Anxiety Help - What Does Anxiety Disorder do to Thoughts?

What Does Anxiety Disorder do to Thoughts?

A friend of mine suffers from anxiety disorder. I try to help her when she is having a set back. She says that her thoughts get disturbing when she is experiencing anxiety. What does that mean? She really is not "crazy" so what does anxiety do to her thoughts?

Well when I have anxiety attacks they tend to be at night when I'm in bed and alone. I start getting anxious, my thoughts start racing and I get convinced that "something bad is going to happen."

It's a totally irrational thought, it's not triggered by anything in particular, and although I know it's illogical, at the time I totally believe it and I can't do anything to convince myself otherwise.
