Event	Automatic Negative Thoughts	Corrections
Going out with my boyfriend to meet new people	This is too much trouble, these people will not like me, they will make fun of and think I am fat and stupid	These people don't even know me, how could they automatically hate me? I usually enjoy myself after I get over my intial fear, and if I don't, we can always leave a little early and come back home.
She fell asleep after coming home from a night on the town on sweetest day.	She doesn't want me. She really doesn't care. She is taking me for granted. She don't appreciate me.	She was just tired. Patience and Understanding
Making a mistake at something on my job.	You're be fired! You'll lose your apt! You won't have the money for the Car. You'll be wondering around looking!	I will not be fired! We all make mistakes! Learn from it and go on! God will provide.
Visiting with a friend.	I act strange. I look bad. I might say stupid things. I talk too much.	No stranger than many other people I encounter. I often see people dressed so inappropriately that I wonder why I judge myself so harshly. I think most of the discomfort I feel is due to my own negative thoughts and not others reactions to me. I think I would talk much less if I would accept myself because I would not be so nervous.
Dealing with the month of March, in particular, my due date.	I will slip into a deeper depression, everyone will get sick of my shit, I'm scared of feeling bad, of not taking care of Chloe.	People grieve all the time over death. I'm not the first one this has happened to. Hopefully once March is through I'll be fine and a better person for it all.
i will fall in love with him	he still loves his ex wife he will go back to her he thinks about her	i will be hurt and go on
my study partner currently left to join another group	I feel she is talking about me , she underestimated my ability to help her succeed
dont want to go outside	people stare at me and dont like me
GOING TO THE STORE	I HAVE CHEST PAIN WHAT IF SOMETHING HAPPENS LIKE I GET AHEART ATTACK GOD FORBID	IT'S NOT HAPPEN IT'S JUST ANXIETY
Trouble concentrating; getting started on tasks, even enjoyable ones.	I'm worthless I always circle back to this	Start by taking one little step bit by bit I can accomplish a lot I've succeeded before Just go do it!
I feel depressed, am I spiralling down to a full blown breakdown?	I am spiralling down, I am going to "lose it" and never be free of depression and anxiety.	I have hit rock bottom and come out of it. I will be OK after this, too. I don't have to feel the same everyday.
begin to repeat thoughts in my mind and think that i might be going mad	This isnt normal and there must be something wrong, i cant do anything about my thoughts, it must be because ive taken drugs in the past.	its only happening when im anxious or on my own, this is only anxiety im no im not mad, ive not taken too many drugs i only paniced when i was on them which makes me associate them to the anxiety
My supervisory was training me when I started my job. It was a very stressful job with many, many things to learn. One day she found me doing a task wrong and in a harsh voice she barked "What the HELL are you doing?!" Then she stormed out for a 'smoke' telling other co-workers that she was stressed out having to train me. I felt ashamed and scared.	I am so stupid, I should have known not to do the task this way. I should just quit my job and become homeless. I will never learn how to do this job properly.	My supervisor only wants me to learn the job well and is working hard to help me learn it right, I should be grateful for that. I am intelligent and capable of learning this. I will pay attention to this feedback, write it down and ensure that next time I use my abilities to do an even better job.
Someone who I respect told me that he thinks I'm always negative and I shoot myself in the foot.	Where does he get off judging me like that? Walk a mile in my shoes, dude! Maybe I will shoot YOU in the head! That's pretty arrogant of him!	"Judge not lest ye be judged." Maybe there's some truth in what he says. And then face the death penalty. Then again, the truth hurts.
Walking back into work after 5 months of illness relating to anxiety caused by my managers	I will cry and walk straight back out I hate my managers Everyone will want to know the detail of why i was off sick Everyone will have judged me and bitched about me whilst I've been off	I have no reason to cry - I have done no wrong I have been hurt by them but their behaviour has made me so much stronger My managers' line manager is now aware of the hurt I have been caused and has given his full backing It is human nature to interfere in other people's private business - they will have something else to talk about 'tomorrow'
Not receiving an answer from a person I am in love with	She does not care about me. She does not even want to be my friend. She will never contact me again. It hurts me 70%. I am unloved 30%	This will pass. It is question of time. I'll find someone that will love me.
Talking	They will misinterpret (100% anxiety) I will notice mixed messages in their behavoir (50%anger, 50%anxiety)) My metaphors will not be recognized, as such (100%anxiety) I can't meet others expectation (50%anxiety, 50%anger)	They will understand They are not perfect either They are intelligent enough to recognize a metaphor They may not expect as much as I think
Attending a Hospital based root cause analysis meeting after a laboratory error occurred	We will be chastised and singleed out for the error (anxiety, stress, anticipatory anxiety, ) everyone will focus on me and my responses (anxiety 70%)	We will present error honestly and the group will hopefully help us find ways to prevent it from happening again.They should not single us out, an error was not intended. We are willing to make appropriate changes to help mitigate against it's recurrence.

