Bizarre anxieties

[Neuro]

Recently I've been getting scared of the universe, pertaining to its stability and the stability of the components of said universe. It's bizarre, I know, because there is nothing to indicate that the universe is unstable....but I still get a feeling of wild panic whenever I think about it.
I'm soon to be seeing a mental health professional, but until then I'm just terrified.....if anyone happens to know anything reassuring, then I'd really appreciate it.
It's a strange concern and I'd be interested to know if it bothers anyone else.

Anxieties are not bizarre to the sufferer - we all have our own unique thoughts and worries. Your anxiety is the kind my oldest son would think about - he takes a great interest in the universe and all it's goings on. There are professors who actually delve into all these details, so no, please don't think it's bizarre - at least you are taking an interest in the planet. Of course take an interest but try not to stress yourself too much about it. You sound like a pretty clever person to me!!:)

Hi Neuro

I wouldn't in any way see this as a bizarre anx. I know a lot of anx seems to be based around everyday life events, so that something like this seems a little 'out there'. My worst anx is always about these 'big issues', meaning of life, nature of suffering, the concept of infinity etc. But the process whereby everyday thoughts and 'big' thoughts become huge anxieties is the same. Put any thought through an oversensitised nervous system and it will come out with demons hanging out of it. Calm the nervous system, calm the thought.

Wishing you peace and solice
