Question: do you ever get the feeling that you 'talk yourself into' your anxiety?

[Tom1992]

I suspect I think and talk myself into the states I get into. How about you?

[Chrisi]

Yes overthinking or talking triggers them

Yep I used to talk myself into a panic attack, it would start out as a worry, and then total loss of rational thinking, can't catch my breath, you know the drill. I also learned to talk myself through one and I have prevented panic attacks. The brain is powerful, however we are in control.