Sitting in group therapy with about 15 people.	"Mark is staring at me and he thinks that I am feminime." If I let my face relax, I would look like a drag queen. If I let myself relax, I will be physically attacked. I am going to cry in front of everybody, and they are laughing at me.	there is nothing wrong with your face, you just have an overbite. If I feel like crying then maybe I should to get it out of the way. Nobody can notice that I am anxious.

I'm having difficulty carrying on a conversation with an aquaintance.	I'm stupid. I don't know anything about what he is talking about. I'll never fit in. I'm weird.	I don't know much on the subject matter but I know alot about other things. It takes time to feel comfortable with a stranger. There is nothing wrong with me. I'm just not comfortable. If I keep trying to talk with people, it will get easier to carry a conversation.
Sitting here, again, trying to relax and enjoy making music like before.	This is not gonna be finished. I never finish my tracks these days... Listen to that! Ouch, this sounds like sh*t...awful... My friends would never like this, I'd feel ashamed if they where to hear it.	So what? Sometimes I get it right and sometimes I don't...no big deal. I have heard much worse than this, and much better as well... If it's not working, I should try something fresh. I doesn't matter what they think, or say. My music is for my own development, if they enjoy it it's a plus but if they don't it won't change the fact that I've grown from making it.
Trying to talk with people my own age (15-17). Especailly trying to get the courage to talk to girls my own age. I'm a 17 male who hasn't had a girlfrieng since I was 11 years old.

sitting in a group of students at book club. Teacher asks me a question to see if I understood the book.

I can handle other conversations OK, why is this any different. Im uncomfortable in a new place, but I'll grow to like it if i continue.
My boyfriend and I were going to our friends birthday party/graduation so i knew there were gonna be people i didn't know. Of course my boyfriend is real outgoing and tends to be the center of attention.He has alot in common with them and always insists I intervine in a conversation but I don't know what to say.	Anxiety,stressed, and uncomfortable Everyone's talking to him more, he has more to say, I hate it when he puts me on the spot with something i don't want to do or talk about, I want to leave, Why is he being so flirty?, I wish one of my friends were here, They probably think I'm acting like a jerk for not talking, maybe he would have fun without me, I feel like I'm embarressing him, I thought we were just gonna be here for an hour or 2	I need to learn how not to let little details bother me, they have no reason to not like me, It's ok not to talk all the time but try to add in some things, also I NEED to grasp the fact that this is suppose to be fun not something to dread.
Seeing my boyfriend and knowing he has a date with another woman that may involve sex.	Anxiety- I dont want him to go and will try and stop him. Anxiety- If he doesnt answer his phone or says he cant see me, that he is with her. Anxiety- He is choosing to see her instead of me. He is dressing up and putting cologne-something he never does with me.I feel put down. Like I dont matter. Anxiety- He makes a date with me and then cancels it to see her. I feel disrespected.	Let him go and encourage him to go. Dont try and stop him. Dont freak out when his is missing or doesnt answer. Eventually he will show up/answer.He may not be with her. He may be alone or someplace else.Dont worry where he is or who he is with. Eventually he will lose interest in her, and move on. Be happy that he is comfortable with me and doesnt have to impress me. He is just fitting us both into his schedule. Nothing to get upset about.
I haven't fulfilled the "professional growth hours" for my teaching credentials, which expire September 1. The Commission will not accept chronic depression as an 'excuse' - not only will I be depressed, I'll be out of a job and without credentials or health insurance.	I'm a failure. They won't accept my 'excuse'.	Depression is a serious medical illness, one whose thoughts alone make such thinking seem reasonable. I've accomplished alot in my life, being depressed doesn't erase them I have a legitimite illness, can provide ample documentation; the Commission accepted my edoctor's note when I was ill in 2001-2002.

