Does anyone for a couple of minutes feel 'normal' eg not spaced out not thinking about stupid things like dying and all that and then all of a sudden think that your not allowed to feel normal necause you have some sort of disease that's going to kill you and then you stress out again

Hello

I go weeks , months even longer without any negative thoughts but you made me smile because you took me back to how you are feeling in the early days of combating anxiety and you know what that is that is a sign that withing you you have the ability to be anxiety free but you have got so used to feeling anxious all the time that as soon as your mind and body relaxes and shall we say goes to normal it is like hang on a minute what is this as it will have been so long so wham in comes the anxiety again telling you this is how you should feel , as time goes on though if you keep doing what you are doing the episodes of feeling normal will get longer and the anxiety rushing back in will subside  

Take Care x

So true Bounce.  It's like an entity living inside us telling us we are not allowed to feel good.   You are so right, as time goes by, the feeling normal will get longer and will subside in intensity.   xx

When it happens put on some music if you can and focus on a favorite song. Hope this helps
