    Catastrophizing day to day things

    ok I know this about anxiety disorder - I have my period, I am stressed just with my hormones, but then there is like these hassels with just trying to get my small pathetic amount of super-annunation out where i have to get 2 medical professionals like a gp and a specialist to fill out forms that are like 6 pages long then get Justice of the Peace witnesses and signature non-sense and ID stuff for Centrelink who know more about me then I even know about me... yet its still i have to go through this just get ask can i have some money early cuz i got unexpected ill and spent heaps of medical bills...

    seriously i just need to win a huge lotto or if there was some clever lawyer out there who could fight a case for me for child sex abuse,being bashed in a workplace thing and raped by a navel officer and a car accident,

    where is any one around when i need them...


    its just a small ask... but this afternoon i am catastrophizing again.... stressing... worrying about money, how i will age and my health, bills, the weather and whatever...


    catastrophizing is just a way of life for me... my gp says i do this over things in my body with disorders he diagnoises that scare the crap out of me...

    learning to the think and feel the thought and the difference and be my own therapist from my psychologist today is stressful enough when i was so ill...


    my homework is ...


    write a 1-10 personal anxiety scale and how it feels for me at its worst at 10 and times you recall experiencing it how it felt in body what you thought and how you coped the outcome and then for each number down write how it feels to be at 9 or 8 etc to 1...

    Moved to the Frustration section, which is more suited to this type of thread.

    That homework is a good idea, and will help. I've done similar coping techniques.
