does anyone know whether dr/dp can be caused through thought patterns alone? i've become so scared of the prospect that i might have dr/dp that it's like my mind has turned outwards and is constantly aware of itself via worry ... so it's almost as if i've contracted dr/dp thru a fear of it. i realise it falls totally in sync with my 'magical thinking', i.e. i sometimes believed that thinking about a heartattack might cause one, yet dr/dp seems like such a fuzzy, hard-to-pin disorder that i wasn't sure if it could genuinely come about through thinking alone ... anyway i realise that having that label on-hand won't change anything, and i'm just falling into my usual traps by seeking reassurance here, but this time it feels so REAL lol . .