Sitting alone on the computer, bored...	What if i become something bad, if i lose it what if anything bad happens to my friend...	I wont lose it because i have family and friends to support me, thinking that ill lose it is just plain stupid because ive had these thoughts b4 and i overcame it! no reason for me to feel this way its just plain stupid and get that out of your head if your reading this!!! nothing bad will happen to her because shes smarter then you for one and since you can take care of yourself well then she should do even better, you know it and keep it in your mind
I feel that i am not as funny or spontaneous as i used to be because of problems and that i am depressed.	i am hopeless, and will be stuck like this for the rest of my life. People notice this and think that I am weak. Girls will not want to get to know me because they see that I'm full of problems that reflects on my overall appearance. I am gonna lose my friends that I currently have.	This is just a phase, and with positive thiinking it will soon pass. People might notice that I am depressed but they want too help me and don't think less of me. Girls will think that I am stronger and more confident once this phase passes, as most people won't know how to deal with similar problems that I have had. I will not lose my friends, because my friends care about me, and will want to help me.
Entering a room with several other people	Everyone is judging me I'm going to look stupid I feel out of place and anxious I feel hot and am going to sweat profusely	everyone cares more about themselves you're a handsome fellow, smooth and you're a student, just like everyone else, you paid your dues why? it's cold in the room
My boyfriend faxes me a note saying he is too stressed out to talk to me about our future tonight, butloves me and will talk to me about it tomorrow when he is rested.	He's so upset with me that he doesn't want to talk to me. It's over, and its all my fault. I just screwed up the only good relationship I ever had with my paranoia. If I don't talk to him tonight, I might die.	He meant exactly waht he said-there's no hidden meaning. It's not over, he's just tired, and wants to be careful to only talk about something so important when he feels better. A truly good relationship couldn't be so easily destroyed just because I asked for some clarification. I am strong enough to be patient, respect his wishes, and wait until tomorrow.

Student teaching	I can't do this. The children will laugh at me. My mentor will say I am not a good teacher. I will forget what to say.	I can do this...I am intelligent and a good teacher.

Fight with boyfriend, or boyfriend is out without me.	afraid he will leave me each time we fight scared he will run off with someone if we have a bad time afraid he will lie to me afraid he will find someone more interesting than me	it's just a fight, he accepts the good and bad, he is mature no, he loves me and wants to commit, doesn't go out looking for other women he doesn't lie anymore, and tells me everything, he has nothing to hide, just finds things irrelevant to tell sometimes there will always be interesting people around, doesn't mean he thinks they are better than me
A get-together at a friend's house, with other guests.	the girls will think I'm ugly I will be isolated from the conversation Everyone will ignore me I'll be very paranoid and won't speak.

My sister, has decided, to give her husband my birthright.	How dare she do this, I am a widow.

My sister, has decided, to give her husband my birthright.	How dare she do this, I am a widow. My parents would have wanted me to have this land, and it was stated verbally and legally, but there is a loophole. I will never feel the same towards my sister.	I have found a truth about someone I believed in. I can live with this, and I can see it as control, not hate for me. I would rather know truth, than have my parents land. I will be more free of the constant bickering, which is very hard on my stress and feelings of worthlessness. I am a good person, and what you take, is not really yours. I would never do this in turn, so I am truly a better person.
I had been hanging out with my friends and smoked nearly an Oz. of weed with my friends I was completely baked for like 3 days and this scared me into having a panic attack where i felt like i was going to die or go crazy.	Im going to die Im never going to regain full conciensness Im going to die in my sleep Im going to die from a heart attack	No one dies from marijuana that's not possible That wont happen nothing is wrong with me Im just scared and my hearts beating fast

