Please get a copy of the book "self help for your nerves" by Claire Weekes. She explains the whole fear/panic cycle very well.
What meds have you been prescribed for this I feel like fluox has helped for my depression but not helping for my anxiety, even the propranolol don't seem to help either
[QUOTE=LiveAboveIt;1630867]
I almost cried relating to your post, because as much as I can relate to this, my brother and I recently discovered that we share the same problem. I have an issue where I become constantly aware of when I am trying to focus, be creative or even when trying to remember absolutely anything at all. I understand this is largely related to anxiety, as it is fueled with constant doubt for my part, stupid little doubts that could mean the world to me.
Thank you for posting this! I feel the same as well, and am constantly monitoring my every movement, and thought thinking if I'm not normal.
Hope this helps but I just read more about Anxiety attacks and it really helped me feel better (please search for anxietycentre .com - I read their article on 10 ways to overcome anxiety attacks - sorry this forum is not allowing me to post links).
Hope that article helps you like it helped me, all the best wishes to your recovery! This is something we can all overcome!
Omg
This is so me, you have described it perfectly. I struggle to find right description to symptoms/things but yours is exactly how i feel. That constant thought chatter that can so run your life from waking to going to bed. No matter how i try to change the thought to something as simple as “ I’ll have a nice sandwich for lunch” ive got that thought already there saying “don't want it/feel sick”
Its a battle and exhausting and as such an impact on my life. I dont get that motivation or wanting to do/go things anymore as the thoughts are there at the forefront altering my mood/enthusiasm.
I feel im about to lose my mind sometimes, its so scary
If anybody as managed to conquer/ease this share
You’ve pretty much described how I feel most days. Thoughts taking over, lack of motivation, inability to knock these intrusive thoughts into touch, till it takes over your life. So hard to find ways to keep them at bay. My wife is suffering from me not being my old self and thus puts more pressure on me. Only exercising se seems to help. Meds not going much (40mg paroxetine). Have done CBT, have counselling etc. Just need a few mantras. Tell those thoughts to sod off. I’ve always been a thinker - wish I wasn’t. Just want NOT to think about anything. That’s called unconscious competence - if only it was that easy. Since losing my mum too, I have little enthusiasm for anything and am dreading the future and having to live like this.
It makes social life very hard. Anxiety and panic can take over it’s horrid. But you’re not alone.
All the best
Hi, I've been going through the exact same thing for almost 3 years. Every single day. All day. For almost 3 years. Terrified I'm stuck in this habitual way of thinking. I'm scared I could never go back to autopilot without thinking about if this feeling is gonna come back. Please reply.
Just wanted to bump and say “same here”. For me, it shows up at night when I’m trying to sleep. That’s the worst part about it for sure.
