I sat here staring at nothing for the last 10 minutes. My mind has gone blank... a little while ago I began to ponder on my life (big mistake). Thinking how if I had put the little extra effort into certain moments of my life I could have changed the things that went wrong. Well, usually when I think about those things I just sweat a little and get a hot flash, but earlier I panicked. I had my usual (but much more severe) hot flash, I couldn't breathe, and my vision was blurred. All of this scared me and I panicked even more. To be honest I don't really even know how I calmed down... I don't remember... I'm just left with the same headache that I had from earlier.

Hi Anony,

Did your mother catastrophise about things when you were growing up?

No, my mother never catastrophised about things when I was growing up (she was actually the person who helped me through the toughest times in my life)... although I did watch her suffer from depression as well. (Don't know if that's irrelevant or not(?))