I Can't Stop Thinking about Anxiety which causes more anxiety	I'll never stop thinking about stress. I'm going crazy. Do I have anything that I enjoy anymore to think about? Why can't I stop thinking constantly	This has happened before and gone away. Your doctor said you aren't and he knows more then you. Think of all the great things you have in your life to live for Run, read, write, play music. Fill this space with positive thought.
Opening my own business.	It doesn't feel "right". How do I know this is the "right" choice. What if I don't make any money or I can't sell my services? I'm not sure I can do what I think I am capable of. People just don't want to spend the money on this kind of service.	Remember, you have done the research and you made this decision based on a list of criteria. Practice and prepare. I do my homework. Knowledge and confidence overcome my fears. I am capable of much more than I give myself credit. Once people are made aware of the money they will save in the long run on time wasted, they will come running for my services.
Received an e-mail from Greg asking what e-mail he should use to "check in"	He's got bad and embarrassing news to share and he wants to send it to a private e-mail so my secretary doesn't see it	He's just wanting to heal the past by say hi from time to time but he knows i once objected to my work e-mail being used. He's being kind and sensitive. If not, so what? I can handle it. Just an e-mail.
At work a man speaks to me or my boss speaks very loudly to me and I blush so deep red that the other person doesn't know what to do and I feel weak, pathetic, and horrible.	They think there's something wrong with me. They think I'm stupid, weak, and shy. They want to fire me because I can't advance in this social world. They feel sorry for me and want to get away from me.	They'll see I'm anxious, but so what if they see that? They know I'm smart and capable - they have seen my skills. I'm such a hard/good worker, the practice would fail if I left. They feel sorry but love me and think I'm cute.
I want to go in my room and relax, watch tv, write poetry and fall asleep peacefully	I will have a panic attack I will throw up I will not be able to sleep I will pace, get sick, be dizzy, and my heart will race.

My husband's friend of 20+ years called today and I began to feel jealous. ( SHe is married and happy in her marriage.)	They were flirting. He prefers to talk with her than to me. He likes her better than me. He is embarassed of me and won't let me get to know her.	They were not flirting but merely having a normal conversation. It won't hurt me or him to have friends outside of our marriage. He likes her friendship but loves me because I am his wife. SHe and her husband live over 100+ miles from us and we have not had time to meet.

Fear of job ending and no other work coming up.	Nobody will hire me. I'm getting to old. I will have to work a minimum wage job that I would hate and I could not pay my bills.	I've been getting work fairly steadily this past year. I can handle the down time.
Thoughts about why my gitlfriend dumped me	I will never meet anyone like her again She is a much better person than me; so much more adventurous I fooled her into liking me; she dumped me when she found out who i really am I am inadequate	The world is full of woderful people. I feel in love before i will fall in love again. I am good a person too. As long as I make an effort I can continue to improve myself. The person she fell in love with was the real me. Things only went sour when I let my anxiety get out of control. I am more than adequate when I allow myself to be
ive always wanted to ask this girl from uni out but have never had the courage to do so - but when i did, she made up excuses to avoid it. when i heard an aquaintance had asked her on a date, only knowing her for a few weeks and she said yes - thats when the ANTS appeared	anger and resentment - im not going to look at her the same way again revenge - i wish the worst for both of them disappointment - that im not good enough for this person envy - i wish that was me in that position	there are many more girls out there for me to love being just friends is a lot better than a closer relationship i wish them all the best i cant force someone to like me, i rather someone who liked me for who i am, and not change

