I hope you talk to your T about this and I hope you find a resolution soon.  |
Thank you so much for your reply! I think you are right - I always tend to panic and then worry that I am losing my memory, mind... etc... etc... (catastrophic thought - here here?).
It's funny - as I am a training therapist, but I always tend to find it difficult to recognize my own fears and worries!
I grew up in a very hypercriticial environment - hence to this day, I worry about "messing things up for everyone" - and I think as much as I think about this, the more hypersensitive I become of my surroundings.
It was always a bit of a worry with my moods - when I am a bit manic, this doesn't seem to occur. It only occurs in my depressed periods. However, my moods fluctuate more and more - and then I think that GAD still may not be the correct diagnosis for my presentation of symptoms...
