I'm thankful that my anxiety has decreased a bit. Even though it's not by much...it's still better than nothing. The only problem I have now is when it comes time to sleep. I have so many random images and thoughts that run through my head that it keeps me up and anxious. So my question for everyone...

So I have horrible pure obsessional thoughts. I tend to research a lot about symptoms of various diseases and mental illnesses. I think I have all of them lol, which I know in reality I don't. However I just watched "The Secret" and am scared that since I've been researching about all these diseases...

I've been waking up in panic mode for the last couple of weeks. I'll fall asleep for 2 hours or so but wake up in sheer terror. I know that before I fall asleep, i think of thoughts such as ...what if I panic or lose control of my body and mind? I know those thoughts may have a big role in contribut...

When I close my eyes and attempt to fall asleep I get these bizarre images that pop in my mind. So bizarre it's as if they're like hallucinations. I heard it might be due to the prozac I'm taking. It scares the hell out of me and I usually wake up panicking. These scary thoughts and very bizarre ima...

Depersonalization has been toying with my mind yet once again. I know recognize it as an obsession that needs to be broken.

hopefully the post above makes sense. i really don't know how to describe it in words but in general...i just feel really weird. heres the other question... i don't know if it's because of the derealization/depersonalisation...but i'll be questioning/over-analyzing everything. I can just be driving ...

wow i didn't realize that my topic would be such a hot spot. it certainly does suck that we all have to go through this. i alleviate some of the intensity of the symptoms by recognizing them as just symptoms of anxiety. i try not to be scared of them but it's very hard...and i'm pretty sure all of y...

My anxiety has been getting better I believe...however the only thing that keeps me panicky/anxious are the derealization/depersonalization symptoms. It makes me obsess about reality. I can't seem to think of anything else. Then other obsessions related to reality starts manifesting. It's like I que...

Lately i've been feeling really on edge 24/7. I don't know the particular reason for it but I just don't feel quite right. I also feel as if all my experiences and memories of people, places, etc. do not feel the same. Maybe it's the derealization/depersonalization that is causing it. It's like I wa...
