ever get this feeling?

Post Reply New Topic

It's hard to describe. It's a feeling of dread and panic just all of a sudden. It last only half a second but it tends to linger like "what made me feel like that? Must've been something" so I'm all worried like something bad is about to happen or there's some impending situation that's going to be uncomfortable.

Also, I get this feeling like something if very wrong and I don't know what to do. I invariably say to myself, "what am I gonna do now?" It's as if I have a mild panic attack over nothing. Nothing's changed, everything's copacetic and status-quo and there's nothing to worry about yet that feeling persists for a few minutes and kinda goes away except for the lingering after-effect.

Think I have anxiety issues or something?

Oh, I first noticed the "what am I gonna do now" feeling when I was 12. I think I was on Ritalin and I'm pretty sure it is what caused it. I was at a boy scout jamboree and I couldn't sleep. I got out of the tent and I think I started to cry and crossed my arms and asked, "what do I do now?". The next night, they had me sleep in the infirmary.

ohhh I get worried over nothing
though a lot of times bad things do happen-though not what I planned
I know what you mean I go threw the same too

I have this as well, the best guidance I can give you is that the answers are within you, try keeping dream diary or track of things that "speak " to you visually, through sound and sensation - you will word it out

Yeah, in my experience I had them bad a teenager, I would never enter a room late, I would stand out in the hall, stand there in fear of having to go in like I was stepping into my own excution, or something, still have them at times... sometimes it happens for no reason at all, and other times, say I've had some good days, then I have this negitivity storm of flash backs, where I picture people being nasty and I was just to happy to notice.
