WHY????????????

[carli]

Hi all, why do i panic way over the top when something happens? Take just know for example my eye started to sting for no reason as if i got pepper in my eye or something and i started having a panic attack? Why does this happen. I mean loads of people must get it and they dont panic. I panic if i get an itch thats last to long of if i get a little pain of if some sensaton on my skin dont feel right. Im so fed up of this and as im writing m panicking about my eye stinging? Please help im so sick of this. xx

Hi Carli,

I know when I am anxious I kinda become hypersensitive to any sensation that happens in my body. Anything that feels unfamiliar I start to panic about. I think its just part and parcel of having anxiety. I know that as I am now house bound almost, I also have a lot more time to worry and overthink everything. Sometimes distraction helps me forget, maybe you could try doing something different to distract yourself?.

Is your eye red or inflamed? I once got some dust in my eye and scratched it and it really stung, but was fine the next day. Im sure your eye will be fine, but I know what you mean about the panic, why do we always panic when some people dont? I guess people who panic are just more sensitive than other people, doesn't mean theres anything wrong with us, its just a pain in the ass having to cope with it!! LOL!!! Are you on any meds at the moment or had any therapy?

i'd love to give you the magic potion but i think i am the worst for doing it along with most people on here we are all guilty of it and we know it
i think we have to try and live with it until our brains have had enough!
