lost in the wild irrational thoughts


19 years ago 0 387 logo logo logo logo logo logo logo logo logo logo 0
I get a lot of irrational thoughts, too. Remember that they are just thoughts. We have seriously over active imaginations, which fuels our panic like a bonfire. You are not going crazy! If you were, you wouldn't know it. Sometimes, I think, how nice it must be to be blissfully unaware of your insanity. ;p But seriously, just remember that these are only thoughts and because you know that they are irrational thoughts, you subconsciously are aware of that already. You may not feel like it, but you are. You'll be ok - I promise! It just takes time and a lot of self talk. You are stronger than you feel - I promise!!!

Does anybody have this one? I have started working through my irrational thoughts and over the years this one has popped up, when I have it I feel very anxious. I get lost away from civilization and then fall ill with an illness of some kind or have an accident that prevents me getting away or helping myself. The kind of illness often varies but there seems to be a common theme of loosing control. Any ideas?