I'm waiting for a guy who said he'd call to call-- he doesn't call, and it's 10:00 at night. I'm upset, I feel worthless. We've been dating for a month, now. Why must I still sit by the phone, waiting for him to call?	He is really dating 2 girls at once. That's why he's a control freak about calling me. That's why he only calls me when he wants to, but he seems busy when I call him. He has no interest in me. He thinks I'm desperate, being over 30, and all, and he is just playing me, anyways. Then I get an ache in my stomach. I'm 30, and I'm going to be single, forever. I'll never get married, I'll never have children, I'll die alone. I'll never meet anybody interesting enough to share my life with. I'm so worked up, that I can't relax. I won't sleep at all, tonight. It's already 11:00 p.m., now, and he still hasn't called. He probably has another girlfriend named Lucy. Now, my heart is beating faster.	He is busy. He will call me when he's done with his day. He has a busier life than me, yet he makes time for me. I should feel special. If he's playing me, then that's his problem. I'm pretty, fit, and I have a lot of good qualities. I've dated several guys in the last 6 months, and I'll find others. I don't need to panic, just because I haven't found "the one," yet. Even if I miss some sleep, I'll still be ok. I've lost sleep before, and made up for it the next night.
at work or at a store when busy automatically feel dizzy and heart rate increases	another panic coming im going to lose my mind going to lose control i will stop breathing or i will blank out and go crazy	breathing exercises, distractions, moving around and doing a lot of things at once call a friend and talk about the problem lay down and close your eyes if possible think about how many times it has happened and you are still alive and that nothing could be done you can only help yourself
Waiting for my husband to come home and checking out "the anxiety community."	Husband will come home and won't be as happy to see me as I am to see him I will feel isolated I won't lean anything new on the anxiety community or meet new people or ever feel better	Husband will be happy to see me; he loves me I have friends and family and a good therapist and no reason to feel isolated and worried I can handle this
sitting in the office	can't go out can't stay in time is racing by I'm all done	I choose not to go out Staying in is a choice I made If I go out, time will be useful to me I have only just begun

A work luncheon at a restaurant	scared i will not be able to pick up my glass without mu hand trembling. Afraid I will have nothing to add to any conversation and will just sit there feeling uncomfortable Afraid I will say things that people find stupid and boring	I have as much right to be there as anyone else. The people sitting with me are not there to judge me It is supposed to be fun so i must not try to take it so seriously

co-workers 25th anniversary celebration	i wont be able to hold my drink without my hand shaking they might ask me to cut the cake or serve and i will tremble everyone will stare at me and know i have a problem	everyone is there to celebrate our co-workers 25yrs people are happy to take a break, have coffee and cake and that is all no one has come to judge me!
Feeling chest pain and thinking about it too much	I'm having a heart attack (100% anxiety) My heart is stopping My heart's working too hard (guilt) Hard Heartbeat	My heart is still beating. The pain is in my head.

Going into a store	Automatically I go to feeling faint in these stores. I feel shopping carts give me support sometimes from falling over. I guess my mind has me terrified that I will pass out and look bad in front of several people.	I need to put all these thoughts onto something positive. Keeping focus is very tough however.
Home at dinner with girlfriend	There is no way I can get married. I can't handle the stresses of a long term relationship. This marriage is bound to fail, and I will be alone	My girlfriend loves me very much. I feel some short term stress over a such a major life changing event, but in the long run this will be very satisfying
Thinking of my Mom and her death	I didn't do enough for her while I was alive I feel guilty because I have so much more than she ever had I don't feel that I deserve what I have I am worried that I'll lose everything I have	I did everything I was equipped to do, financially and emotionally I earned what I have through hard work and persistance and intelligent choices I worked honestly for what I have and deserve it I won't because I've built a good foundation for my life. Friends, skills and finances!
Thinking of my Mom and her death	I didn't do enough for her while I was alive I feel guilty because I have so much more than she ever had I don't feel that I deserve what I have I am worried that I'll lose everything I have	I did everything I was equipped to do, financially and emotionally I earned what I have through hard work and persistance and intelligent choices I worked honestly for what I have and deserve it I won't because I've built a good foundation for my life.

getting to know my new love interest	he will think im so weird, if i show him the real me he wont like me and he thinks bad things about me he does think bad things, and is just pretending to like me, he will leave me like everyone else, i feel stupid for trusting him, he will hurt me - i KNOW he will and i know what he thinks about me	i cant read peoples minds, there is no evidence to suggest he doesnt like me, if he doesnt like the "real me" then he's not worth knowing i should believe the compliments he gives me, because he wouldnt have said them if he didnt mean them i cant him by what previous people have done to me,
Found a man perfect for me, and fell in love; marriage is in discussion.	What if I wake up one morning and dont love him anymore?-fear What if this isn't right and I'm just kidding myself? What if I'm just in love with love and not him?	He has never given me a reason not to love him. He is everything I could ever want and more. If I was in love with love and just wanted to get married I would have been married years ago, and be unhappy.
Failed an exam-I'm trying again, but have only a few months to learn volumes and volumes of information. My motivation and confidence are way down, and anxiety and doubt at all time highs.	I can't pass this. If I don't pass I've got nothing to fall back on for a carreer. I can't shake the regret of getting myself in this position in the first place. If I DO pass, I've got a life of hell ahead of me with more exams and incredible responsibility for the rest of my life!	I can. I was close before, and if I dedicate myself to the task, I've got a lot of resources to help me get there. Just don't be afraid to ask for the help you truly need, and don't be afraid to accept it when it comes. Maybe not now, but I'm a smart guy. The opportunities are there--with courage, I can pick and choose. EVERYONE makes mistakes! Don't forget that you've had some amazing success stories, too. The future could be pretty similar, just don't forget to focus on the good, not the bad. The good is there, REMEMBER IT. It'll be hard, and scary, sure. But think of the rewards. This is where my dreams are. This is where the gold ring is, this is where I'll be able to make a difference. Focus on that--the good will outweigh the bad!

