i wonder...

[MrMike]

why is it that anytime we feel something going on in our body its so easy to convince ourselves that its something deathly serious...and yet to hard to be convinced that its really nothing at all to worry about?

Its this damn anxiety that wont allow us to think rationally. All logic goes out the window. F U anxiety and all the BS you shovel into my life.

so sorry guys...just had to vent. :I

I suffer the same fate as you.. any little ache or pain I immediately think it's something worse... I stay clear of things that alter my mind or body (alcohol or pot) cause it gives me more anxiety than I usually have but sometimes I give in and think maybe it's for the better and convince myself to give it a go any how I constantly check my heart and if I feel anything off I focus all of my mind on what ever I feel and Google things right away and in doing this my anxiety feeds off it and has more energy and it's all cause I give it power.. a thought is powerless until you give it power which then can be bad depending on he thought our problem is giving power to thoughts of pains that are most likely nothing at all to where we create our own sensation of pain half the time which is why most people say things are in our heads only (idk just venting off a hunch)

MrMike, you are so right, all logic goes out the window. The anxiety yesterday and today are at an all time high. Today worse than yesterday. I'm certainly not new to this disorder. It's affecting my blood pressure. I cannot calm down. I listened to my relaxation tape over and over like I do every morning and yet it didn't work. I wanted to throw that out the window as well. Nobody understands what it is like around me.

I'm glad that there is this support for anxiety. I feel like an outcast from society. My tapes say that we all have a purpose in life, I wonder what mine is with both agoraphobia and anxiety? Wishing us all well.
