I seem to exaggerate every thing way out of proportion in my head. I have just had a small row with my fiance, nothing serious, but i know she is getting on with her day an the row is forgotten, while im here wanting to end the whole thing. my head is all over the place i feel like wreckin the place. my heads is trobbing from getting myself worked up with anxiety and i am hating her for me being like this. I am having crazy thoughts like drinking even though im sober 4 years and suicidle thoughts anything to stop my head.

I experience the same until I get it out. So I do a journal. I hate to write, so I type on the computer. Sometimes I even print it out for others to read. Like when my husband and I have a disagreement, instead of having a conversation with him where I can be interupted, lose my train of thought, or forget something I really want to be said, I have him read what I'm feeling and then he can respond. A lot of times though, I just type it and don't print it, I just need to get my feelings out of my head. Luckily, I can type fairly fast and aggressively so it helps to get it out faster and harder... Then I feel better...

Bit of a problem that hyper-focusing on a issue or thought of no real significance. After a while it becomes all consuming and blown right out of proportion. Start devising strategies to occupy you're attention, games, books, home duties etc. Try to avoid confrontation. I know at the time impulses take over and you will have no self-control. We never seem to learn from our mistakes. When you can see confrontation use what self-control you still have and vanish.

Sounds like me! Take your thoughts to a better place.... your favorite place to relax. Kinda have to retrain the bumps in your brain. Make them go down a different road. Good luck. Congradulations on the 4 years sober!!!!! I also would like to take that drink sometimes, but know it would just make things tonz worse. Hang in there!

Hi, I'm hypersensitive a lot--even to the point of being a little paranoid at times. I find the best thing is to talk to God about it first, then a couple of freinds and vent but not too long--just get stuff out of my system . Just don't isolate. God bless.