My boyfriend smoking pot.	I am uncomfortable. My heart rate increases and there's a knot in my stomach. (100% anxiety) He should love me enough not to do this because I don't like it. (70% anger, 30% anxiety) I feel left out. (20% anger, 80% anxiety) He's not happy enough with just me. He needs pot to have fun. (50% anger, 50% anxiety)	Take a deep breath. This is no big deal, I can have fun if I want to. He is free to do what he wishes. A relationship should add to our lives, not detract from them. He wants to hang out with me and include me. I am not left out because I am here and having fun. It's like having a drink at a party. It isn't requisite for fun, but just adds to it.
My psyhiatrist wastes my time by playing around with a toy robot/tape recorder during my appointment	Why on earth does he think I'd be interested in this? He has flipped his lid.	He was trying to agitate me as part of his assessment of me.
Make public speechs.	I will severely blush and I'm sure people will notice and think that I'm afraid because I don't know the subject very well, and they will also laugh at me as well as not be interested in calling me to make others presentation. In case of the process is triggered I' will not be able to keep my ideas clear and the whole presentation will be a disaster. Anxiety 60%, Stress 35%, Anger 5%.	They have no reason to think I don't know the subject very well because I blush. If happens, I can handle the situation and even make a joke of it.
I called my gf and she said she was busy and would call me back later. She never called me back and I caught her online where she then said "Someone came over and now I am going to bed"	She must have cheated on me Why didn't she call and say I won't be able to talk to you I have company	I have no proof that she cheated on me- It's all in my head and due to my insecurity She didn't want to be rude to her company and call me

Negative test result	I'm afraid that I am going to die. I'm afraid that I have cancer. I knew this would happen. (Writing this is freaky!)	My blood test is fine, specialist not worried, I eat healthy, avoid chemicals, etc. I can shrink the cyst. I am stronger than I think.
There is that damn pain in my chest again.	I must have a heart problem Could there be some blockage? I am just going to die suddenly. This would just get better if I lost 30 lbs.	I am entirely too young to have any surprise cardiac events Your Duke Treadmill Score was 15...that is as good as your heart gets. There is no history of people having heart attacks under 65 in my family. It is only anxiety damnit!
my fiance is far away and sometimes I can't get a hold of him...	something bad has happened to him. he's with an other girl. he is having second thoughts about me. he doesn't love me as much as I thought...	he's fine, and even if he's not worrying won't fix it. he is engaged to me, and even far away wouldn't betray me like that. he's told me a million times that he loves me. see above...

teaching a really difficult class of students	I am a rubbish teacher. They are bored. They don't like me. Whatever I do they will misbehave	I know I am a good teacher with other classes. If they are bored it's because they are not participating or engaging with the subject. It doesn't matter if they like me, I don't go to the pub with them.

