luckylucas first have you had any traumatic experiences in the past few years? you describe reliving these exeriences for days and in one case you mention this has been going on for years. do you suffer from hypervigilence (always looking over your shoulder) to see if anything frightening is there. do you see on tv in public hear conversations or noises that remind you of a traumatic event. do you have startled responses to certain stimuli that remind you of traumatic issues. is your sleep good or bad. do you anger easily or isolate yourself? if so you may want to see a psychologist or psychiatrist and have an evaluation for ptsd. disorders like phobias panic attacks depression and obsessive compulsive behaviors are very much a part of the ptsd syndrome. the key to your question is "i cant make it go away" which is a classic example of ptsd. these are called intrusive thoughts; you cannot get rid of. ordinarily treatment for gad panic attack and ocd are very treatable with therapy and medication. however ptsd is one of only two memory based disorders in dsm-5. the other is dementia or alzheimer's disease. basically what i am saying is you cannot erase a memory is why ptsd is usually a life long disorder with no cure. the best treatment is a combination of medications and management of your symptoms. i hope this helps. patrick4287 licensed psychologist
i don't feel "right". is this general anxiety? . i overanalyze everything. if i say something wrong or do something that didn't even feel wrong in the moment i'll be reliving it for hours or days. and it's not just the things that happened today or a few days ago. it's stuff that happened years ago too. i feel like i'm getting worked up over nothing but i can't make it go away. i've had a phobia since i was little and i had my first major panic attack when i was 13. can those lead to general anxiety? could i have general anxiety?
