So lately I've been having these weird "anxiety-type attacks". Let me give you a few examples: I was doing the dishes the other day and turned on the garbage disposal and then had this terrible picture of my hand in the disposal. Another example is that I don't like to stand by my bed with the lights out because I am afraid something is going to grab me. I don't like to go into our basement anymore because I am afraid. It is like these irrational fears. I know I am being stupid, but I still get freaked out. I have always had these random fears but they seem to be getting worse and more debilitating. The other week our coffee machine started grinding for no reason and freaked me out, which is contributing to my fears. I am on Wellbutrin for depression and take Arabien on and off for insomnia. Is this anxiety or is this some sort of paranoia? I guess I could go see my psyschiatrist, but I am kind of hoping it will go away.
 
It sounRAB like it because your thinking too much of the fear of what will happen next. I do that alot because I always worry.
 
I have similar fears, you just have to simply face them and know that these things arent real and are just your mind playing tricks on you. Also anxiety is most always caused by something deeper that could be bothering you, think of looking within to figure out what the root of the anxiety may be. Also a good little motto for me is "the body cannot stay in a perminant state of anxiety" anxiety always passes just ride the roller coaster until its time to get off, the attacks will go away with time, hopfully. Hope i could be of help

Right now I am having anxiety - I will never get rid of it but I do recognize when it comes and hits me. I hate drugs myself because I can't take them but some people have to take them. I do meditation, walking or some type of exercise, I have a book of positive affirmation that I read everyday. I focus on the positive. When a bad thought enters my mind I chase it out with positive thoughts. I use workbooks from the book stores and there are so many. Check out your local hospital - they do free support groups. The nuraber one killer now is depression and anxiety it is no longer heart attacks. So the resources out there are endless. I depend on Deepak - he is excellent with his books and other resources. This will take a lot of time but you have to work on it everyday.
 
This is so true!!! Mine eventually goes away because I don't focus on it anymore. Just know that it will pass.
