I use to do the same thing and guess what? I was wasting my time, its coming wether I think about it or not, so why not stop thinking about it in between and enjoy that time. I am no longer chronic after 20 years, I think that thinking about it all the time caused them to be worst. I think since I learned not to think about it and just enjoy my life has helped me. I am not saying its a mental thing, but saying we don't do ourselfs any favors by always being scard and just sitting waitng for the next one.
Look at it like this say you know is 12 hours the world is going to end. Are you going to sit around and worry about it knowing there is not much you can do to stop it, or are you going to say get with the people you love and enjoy those last few hours. I am going to enjoy those last few hours myself. I took Verapmil and Neuroton along with Imitrex thats what has helped me, along with a better out look.
