Dealing with panic

I have a problem. When good things start happening with me, I panic a lot. I know this sounds weird. But it's true. I feel like- what if I lose it all? What if the good thing just vanishes away like a dream fleeing on the wings of imagination.... Eventually, all the ways that could lead to a fiasco come to my mind. And this is how I am unable to enjoy my moment. I know this is not a sound reason to have panic... but I can't help it. I try to live in the present and not invite the negative thoughts... Do you panic? If yes, what are those stimuli that make you panic?

I truly can understand your train of thought. Sometimes you wonder if a good thing will charge you back. It happens to me too but mostly I panic more when I run low on money or with relationship matters.

I don't think too much so I won't panic. I make sure to enjoy the moment.

I'm sorry you panic in this way. I don't really know what to say to help. Maybe some self-help books would be useful.

Yes. May be I need to gain more confidence and live in the present or just live with it.

I had same experience,i also panicked when good things came to me before.then i explore the root of the problem,i realized the root of panic is you haven't met good things for too long,so you just lost confidence.you didn't think you will possess good things.The keypoint is confidence,just strengthen your confidence,believe that you are qualified to get good things,then everything will be ok.come on,retrieve your confidence soon.

You are right. I hadn't met good things for a long time so I have just lost confidence.

@Dreamerby ,take heart,you should believe a person won't suffer bad luck forever,likewise,a person won't have good luck forever.Eventually one day you will have good luck,just catch it.Luck and chance came to everyone by turns.I always had this belief,so when chance came to me,i caught it without hesitation.Believe you will have good luck one day,make enough preparation at ordinary time.Once luck came to you,you can catch it.

I panic but not in a situation like this.Ask yourself this Do you deserve this good thing happening to you?Don't overthink it and take it day by day.So enjoy your fruits of labour for the time being.No one ever know what the future holds is all I can say.
