I was just wondering if anyone else is like me. Most of the selp help books I have give examples of anxious thoughts as phrases, like "I'm going to panic I know it" and phrases to counteract that with such as "It is just anxiety, it will pass". I find it hard to help myself because most of my anxious thoughts occur as images in my mind, like I will picture myself standing in a shop panicking, like a visual moving image in my head.
I tend to think like this generally alot though I do think in words as well but I think very much in pictures and images more often.
I'm starting to wonder if I am a bit odd and am the only one that does this?
Posting a poll to see what comes up!
Also, does anyone else find that when they are highly anxious they can be quite agressive and snappy verbally towards people. I find that if I'm very stressed I can snap at people and keep telling them they don't have a clue what its like, I suppose I feel angry that they can feel normal and I can't :(
