Im constantly afraid of going insane or crazy and i dont know what to do

I have an anxiety dissorder but for a while now i've been having little flashes of images of me going carzy and not being able to control my actions and somtimes i feel disconected from reality and very forgetfull and im worried, what if anxiety isn't the only thing that i have and that scares me because the thoughts and the vissions of me going crazy and just losing my mind are always on play..i guess what im trying to find out is if im the only one that feels this way or is what im feeling normal tho my situatuon.

hi Jacob I've sent you private message, hope it helps smile

You're certainly not alone in this. Anxieties can cause this and so can bipolar. I know this because I was diagnosed with both and battling the same symptoms as you. Are you on medication? I'm not pushing medication. I'm asking because my bipolar condition was identified when I went on Zoloft. I had a manic episode and apparently SSRIs will cause this if you're bipolar. But it could be caused from your anxiety as well. Anxiety symptoms are not always the same for everyone and it could change with time. When I was first diagnosed my throat would lock up. Years later, I have new symptoms like racing heart, shaky feeling. I would seek out a psychiatrist or a therapist and start a treatment plan. The quicker you act on this the quicker you will heal. I hope this helps.

I've the feeling of going crazy before and it scared the crap out of me. I couldn't control my racing thoughts and felt like I was going to just lose it. I was petrified of what I might do. I was eventually able to calm myself down but it felt like it was almost impossible to do. I had to put my head between my legs and tell myself this is only anxiety and it will get better. I honestly felt like I had a psychotic break. I have learned that if you stay away from any kind of triggers and try and do things that will make you feel positive even as much as you don't want to it's a must, it really does help. It took me a good two weeks to feel a little normal again after, I had my episode but I tried to push myself into going for a walk and getting out of the house and staying away from alcohol and anything else that would bring me down and make get to that low dark place I was in. I The feeling of not being in control of your mind and body is very scary but I promise if you try and stay positive and do positive things it makes a difference.

I had this on Sunday night, I couldn't sleep because of the horrible thoughts, I couldn't tell you what they were about just a fear of hurting myself or someone close, on Monday I couldn't leave the house and stayed on the sofa all day feeling panicky. I'm at rock bottom at the moment.
