I have a problem with my thought processes?

Question

when i was younger i would get anxiety, at the time i didnt realise i was having anxiety attacks so i thought it was this wierd thing that happened from time to time when i felt funny. in lectures i started to get worried about my breathing and i felt like i would have to leave so i used to worry that there was something wrong with me and i would try to stop myself from thinking these thoughts in new situations and if they didnt come up id be pleased and thought ill be ok now if i dont think about it. well i started to get into a habit of blocking out all bad thoughts incase if i thought about it too much i might get it then & thinking they shouldnt be there if im out at a party etc. they arent related to what im doing and i realised that i wasnt listening to myself anymore by doing this and trying to keep myself focused on the situation. now im finding it very hard to let myself think about other stuff rather than what im doing and i want to just relax my mind and think automatically.

Answer 1

sounds like you need to learn to relax a little, you are getting very stressed out which can cause these symptoms you described. listen to some peaceful calm music, and learn some breathing exercises, One that I use laying still, or even if I am on the go, think in a peaceful word like "peace","calm","relax" as I breath in. when I exhale slowly think about letting go of the stress or anxiety or whatever....

so it goes like this breath in "calm" hold a second or two, exhale "tension"

if nothing else you have tried to focus your thoughts on one thing for the moment.

Answer 2

then take some classes on panic and phobia disorders, they teach you how to cope with panic disorder in a healthy manner.
