Hi Gmoon, The human mind is amazing we can dream of great and breath taking adventures, i used to do
a lot of flying, not with a plane but like a bird, but we can think of real scary things too, sometimes we dont have to think about it it just flashes through our mind, what you are describing reminds me of my episodes of depersonalization i use to have, nothing seemed real to me but the same old fear! "It always drifted back to my fear that this time i had something that was going to kill me". It didnt but you would have had a hard time convincing me of that back then. Yes Mam over 40 years ago and i am still here, if i had anything real wrong with me it would have killed me long ago. This is going to pass for you, yes it will and you will wonder why did i have that, dont wast too much time dwelling on what you cant change, just change what you can. I was taught years ago that "feelings are not facts". the first thousand times i heard that it made no since to me, now i understand, my doctor once hooked me up to the latest electronic devices in the middle of a grand mall panic attack, i kept saying doc your wasting time i'm dying, when he got me all hooked up and flipped the switch, he looked at the machine, he said Larry your right your dying, this scared the hell out of me, then he chuckled and said but this machine says it will be another 50 years at least! Mam if our mind can scare us it can be trained to comfort us also. If what you
are thinking is causing you grief then find something to think of that will distract your conscious thoughts
I think Mindfulness is a good start, Peace, Larry ***
