The mere fact of thinking, or addressing the day can cause anxiety.

Case Report

"I always thought I was apprehensive. I felt restless and could not rest. Sometimes these feelings came and went. Other times they were constant. They could last for days. I was worried if I was going out for dinner to prepare for the party or what would be a great gift for someone. Just could not leave anything behind. It was this tension that I experienced that at times made me desperate. A horrible feeling.

He had problems sleeping. There were stressful times when waking in the morning or in the middle of the night, sweating and shivering. I worked hard to concentrate even while reading the newspaper or a book. Sometimes I felt a bit distressed. My heart beat was too fast or hit me in the chest. This worried me even more. all day long I was concerned about what could happen, could not concentrate on the present, or routine tasks. I had about three weeks listening to the self-hypnosis and was like a miracle, now I control my own emotions, I relax when I want to relax."
