GAD

April 28, 2009

I question with a nervous, sheepish laugh, that I don’t know why I do these things to myself.

I woke up this morning, transfixed in a semi-state of panic, washed by a wave of feverish anxiety almost, at the abrupt realization that I forgot that a possible bias in thinking and reasoning of Generalized Anxiety Disorder is:

The over-estimation of threat/danger of the situation at hand, and an under-estimation of the ability to cope.

Sigh, talk about over-catastrophizing.

And they say, that it is a thin, fine line between sanity and insanity, normalcy and abnormality.

I can say I believe it now.
