop us seeing them again .Had cancer and other physical illnesses that have dragged me down too
It makes you wonder if life's worth living sometimes
