Hello,
I've had anxiety for a while but not an amount that bothered me. It was about 2 years ago, or so, when It started to really irratate me. I would start to have it in certain situations, like when I know that something had to be done at a point in my day. I think that the anxiety defenatly increased from that time though. From that point I beleive it has gotten worse.
The Main Problem:
I have such a fear of developing other anxiety disorders or disorders in general like, Social Anxiety, Schizophrenia, etc. I think this is due to a mild case of OCD. For example, I researched Schizophrenia and read that a common symptom is hallucinations/voices in your head, I will then begin to fear of hearing things in my head. Another thing I fear is social anxiety. I will think about social anxiety by myself and come up with bad scenarios, or even while im talking to someone. However, half the time I'm talking to someone I feel fine and find myself in a good conversation. Other times I overthink too much and do feel anxious in a conversation. The only good thing is, im 3 weeks into school and I tend not to have to much anxiety there for some odd reason. However, I feel that I will eventually.
The fear of developing other disorders is killing me though. Sometimes I think to much and get stressed out that I cause symptoms like anxiety, brain fog (unable to think straight and proccess things fast enough).
I've learned about cognitive behavioural therapy, does this help at all?
