It keep thinking that I am going to 'lose control'. That I am going to lose control of my thoughts and actions - turn into some kind of psychotic mad man and loose control of my actions and hurt somebody or develop Tourette's and start shouting out expletives. Part of my diagnosis is severe painic disorder and GAD so I guess it's just the anxiety manifesting itself. Well, that's what I hope anyway.
