feeling strange!!!!!!!!

[edgetop]

for a while now i have been having strange feelings when i go out i think a dog or cat is going to get run over,it makes my heart go really fast,also if i am in the car with my dh & my ds i think something is going to hit us,for some of the time i close my eyes.i know it may sound funny but it,s really getting to me some nights i find it hard to sleep,my mind is going through things that have gone on during the day,i don,t know whats the matter with me,i have a good dh& a ds to be proud of.i have lots of other feelings simler to the ones i have talked about.dose anyone else have same feelings

Edgetop - I get this too. Sometimes at work I get awful thoughts about ds and dd. Then I have to phone the Nursery. I sometimes get vivid flashes in my mind of us all dying in a crash. Horrible.

I suppose it's anxiety attacks of a sort. Reallydon't know what to say to help.

have i ever got any help from gp,i,m thinking of going because it,s starting to put me off going out.

It could be panic attacks or anxiety attacks, or it could be a form of OCD, particularly if you have other similar feelings or if you have rituals that you use. I think it might be worth having a chat with the GP about it, he might be able to recommend some form of counselling or other treatment to help.

i wonder why this has started at the age of 44 and when im quite happy

If it's something like OCD or panic attacks, they don't only affect people who are depressed. I have OCD and it didn't come on until I was in my 30s, and at a time when I was at my happiest.

It's obviously causing you some distress, though, and a sympathetic counsellor might be able to find the root cause and help you to deal with it.
