It is nice to know I am not alone (that at minimum is comforting) — I too have bad anxiety which I thought I had conquered but recent stress has brought it to the surface. I didn’t really think many people understood “crazy thoughts.” One thinks these crazy thoughts but past experience has proven that not many (any really) were acted on in my experience — one book I read said “you are not your thoughts” which I try to keep reminding myself. I kept trying many things to get rid of these thoughts, accupuncture, aruveydic medicine, yoga, and meditation, self-help books, mindfulness techniques. I guess I’m still learning/mastering and am disappointed I don’t have things under control. Taking progenycoach’s advice and will read the book by Weekes. Thank you. Any other advice is welcome.
