I don't know what to do I feel like I'm far away from my family and my boyfriend they ask me questions but I don't want to answer I just feel so helpless like what's the point on telling them? It's scares me because I feel like if I don't talk to them and tell them what's goig on then it will get worst and I'll go crazy! I'm so scared! I don't want to loose them I want to be a part of my family but I don't know how anymore? I feel like it's all slipping away! I just don't know what to do? I don't want then to get tired of me and what I'm dealing with?

What are you scared of? Anxiety is much more common than you think. I am sure your family will understand. This will not last forever. I remember at my worst I felt like I would be stuck in the cycle forever. You have A LOT of support on here. Many people who can understand what you are going through. If you need anything just PM me.

Thank you! I'm scared of everything when I get an anxious episode...losing my mind and feeling that my family will get tired of dealing with me and forgeting me! At thy point I feel so lost i don't know what to do, I just panic and feel hopeless! Then I think I'm never going to feel better!

That is completly normal!!! I feel the same way sometimes. Stick in there. People will be more understanding than you think. If they arent then that is there problem. I am sorry that you are going through this. When my anxiety is really high my biggest fear is going crazy. And as you will see a lot of people are scared of that on here. That is a lot of peoples biggest fear. In fact I am sure most people are scared of it. We just tend to harp on our fears and analyze them every which way. lol It will get better.

Naustin,

Thank you. I'm scared to death of going crazy and when I let my anxiety take over I fell as if maybe I have a mental illness or something that the Drs might have missed and that scares me! I'm so scared of the thought of hurting someone, even when I know I am not that way but the thought takes over and scares me! What can I do?

Oh girl I know just how you feel. My therapist has reassured me over and over that I am not crazy. And I will still go in and ask her. Are you sure???? lol I really find comfort on this website knowing I am not alone. And that this is more normal than I think.

I understand what you are going through. I feel helpless too and feel like I'm going crazy. I get so scared of everything and recently started seeing a therapist and I'm scared of that too! I've been waking up in the am with such bad anxiety lately it's terrible. I'm on 75mg of Effexor XR and think I need to bump up but that freaks me out too. It's like how do you make the worrying stop??? Hang in there, you're not alone

Hi, I too can TOTALLY relate!!! For YEARS I had struggled with this, fighting the fear of losing my mind, worrying about "losing it" and freaking out and running out of a room and thinking that everyone was going to give up on me and leave me. They didn't and yours won't either. The fact that you worry about "losing it" proves that you won't! People who lose it don't know it and they don't care. I would suggest, if you haven't already, at least get the book, "From Panic to Power" by Lucinda Bassett. It CHANGED MY LIFE! You will find out you are in much better shape than you think you are and that since you are causing your own anxieties, YOU can chase them away. It's only the truth that you know that can make you free.
