Hey Guys,
I have decided to do my bachelor thesis on "anxiety". I would like to create a book that shows anxiety and the different forms it plays in ones life. I deal with anxiety myself, which at times leads me to experience minor panic attacks. Often I just have weird thoughts that I can shake off quickly. Since I've started my thesis, I have created a list and realized how ridiculous some of my thoughts can be.
I would love to hear some of the thoughts that have crossed your mind throughout the day.
Here are a few of my examples:
1: Sometimes I think about the things I’ve said to others from years ago....I wish I could explain what I truly meant to say. I always wonder if they have a totally wrong impression of me. I start to think if I DID say the right thing, how much of my life would be different. (Job interviews, first dates, presentations, normal social gatherings)
2: I live on the top floor of my apartment building. It’s on the third level under the roof. I have planned every exit strategy incase of a fire break outs. One plan to save us and our dogs (one dog is a Great Dane) is to somehow gracefully toss them onto the balcony below. Only to repeat this process one more time. Nothing must can go with this plan…
3: Every time I’m about to send out an important email, I constantly double check what I wrote and over and over. Once I have (approved) clicked “send”, I start to think that maybe it didn’t actually get sent… maybe i sent it to the wrong person? Maybe the email got lost or I misspelled the email address. Once again I go back and double check my email.
4: I had a piece of paper with the address of my grandma. I had the thought that I should tear it up before throwing it away to keep her safe. If at this time I felt this was too weird, I would keep the paper just to be safe.
Thank you for your answers
