Making things up.in my mind

Hi

I have a problem were I make up scenarios in my mind of challenging situations involving people that are annoying me, and get emotional wound up about it, it's like I'm believing what I'm making up in my mind and I'm resenting the people involved more and more for thing they havent done but could potentially do. My mind never stops. Is this the anxiety or related to the ASD ?

  • I do that too, I think in part its natural disaster planing, you're testing out scenarios where these annoynaces come to a head. I know for me it's partly cPTSD too. I have to make an effort to remind myself that these things haven't happened and may never happen, I can start to control it, but it does take a lot of will power.

    What might be more useful is to think about why these people annoy you?

    Do you have to spend time around them?

    It sounds to me as though you don't feel safe around these people, why is that?
