Hi Nurseboy, I've often felt in the past that by being overly aware of my symptoms and panic/anxiety disorder that I end up obsessing over them and watching out for every little twinge or increase in heartbeat etc. I found from the minute I woke up I was on high alert for any tiny little thing that related to my disorder. I know its a hard thing to try to ignore all the little things when thats what you're used to doing but I also, personally, feel that this disorder can make you get into the habit of obessing over it and it being the only thing thats left in your life - the disorder becomes your life. Its a bit hard to put into words what I'm trying to say but basically there is more to life than this - the trick is remembering that in the middle of a panic attack! :)
Yesterday i had lots of general anxiety. this morning i had lots of panic and ocd compulsions (counting the letters in words when i read). this afternoon i feel ver depressed. do i have hyperawareness or what? is anyone else like this?
