so since i had a relapse of my anxiety ive been having racing mind and random words pop into my head which as kinda made me develop a serious fear of losing my mind. any way i just wanna ask does any one or did anyone ever experience issues when trying to read literally anything where the mind just either skips words when tryna read or outrightly replaces the words then you go back and read to see it was not what u initially thought u had read? it creeps the hell out of me and makes me even feel what im actually scared of is beggining to happen.

    Yep, I get this when my anxiety is high.

    It's just another horrible anxiety symptom, don't worry x

      Yes, when my anxiety is really high I get all of those symptoms. The are hard to explain and terrifying but I have had now and again for years so I can quickly now say to myself, it's anxiety, don't panic and when you don't panic it takes less time to get back to normal.
