Pls leave some space so that other members too can write some suggestion. Anyway it is a good proof to tell, you are suffering from anxiety. Does it sounds anything to you. Yes, it is an over reaction towards something fearing for something. Am I right?

good thing if it is just controllable. Most people who suffer this cannot control their emotions. They say that its just your thinking but they are wrong. Who wants to experience this anyway, right?
