Is This a Type of Anxiety Or Is This Normal? Posted: 09-05-06 16:32pm
I’m not sure if my thoughts are normal
or not. I know everyone may experience
some type of fear but I go through it 24/7
and it’s making me go crazy. My brain
is consistently thinking that something
horribly wrong will happen to my family or
even me. I can’t stand that I think too
much into detail. I worry about every
single little detail on stupid normal
daily routines. I fear death and have
horrible thoughts come to mind throughout
the day. If I go to the grocery store I
think everyone is watching and talking
about me. I could be working or watching
my boys play and all of a sudden I would
have a horrifying thought of my family or
myself getting hurt and will start to cry.
That can’t be normal. What does this
sound like to you? Please any
thoughts/suggestions will help me a great
deal.
Thanks!

Sounds like obsessive compulsive disorder.
Everyone has a little bit of ocd, but
sometimes it invades your life. Try
reading up on it at psychcentral.Com or a
similar website. When those thoughts
invade your mind, turn it into something
positive. Imagine yourself as the hero.
Sometimes it stems from insecurity. Your
md can help you on your road too.

It does sound like anxiety and ocd. Why
don't you try and join a cbt group. It
will teach you how to keep things in
perspective and learn how not too worry so
much.