I have back pain that is bad and not getting better.	There is something really wrong with my back. It will not get better. It might paralyze me. It might be related to a tumor or life threatening illness.	I have probably strained my back in some way between the toddler, heavy lifting, gardening, and running. It may just take some time to get better and I should probably just go to the doctor to get an opinion. I think if it were going to cause paralysis, you'd probably have some symptoms other than pain when bending. The odds are that it is just back pain... unfortunately, you are getting older and your lifestyle, age, and stress level probably have a lot more to do with it.
I suffer from halitosis. I have tried everything and nothing works. I have to talk to coworkers in close proximety sometime. If affects my confidence and the way I communicate with people.	I fear someone saying something to me as if I don't already know. Scared that I am offending whomever i am talking to. Unable to say what i need to say with confidence so I appear timid and unknowledgeable	If someone says something politely let them know that i know and thank them for their concern. don't think about offending someone unless they bring it up. place myself in a position where i feel comfortable talking to them.
Sitting at home obsessing over my health...chest pain, shoulder pain, body aches.	I'm having a heart attack My arteries are clogged, I'm going to drop dead My heart isn't strong and I'm going to die I'm having referred pain from my heart	I'm NOT having a heart attack. The pain is anxiety. I just had blood tests run, my heart is fine! All the pains, all the times before were nothing but ANXIETY. I didn't die then, I won't die now. It's only stressed, tight muscles from stress and anxiety. I will be fine!
Reading an obituary.	"I'm going to die someday." "Someday my kids are going to die."	I avoid thinking about death. Get up and do something else and put my mind elsewhere.
Speaking to my boss	I'm an idiot and she'll realise I will stutter and feel sick She will laugh at me I'll get fired	I'm not an idiot Who cares if I stutter? Feeling sick won't kill me. Laughing is okay. I could join in. I probably won't get fired. But if I do, it saves me quitting!
Taking the bus to school	I will need to go to the bathroom as soon as I get on I will become motion sick I will panic and need to get off in a bad neighborhood and be stuck there	I've never had to get off before It's only 10 minutes You are only having stomach issues due to anxiety You can breathe through this like you always do

Applying to a job and going through with the interview process.	I will turn red, stutter, make the other person feel uncomfortable. 90% anxiety 10% anger I'll feel like I'm good for nothing, I won't be able to get a job like anybody else.	I have no reason to get embarrased, the company would benefit from a fine worker like myself. Things may go smoothly and we might even have a good laugh.
Negative thoughts over-rule my thouhts...	Physical, and mental thoughts keep me from succeeding with improvement	No matterwhat... I am desperatley trying
wife told me wanted to separate	she doesn't love me. I am not worthy of her love we are getting a divorce there is another in her life	It doesn't mean she doesn't love me. Being worthy has nothing to do with her decision. We dont' know what the future holds. That is not a fact.

Giving a presentation to my community members.	I will look embarrassed and everyone will know I'm nervous My voice will quiver I will forget what I am talking about People will ask me questions and I will not remember the answer.	I have no reason to get embarrassed It's not a big deal if my voice quivers, no one will probably even notice So what if I forget what I am talking about. I will take a deep breath and think about what I am presenting on. If I don't have the anwers to peoples' questions then I will simply tell them I will find out the answer and get back to them.

Approaching an attractive female in a party, bar, street, etc.	She will want to leave. I will make her uncomfortable. I won't be able to find things to say. I'll feel embarrased. People will see me and judge me. She won't like me anyway. If I plow my way through and somehow get her number, she won't call and I'll be hurt again.	Maybe she'll be friendly. Maybe she will find me attractive. Maybe what I say will be interesing to her, and maybe she'll talk back to me. Maybe I won't feel embarrased. Maybe people will see me and be envious that I'm talking to a pretty girl. Maybe she will like me. Maybe I'll go on a date with her.

I'm in Love with my Girlfriend but she Suffers from Anxiety (This causes me to be anxious, terribly ironic I know)	She says sometimes she doubts our relationship and whether she really loves me, but she knows she only feels that way sometimes because of her anxiety. What if she doesn't love me and she's in denial by saying it's just her anxiety? I don't feel safe in the relationship	She really does love me, she tells me all the time. I know she suffers from anxiety about lots of other things so it's not just our relationship. It's bound to affect our relationship as it is a large part of her life. I should feel safe, she tells me she can deal with her anxiety and I have nothing to worry about
Taking new job abroad with pay cut.	Will not be able to afford necessities (fear). Will be stranded in foreign country (anxiety). Will not be effective at work (stress). Will "lose it" due to stress (fear).	I have never experienced a true financial hardship, and I can be resourceful in finding ways to make money. I can leave at any time to return; it is a big world, and I am not stuck. I have a proven track record of success; there will be new challenges, but I can handle them. I have control over my life and can avoid destructive behaviors that cause stress; I can meditate, exercise, etc.
