Would I be right?

[Laniben]

Would I be right in saying that the fear factor we can get with anxiety/panic is often, or maybe the whole cause, of something we actually fear within ourselves? For example, we fear we’re having a heart attack because someone dear to us had one, or we just generally fear it anyway. Or it could be an illness we’re afraid of that Gives is that ‘fearful feeling’ during anxiety or panic. Since there’s a lot of psychology in and around all this and many other things in life, could I be right? It was just something that crossed my mind earlier, so thought I’d ask you all. It kind of makes sense in a way, because we don’t actually know what we’re afraid of when having major anxiety but it could be this on a sub conscious level we don’t always recognise it. Any thoughts?

Hi Sam

I think you are right, alot of what is going on with anxiety and depression us sub conscious.

Hi did your doctor appointment go today and how are you feeling now. Hope this does not wake you up if you are asleep.

I know this post is 2 months old but I wanted to add a comment, ive been smoking for 11 years. I know 3 people that have died of it, 2 from COPD one from lung cancer. I keep seeing billboards that say "early detection matters" for lung cancer. Also adds that say lung cancer can cause pain in your shoulder. After seeing all of those things i started getting shoulder pains and a pain in my left side. Tbh i really think it is my anxiety playing tricks on me. I am going to see a doc tomorrow anyways just to check but honestly, i think your on to something.

Yes it’s our own fear of whatever it is that we most fear.
