Do you get scared/freaked out of silly little things?

Post Reply New Topic

I'm not sure if this is due to my anxiety disorder or not, but I seem to get very freaked out by things. For example, once I was in a big building and the fire alarm went off, and there was a monotone voice on a tape thing coming from nowhere and everywhere saying ''please exit the building. Do not use any lifts. Please exit the building. Do not use any lifts.....'' and so on. That really scared me! Just the thought of the monotone voice continuing when all the people are out of the building, and if there was a fire the voice will still be going until the fire burns it and it stops.......it really scared the s**t out of me, and I kept on thinking about it for about a week after that, and I slept with my head under the covers each night for a week, because it just kept playing in my head. The worry faded away after a week, and I soon forgot about it. (Although I don't like fire alarms either, but I'm not talking about sensory issues here. It's more based on strange emotions, with a bit of supernatural thrown in).

Anyone else experience something little, and it freaks you out for a week after that? Or is it just because I'm a wimp?

I used to be like that but my anxiety issues have gotten a lot better than what they were; I can kind of block it out now. I don't think it makes you a wimp Joe90 but I'm oddly attracted to girls like that. My ex was probably a lot worse than you are. I got a call, text or message from her at least every couple days because she was very scared & freaked out by something

I can't stand the sight of hair strands laying around. It grosses me out.

I was freaking out at the thought of being alone after my best friend left my place to go home, sooner than usual this evening. I had all of these thoughts running through my mind. I was dwelling on the fact that things didn't go well in Vancouver, last night. I was also thinking about issues that I was dealing with, this spring. I was also thinking about how vulnerable I look without glasses or my hair spiked, which is a positive thing. I was also thinking about if my supervisor was going to call back or not. I've decided that I would get a lot more accomplished posting on WP, working on my art and listening to The Kinks.

I used to as a child now I usually have more control... though I get overwhelmed I don't shutdown totally.

My daughter's the same. I've got loads of long hair and there are always a few strands on the bathroom floor. She freaks out when she sees them.
