Has anyone had a scary thought that scared you so bad that you were scared of everthing you thought? I had a scary thought and eversince then i have been scared to think and everthing that enters my mind thats not even scary seems to scare me. It makes me feel so out of control or like Im going to lose my mind. I have extreme fear of mental and physical illness.

Robin,

I have alot of obsessive thoughts about my health. I witnessed the death of my mom, and ever since I have been terribly afraid of dying, even thugh I am a Christian. I know I shuldn't be afraid becaise I'm going to heaven, but I think since I was there when it happened, it was so traumatic to me and has given me this fear. Since then I have had a few health issues of my own which just adds to the anxiety. I am in week 3 of the program, and I have made such great progress. I have been able to talk my way down from several anxiety attacks, which before I would've ended up in the emergency room. Keep up the program, it will help. Aldo, never forget to pray and God will help you too. Good luck and God bless. Lori

YES! I just had a baby via Csection 6 weeks ago and my blood pressure was very high a week postpartum. That kicked off my scar thoughts. I have been obsessed that I am going to be severely ill and hospitalized and be taken away from my baby and die. I since then have developed (seemingly) white coat high blood pressure, where my blood pressure is only high at the dr. office. At home it is normal 90% of the time. Does anyone know if anxiety can in fact cause BP to rise? I guess part of me questions whether or not it is in fact my anxiety or if it is an underlying illness.

I just had a scary thouths today like I am going
crazy and nothing will pull me from there, but deep in the heart there is help. I try some of the program technics and it worked.
I just had to remember very hard that confusion
passes quickly. You are not the only one with
these thoughts. The fact than I am writing this now it's a proof it gos away. We are strong, stronger than we think!!! Moonlightsage

Hi there. I think I know how you are feeling. My husband always tells me that I am anxious about being anxious. Meaning, I'm not really anxious about one specific thing, I'm just kind of afraid of my thoughts, afraid of going crazy, afraid of being anxious..etc. It's kind of hard to explain but it's like a vicious circle and very frustrating. Sometimes I wish I had one specific scary thought so I could deal with that! But one thing I can say is...it does always pass! It has went away for me many, many times and it will for you too just relax and float with it until it goes away. Try not to let the thoughts scare you. Sorry if I'm not alot of help, but sometimes it makes me feel better just to know I'm not alone!

Hi:Thank you for replying. I am so sress right
now. Felling like I crossed to some other side
some other me. I just want to be happy, not to
be afraid of next moment, and sometimes want the
moment to pass quickly. Just don't know what to
do.It's like glass at front of me, I see what's
behind but I can,t get there.Writing this e-mail
helps but what's next. Moonlightsage
