Little post today. But wanted to highlight another off-shoot from one of PD’s anxiety non motor symptoms which is catasrophizing. It is really scary when it strikes. For me it manifests when minor physical things occur – a twinge quickly becomes something serious in my head and then the panic sets in. I have to be really tough with myself to bring the anxiety down and feel in control again. I find this behaviour accelerates when I am stressed or tired. I now recognise when these these thoughts intrude to take care of myself a bit better emotionally and physically. It also really helps to talk to someone about your fears as well. Don’t be afraid of expressing your thoughts. The more we talk the more we can cope with PD and the better those around can support us on this journey.
Thanks for reading and have a great day.
