Hi :)
I find that I get anxious thoughts/panicky when I see other people who are ill. I saw on facebook once a girl I knew from primary school was having a serious operation and it made me feel anxious. Not long after, I had a high anxiety/panic 'episode'.
It sounds silly, but my neighbour's cat (who acts like he's my cat!) was in my garden yesterday and kept retching and struggling to breathe. It made me panic and got my heart pounding and it has shook me up. I was worried also that he might have something stuck in his throat and that made me anxious as I get high anxiety about choking although I did manage to eat all my tea last night so I'm doing good. I guess I'm worried that seeing him retching may trigger off my anxiety about choking again. I know we can control our thoughts and control the panic, but it still makes me worry that the fear will come back.
Does anyone else get this?
Many thanks, :)
