Most of my anxiety is centred around my health. I generally freak myself out at the slightest sniff or twinge.
But lately, I have been stressing myself out with thoughts of extreme situations, that I know will probably never arise.
For instance, I have a real fear of somebody stealing my details via the internet and using them for something un-toward. It realy scares me. So much, that I try to reign back my use of the net as much as I can. I worry about my wife when she travells home from work, often my mind spirals off into all sorts of horrible scenarios when she is 15 or 20 minutes late. I then have to hide any trace of anxiety when she arrives home (safe and sound as normal)
These are just a couple of instances, but it feels as if my mind is trying to constantly scare itself to death. And it wont accomodate any possibility of 'good thoughts'. Please dont misunderstand, I'm not thinking of harming myself or such like, but this constant barage of negativity is really beginning to erode my resolve, confidence and happines.
Any thoughts would be very welcome indeed.
