Then this thought or image got replayed in your mind                   over and                                    over again                                                       no matter what you did… You don’t want these thoughts – it feels like an avalanche… Along with the thoughts come intense feelings of anxiety… Anxiety is your brain’s warning system.  When you feel anxious, it feels like you are in danger.  Anxiety is an emotion that tells you to respond, react, protect yourself, DO SOMETHING!
