Totally. I actually developed a tic from nervously jerking my body as a way of distracting myself from thoughts that if they continued down the train of thinking I was on, I would feel an irrational fear that it would somehow kill me or drive me crazy. One time I broke my hand slamming it down on the edge of a bathroom counter trying to distract myself from thoughts I was sure I couldnt stand.
Nowadays, I find I dont have those type of thoughts as much (though physical and psychological stress definitely increase the frequency of them) and not as extremely for sure, but I still can't quite bring myself to challenge the fear that if I dont move restlessly, something unbearable will happen to me.
This makes falling asleep at night hard since sometimes I keep turning over and over to try and avoid continuing a thought. It also comes up whenever I am in a situation where I know I should not be moving around a lot, like in a class, or in a meeting where people are still. My need to move in order to not think something "dangerous" is compulsive and mostly I do it before I even realize I have started doing it. Once it starts it can get really horrid.
It used to be worse though. When I first got panic disorder, most of my panic attacks were caused by beliefs that I would cease to exist or drop dead if I thought about (fill in the blank) for another instant. Talk about freaking out. To this day it's hard for me to believe it wasnt a real danger even though it sounds totally crazy because I didnt even know what panic attacks were back then, so I was still really used to taking my thoughts very seriously at that time. -

my own thoughts can be my worst enemy. if i give myself time to think about stuff i tend to over worry. -

I, too, have scary thoughts. Sometimes a bad thought will cross my mind. I'll worry about going crazy. I'll even imagine the cops coming out to try to calm me down and catch me to haul me away. Sometimes I get scared that I'll hurt someone or do something really stupid or embarrasing. Does anyone else have these kinds of crazy thoughts?
