My anxiety is so bad that I am.imagining all these horrible bad scenarios of things that are going to happen to me. I'm always sure something really bad is going to happen to me and that I will feel really awful. Trouble is im already feeling awful as though it has happened because I keep reliving it in my mind

Its unbearable
I hate the feelings I'm getting when the thoughts spin round my head over and over repeating

I feel shame dispair and panic as well as self loathing and wanting to hide under my dovet and never come out .

But nothings even happened yet and maybe it never will. I'm on edge waiting for this bad thing to happen and I worry that because I'm thinking about it so much it will actually make it come true !!!!!

How do I make the anxiety go away ? Is there away to make it stop ? Or am I having psycic visions and something bad will really happen and the way I feel will be justified ?

Help help help plz 😫😫😫

youre welcome sweetie.
#3 mindfulness box is things like for your senses touch , taste , smell and anything that will be a diversion for you .
# 4 Guided imagery = you imagine yourself in a pleasant place in your mind to keep your focus away from your anxiety

# 11 STOP technique you use this one whenever you feel anxious or overwhelmed you say the word STOP then three deep breaths in and three breaths out thinking of your pleasant place or something funny to distract your mind off the anxiety provoking moment

Thank you for this! Also, fluoxetine and aromatherapy have been helpful to me
