Hi cara
I'm new to the program, but i understand your fear. Before i understood it was anxiety i just thought it was mood swings or frantic thoughts. Not really sure what i thought it was but i did think i was going crazy. Even last night. But this is just the "bad" thoughts telling you this. As my mom once told me, if you think you are going crazy, then you're not cause crazy ppl don't know they are crazy. This actually made me laugh.
So hang in there. I just got the program today and it's already helping me understand me and what i like to call it the anxiety.
you're not crazy nor do i think you are going there.
