Re: Random Negative Thoughts
Hi Tanya
I'm too feeling like this at the moment. I am putting it down to it being Christmas and lots going on.
My mind races and I worry my anxiety/depression is getting worse again. I just want to shut myself away from everything and everyone.
I'm hoping it is just a phase that will pass - your not alone
Re: Random Negative Thoughts
Thank you for replying. It is comforting to know there's others out there the same. I feel so tired and overwhelmed. Now waiting for my shopping to be delivered then I've got to pack it all away!! Then bed!

Re: Random Negative Thoughts
Your not alone. I feel tired all the time too. I get uptight and wound up at simple jobs that I normally wouldnt think twice about at the moment.
I'm sure it will pass - coming on here reassures me that I'm not alone and things do get better
Re: Random Negative Thoughts
Ur definatly not alone.i have these thoughts every:weep:day
Re: Random Negative Thoughts
Hey Tanya,
You sound similar to me! I've learnt that the bad thoughts you talked about that I also experienced are called catastrophising. I've been working dam hard on getting on top of all this poxy anxiety and feel that I could be winning so far - as you said, once you know you can beat it, next time round it should be that much less difficult to do again....

Re: Random Negative Thoughts
Definately a better day today! No anxiety at all! How weird, sometimes I think I've been taken over by aliens or something!!?

Re: Random Negative Thoughts
Hi Tanya,
Yes, ‘catastrophising’, as happycamper very aptly put it :winks:
Something you could try if you ever find yourself troubled by thoughts like that is to ask yourself questions like:Has it ever happened before?
How likely is it to happen now?
The answers to questions like those can help get things back into perspective again.
Take care :)

Re: Random Negative Thoughts
Yeah, it's interesting, never heard it called catastrophising before! I do it loads when I'm feeling anxious but the worst thing for me is feeling light headed! A couple of years ago it ruined my christmas as I convinced myself I'd got a brain tumour after Googling!! Finally plucked up the courage to go to my doctor and it was anxiety brought on by PTSD! This was 2007 and I've been off Prozac since April this year so I'm not letting it beat me!!
