Anxiety?
Posted , 8 users are following.
It all happened two months ago, I had a huge spike because I have a relative with paranoid schizophrenia. Normally I just scoffed at the thought, never even to fathom the notion that I'd get it..
Although Ive been having really bad anxiety and intrusive thoughts everyday for two months. But being afraid about loosing your grip on logic and reasoning is frightening and disturbing nonetheless. I always feel like I'm about to hear voices. I get racing thoughts so that just exacerbates things. I know that my own mind is trying to trick me into thinking that it's true but in reality it's just thoughts. It's just scary because it's really draining my energy and im in my thoughts all the time can I actually turn this way??
Does anyone else experience this? I feel like I'm the only one. I don't want to be psychotic it's my biggest fear I've been seeing a therapist and he told me its all anxiety and said I have panic disorder but can I develop what can I do to stop this??

Are you on meds?
I also witnessed 2 close friends develop schizophrenia.

Went to a&e thinking I have lost the plot omg, they told me I had a bad reaction to the antidepressant, and it would take 24hours to get out my system.
Well all night and for a few days I did not sleep because I kept having panic and anxiety and thought why is it not going away, am I going mad, am I going the way my 2 friends went? And since then it has not left me, even though I've been told I'm far from crazy, I never ever wanted to touch antidepressants again!! But I bean to get depression, like real bad heavy fog depression, and wake up constantly anxious, and on edge, ide never suffers depression before, so again I didn't understand why I was feeling this way? I tried for a month on my own to get my self better, but started to cry so much and , I went to the Dr, she said the only way is antidepressants, I was very scared and she new I was, I started taking just a quarter of a tablet, for q couple of days then half, now I'm nearly 3 weeks on them, depression has lifted a lot, so has the waking with panic, but not the constant thinking amm I going mad! But I hope with cbt therapy and giving meds more time that it will go, god willing.
