Why this again?! Please read!

[Natalie x]

Hi. For the whole of this morning I have been having these intrusive thoughts again which has sent my anxiety through the roof. I'm feeling faint and all the 'what-if's' are popping in my head again. I'm supposed to be going chritmas shopping tonight and I'm even scared about that and thinking the worst :weep: x

Could it be that because you're worried about going shopping that you're feeling this way? I ofte get mysef worked up about going out places and then that in turn makes me feel worse.

I am having the same kind of morning Natalie.
:unsure:
I am trying to remember to breathe. relax. think positive.

I too can get myself all too easily worked up about everything - just recently I've been dealing with the "fear of the fear" by just accepting it not dwelling on it. I even go one stage further and invite a panic attack-even if I'm on the verge of one it seems to diffuse it.
This is the classic approach but it really does work
All the Best
