Yes, I definitely get this. I think because I am out of my comfort zone the negative thoughts set in. It is like my mind sets me up to fail/relapse as if it is easier than whatever it is I am facing. I usually get them in the run up to job interviews/courses and things and then usually once I have faced/done whatever it is the thoughts go away.
Do you know what is provoking your anxiety at the moment? Could you think of other things to deal with it until it passes? Maybe things like a bubble bath or movies or something equally nice.
I have found colouring in helps me ATM. I only use an app could colofye (or something like that) it is free and only limited but I find it helps.
Good luck and remember you don't have to give in to these thoughts. They will pass. And if it is really bothering you/getting out of hand then a trip to the doctor wouldn't hurt?
