hi everyone, lately i have been having scary feelings of what if i start hearing voices or that i may develop schizoprenia. i mean i day dream alot and am forgetful. sometimes i don't even know all the details of what i did last week. Also when im telling a friend a story that i heard i can't remember where i heard it from i have to think hard. i always think wait did i hear it from the news or another friend or was it just a dream? my question is, is this part of anxiety?

I'm sorry that you are going through this, but you are in the right place for help. Are you in the Program? Have you heard from a Coach yet? I'd start there, but just from personal experience, I'm sure it is anxiety. I remember before I started the Program my first time 10 years ago that I was afraid of the same things & scaring myself. And most recently, I can relate to your feeling forgetful - especially when it comes to my listening/talking to other people. It's like I zone out and can't keep my mind in the moment, especially when someone is talking to me & I often forget conversations from yesterday and my husband gets annoyed and I feel scared like I'm getting Alzheimer's at 35 years old (no joke, just actual scary thoughts). But I know that it will get better and it usually does just boil down to anxiety & negative self-talk...
Hopefully, you'll get in touch with someone here soon.
