Hi, this is one of the problems I've been having since my mega panic attack. I seem to pick out words all the time that scare me, or get scared at the sight of knives etc.
Most annoying is listening to the radio, every song that comes on, I find myself relating it to me and thinking its about my situation, like I'm finding too much meaning in things. Like I might feel a bit better and a song comes on about love, and i think, `yeah I'm feeling more love for myself - wait, isn't that a bit ironic?!`. Or a Beatles song was on in a music shop 'Nothing is real` - and I was scared about everything not being real. I guess these are things that you wouldn't notice if you weren't highly anxious, and if you try you can always relate everything to yourself in some way, but in this Anxious state it seems to fuel the anxiety of the whole Universe being around me. Anyone else get this?
