Anxiety ....caused by 'thoughts'

Anxiety ....caused by 'thoughts'

Does anyone get anxious because of 'thoughts'?
I get anxious when I have weird thoughts ....about
life and how small we are compared to the world and the Universe....I wish I could shut them off....
I wonder how people can function....some people
seem to think that nothing else exists except what we can see. eg. paying the next bill or going to the
supermarket......maybe their brain isn't wired the same way........but if you are human you must have thought of life and what does it all mean at some stage....
it gets scary if you think too much

Hello @jamesle2015, and welcome to the forum '

letting you know you are not alone my friend

overthinking is a big thing , like making a mountain out of a molehill , I have heard many times

with you thoughts are you meaning everyday things or things that we can not control ??,

Shaz51 thanks for your reply...

Both....I am agoraphobic.....and because of this I don't have any 'friends'...

If you go through my previous posts you will see ..

It is irrational I know but my brain is not 'wired' properly....

I have a problem with sunny days - it is harder to keep the 'mind' clear

I wish I didn't 'think' - it would make things easier - there are a lot of people out there

who don't seem to 'think' that is why they can go wherever they need to -

Do you do meditation or something else?
