I have the same problem. What you have said echoes myself. First of all, none of this is you. Believe me it's not. When you are healthier, you cannot even MAKE that stuff happen, even if you try.
Yes for me it's the same. I become fixated on something and I will have panic attacks even from thoughts inside my own head. It isn't normal and you will think it is you, but I assure you it is not whatsoever.
I've lost a relationship because of that very thing. And yes, with that, going red for no real reason. Even if someone is just talking to me, I will sometimes go red. I will get adrenaline rushes and really it is just torture.
Though I think there is an underlining problem, like mercury or something else that is causing the immune system to not function properly and causing things to "misfire" in your thinking (even normal patterns of thought), I found that diet was the only thing that at least enabled me to gain some control of it to a point. I realised that if I cann't fix the underlining problem (not knowing exactly what it is), then I had to simply get on a strict candida diet and allow my body to improve itself that way.
When I did that, one side effect was improvement in that other area. But I had to do that diet and NOT cheat. I mean some people really think they are doing the diet (I did) and are still having bits of this and bits of that. I realised I had to get serious and do the diet without cheating and then things began to happen.
So whether you're doing this or not, I don't know. But I encourage you to do so if you're not. It takes time because at first you may go through a detox/ die off and it can take a few weeks till improvement.
The diet, in case you're not aware of it, is simply no sugar (at all), no gluten grains, no fruit (temporarily), no milk. You concentrate on eating basically meats, eggs, vegetables (but watch out for corn, potatoes, carrots as they are high in natural carb/sugars).
It must be this strict in order to allow your body to reduce high yeast levels. CAndida often causes panic attacks, anxiety, depression and people do not realise the terrible suffering it can cause. It may not be the "cause", but it often ends up being the bigger problem as your immunity can no longer hold yeast at normal levels due to having some other problem.
Here is a link you maybe interested in reading that may help you too. This is what I "try" and follow. Though I am not as strict as I should be, because I do have some gluten free grain at times, plus some raw nuts almonds/brazil and acidophilus yoghurt. But I don't think these hurt me "too much". Though the diet is very strict at first, you can loosen up more later as you heal. It takes time though and persistance.
here's the link.
