Hi i am trying to acept that my awful thoughts are part of anxiety , one thing i find hard to grasp is that many have said its not the actual irrational thought that is scaring me but my reaction to it as to me it does seem to be the thought content especially when it gets more convincing and goes from what if to i am making me believe it.
I'm finding it really difficult to let the thought be there as i panic straight away but if i keep practising will it get easier, if my reaction to the thought changes and fear eases down does that mean i will still be plagued by them even when i've done that or do they then leave us alone. Can anyone enlighten me on this, i did have about an hour today when i felt a bit calmer and thoughts weren't so bad but i don't want that to be as good as it gets, take care and thanks, Carol.
