Anyone else get this? I think it's called Anticipatory Anxiety?
My anxiety has been horrendous for 4.5 weeks now after having a panic attack out of the blue. I've suffering from 2 different obsessive/intrusive thoughts that are causing my anxiety right now (If it wasn't for those thoughts I think I'd be okay).
But it's like as soon as I'm not anxious my mind suddenly goes "Oooo you're not anxious!" & BAM the anxiety re-appears. I'm constantly checking myself to see if I'm anxious.. Almost like something is wrong if I'm not anxious? :wacko: & When I'm not feeling anxious my mind will chuck an obsessive thought in my head just to see how I react... :wacko:
I seem to be getting equally anxious over basically nothing rather than just anxious over my obsessive thoughts/thinking. I'm really struggling to 'override' it.
Also, I normally get a taxi to work & I now tend to feel queezy in the taxi (a combo of travel sickness & feeling anxious anyway) so now I'm getting anxious over the thought of being anxious in the taxi... :doh:
My first session of CBT is on Thurs though, thankfully!
