I was wondering if anyone gets awful scary thoughts of

something terrible happening to you. I used to get them

really bad but it's been getting better. It still happens but

I pray when it does. I would be so scared to be alone or

go somewhere by myself I used to be so scared 😳 when

I went to the hair salon 💇🏽 I wouldn't let my husband leave

me there alone just because I was afraid something would

happen to me and no one would help me. Is this normal?

    I'm so glad I found someone else experiencing this same thing during this tough time. I've been having this problem already for about a month. I pray too.

    hi maureen, yes I had these scary thought for months on end.  I hated going into shops alone because I always felt I was having a heart attack when my palpitations would start,  or something serious wrong with my head when a random headache would start.  Not nice.  And they are uncontrollable feelings of anxiety and were completely out of character for me.  Your husband will need to be with you for a while longer but thankfully these feelings go away, mine have and I can now go most places alone and even though I still get random symptoms they are not near as scary as they were before.  hang in there.
