I've just developed a hefty dose of fear this evening and it's very horrible. Having been prone to this for the last number of years (thank you hormones, and more lately perimenopause) it's not unusual, but I have been more settled recently and feeling more regulated. Due to a combination of exercise and magnesium glycinate to help sleeping.
I think it's been triggered as we're due to switch mortgage in next few weeks and I was looking for all the life assurance policies etc. I know we have these in place (like, I'm looking at them now), but for some reason I've an irrational fear that something is wrong and I've dropped the ball and we haven't the right processes set up. This isn't new, when I spiral like this I do have unfounded and intrusive thoughts, but as I was feeling better recently they've hit me that bit harder tonight.
So, anyone who has experienced similar, what do you do to break the thinking cycle? And get away from feeling so fearful?
(Sorry for the long winded explanation above, just to give context to where this started from).
