I am totally affected by strong emotions. I like to think it is because I am super empathetic and have an above average imagination. I'm not being conceited in this, I just mean that when I hear about something horrible or read about something that illicits (sp?) sympathy or anger or sadness I can totally imagine how that person or other must feel or how I would feel in a similar situation or what if that (whatever it is) happened to my family/self/friends. I think I genuinely empathize which causes me to feel strong emotion which, for some reason, triggers anxiety.
I try to deal with this by distracting myself when I can by doing something else or by remembering something really great ... also by, like Rose said, avoiding things that will obviously insight my emotions. ie: tonight their was a "Dateline" interview on TV called "A Touch of Satan" now that would be something for me to avoid. Of course I didn't and voila! it was really creepy and now I am anxious.
I'm sorry I'm not more help ... good luck

Bob I can absolutely relate to what you are feeling. I don't read the paper or watch the news because it brings on strong emotion and then my mind translates that into anxiety. For example if it's regarding death I always begin to have negative thoughts about my own mother's death (one of the triggers of panic for me)and I start a downward spiral of chest pains and racing heart. I seem to think that what happened to her is going to happen to me. I also dwell on my feelings of when my family and I were involved in the funeral process and how sad I was. I can't even watch a movie or tv show that is emotionally charged or frightening because of my fear of emotion getting the best of me. I don't know what to do about it but I did want you to know you aren't alone...I feel the same way.
Take care of you

Hi, I'm wondering if anyone in this forum can relate to anxiety due to difficult emotions. I can go through a day feeling pretty good...and then suddenly, like today, I'll read something or hear something that makes me sad/angry/overwhelmed. Today I read an article about someone describing the passing of his father. I'm anxious, worried, and not quite sure what it is. I really have a hard time with strong emotions. I try and tell myself that it's ok, difficult emotions are a part of life, but I still get this sense of fear and sadness that I can't shake. Why am I so afraid to be sad? To experience emotions? Can anyone relate to this??
