I know in detail now what my anxiety symptoms are. My therapist has suggested I treat the symptoms like the simple annoyance of a headache/tummy ache etc to try not to attach the fear of panic to them. When I get a symptom I tend to analyze it, worry about it and the cycle continues.

Has anyone got any tips of changing my fear of my own body's ability to scare me? :weep: The ones that upset me the most are catching my breath, lump in throat, burning feeling in throat, dizziness, depersonalisation, the what if thoughts of panic and pain in temples. I don't have many panic attacks-I just spend alot of time worrying about having one/what people will think/losing my mind.

Thanks
