    Talk to a therapist - understand that we all have fears, they are good because they prevent you from doing dangerous things. However, your fears are maybe a little more than that. If you're in the USA you r being bombarded with fearfull images and reports constantly. Realize that most of this stuff will never happen to you so don't worry about it. Get some help for your general anxiety disorder though, so the small fears you have will not become big ones in the future. The aqua fear makes me wonder. Could it b something in your past sparking that one?

    Either way, try not to dwell on these things but get proffessional help.

    I doubt you're attention seeking - it's probably an anxiety syndrome (perhaps General Anxiety Syndrome). You should seek medical help for those panic attacks.

  • i know this sounds harsh but i really think its pathetic when people say this howcan they just somehow get paranoid over things that they have obviously been going the same routine every day but just somehow et paranoid over them. i mean i culd understand if its somethin new urparanoid about but it sounds like your attention seeking. i suggest u should occupy yourself more instead of trying to write stoys about you that probably isnt true. no offence thats just how i see it

    Panic attacks are something you should see a doctor about. They can diagnose if you need counselling or medication etc.

    You're being too sensitive. We live are constantly assaulted by media terrorism - TV commercials constantly qualifying you for symptoms of disease so you will get on their drugs for everything including paranoia.

    An example is the commercial where a stretcher is following this guy everywhere he goes until he decides to take statin drugs for his cholesterol.

    Then you have politically charged media terrorism where you are supposed to spend your life scared to death of "terrorism" so that you can get behind some political agenda to feel safe while they brutalize everyone's country for their oil.

    Unplug and live your life.

    I know exactly what you mean. I'm really sorry. I got anxiety from my mom and it especally increased when I started smoking pot. (I quit though). Hopefully you aren't doin anything like that although pot does help anxiety for some people.
