Lol hun if you think "I hope I don't get anxious today" then you are going to become anxious well I do anyway. X

I feel like that, it's like a tight band around my head.
awww yeah thinking i hope i don't get anxious is pretty much gonna make you anxious.
see your brain can't process that sentence without imagining you being anxious.
a better thought is to think i hope i can stay calm :-)

its the head thing that scares me most coz i cant think straight and can feel all the muscles around my face and stuff... the only way i can get rid of it is by sleepin! any1 have any tips to ease it? xx

I get a funny feeling in my head (I think I'm having a stroke) as well when I panic, I also worry about having panic attacks everyday and sure enough, I have panic attacks everyday.

I always find that when I say this to myself i feel anxious straight away. When I said this to my therapist she said it's anticipatory anxiety, worrying about worrying which can bring anxiety on.
