General anxiety caused by routine day-to-day stresses usually passes quickly and is experienced by almost everyone at one time or another.

Can anxiety make a person think they have somethin

I have OCD and anxiety. I was thinking this last while can anxiety be the cause of pains etc? I have had a tingling in my nipples that come and go for a week now and I noticed if I don't obsess or keep thinking and worrying about it I don't feel anything. Yesterday for example I had no tingling at all until last night, because I started checking websites and freaking out again I felt them tingling. My obsession over this has gone through the roof. I think I'll only get peace of mind when my period comes and then I start getting fearful and overthinking again...what if my period won't come? And the tingling is still there if it does come? I always think the worst and if i try to think positive I am afraid the wort will happen. Does anyone else have those feelings?

My anxiety can and does manifest the damndest weirds into the weirdest places. Perhaps the most entertaining of my strictly personal examples is when I obsess an alien invasion into an odd flutter in the scalp beneath my thick hair. They are energy beings. . . It is their entry point through which I have unwittingly channeled the alien invasion into our planet's bio-sphere. Gee. . . Why do my shrinks accuse me of psychotic delusions?

In simpler words. . . Yes, I have those feelings.

Still. . . That alien invasion might explain allot of our global News Headlines. . .

You have described OCD well. It can do all that you have said and more. The trick is to find coping mechanisms that distract you from getting into you head too much. Easier some times better than others and when it does work remember that for the next time.

Thank you so much for responses. I never experienced my anxiety as bad as I do this last few weeks and have it taken over so to speak.

    Lately I've been feeling scared and full of anxiety. I recently found a lump under my nipple. I hurt my back too. I'm in the process of moving. I'm run down. Everything is hard

    Just wanted to give a thank you to Mid, Arfie, Malibumark, Greeneyes, Mlro, Girlincalif, and Suncloudjd! You all always have such helpful tips and advice, but I always forget to write on my posts when I see you post, lol. I would lose my head if it wasn't attached to my body, lol. Thank you all so much! I'm starting to use my AI app as a sounding board again. I used to use it as that before...
