Hi Outkast yeah its the thoughts that just wont stop in my head like what if this happens or maybe i am really crazy and it just hasnt been correctly diagnosed or what if a tsnuami hits when my kids are at school how would i get to them i know it sounds crazy as i type but i have these sorts of thoughts part of my OCD i suppose and im just having a hard time trying to counteract them with positive thoughts i keep thinking worst case scenarios hope i made sense somewhat. Debbie im so glad you never had a panic today you are tired because your body is exhausted.just having anxiety all day is exhausting.Hopefully tomorrow will be even better for you.Take care. Lulu..
