I have been feeling a bit frustrated with myself (or my psyche anyway) lately.


Whenever I am faced with a trigger or a situation that may lead me to panic, I do my utmost to try and keep my thoughts logical and calm. I try to think in a 'non-emet' way, and to get on with things.


But for some reason, even if my conscious mind is ok, my sub-conscious seems to go ahead with creating panic symptoms in my mind and body. I start all my little habits of teeth-clenching, swallowing, chewing gum etc. I also squeeze my stomach in a lot (to check for inner pain) and I poke it.


When this is happening, no matter HOW MUCH i tell myself that I haven't eaten anything bad, I haven't come into contact with anyone who is ill, or been anywhere that I could've picked up germs, my sub-conscious will not be convinced and continues to produce panicky symptoms.


I just wanted to know if anybody else has this battle with their 'logical'conscious mind and their irrational and illogical sub-conscious mind?? Or is it just me???[img]smileys/smilies_12.gif[/img]
