Is this anxiety

My anxiety usually manifests in this constant feeling that I've done something wrong, it's not your usual physical anxiety symptoms, more like mental uncomfort, obsessive thinking ect.

I'm doing a lot of work on this, working on self esteem, positive affirmations ect and generally it's helping but not rock solid, the tiniest thing can throw me off but I'm learning to work through everything as it comes up.

My latest thing is this and I'm trying to work out if it is actually me that's the problem. I shared a thing on Facebook that I agree with, got lived experience ect but someone I know has commented opposing it, so I politely replied a couple of times outlining my reasons and it's really riled me up so I've just stopped but now a couple of days later I'm thinking I should never have opened my mouth, just shouldn't voice my opinions in anything and I've probably caused problems with this other person because I have an opinion on something. I hate this feeling

People have different interpretations of the same thing all the time. I think this is your anxiety kicking in.

This sounds like anxiety to me. Have you ever lived without it? If you have- how would you have felt about someone having opposing views to you previously?

Having lived without anxiety for a very long time I am now occasionally able to help myself by making myself think how I would feel about a situation before I began to suffer. I usually find it helps.

This sounds like ocd to me.

Well I've woke up today with what feels like a complete sea of calm, the madness in my mind has vanished, good in a way but I'm also thinking what the fuck was happening to me this past week. Ive actually started another thread on this today.

This Facebook post wasn't the only thing I was obsessing over, I kept getting grand ideas all hitting me at once and thought I was getting messages from God about people and was seeing things in people that no one else can see 🤔

No that I'm calm this Facebook thing really isn't a big deal but I think there's something wrong with me.

This isn't the first time I've woke up one day and realised I've just came out of some sort of episode where everything is magnified by a thousand
