Hello all,
I joined a few weeks ago when my anxiety came back out of the blue. I had gone over a year with absolutely no problems at all. When anxiety first hit it was horrible. I was sick for months. I couldn't go to work. I lost so much weight. I went from being this super fun easy going guy to being this fragile timid mouse. After a lot of help I was able to beat my anxiety problem. Recently and completely out of the blue my symptoms returned. But this time they had changed completely. I feel sometimes like anxiety is an alive entity. Always changing and trying to disguises itself behind something else. This time around my anxiety has turned into this constant fear that I am going crazy. Is that even possible? I have always been the most rational kind of person. but lately I have had all kind of strange thoughts. things I would never think of. Does anyone with anxiety ever have really bizarre thoughts go through their head. As well lately when I am really tired I begin to almost day dream as soon as I am falling asleep. It is like being awake and asleep at the same time. It is very disturbing to me and I feel like I am losing control of reality. I just need to know if this is a common symptom of anxiety. Because it sure sucks big time. Lately I have been so worried that I am becoming schizophrenic. I know that I am not, but it is such a worry of mine. It only hits me at home when I have time to think about it. It is this overwhelming feeling that I will lose my mind. Sorry to ramble on, and if anyone has actually taken the time to read this I apologize for sounding so weird. I just want my old life back. When I didn't have a care in the world. I would be so extremely grateful if someone were to tell me that they have had a similar experience with anxiety. The good thing is that I got through this thing once so I am sure that with time I will get through it again. I just feel so alone sometimes. Which is strange because I have so many amazing people in my life. Thank you to anyone who has taken the time to read this. If anyone has had a similar experience with anxiety I would be very interested in hearing your story. I just need to know that as crazy as these feelings are, that they are normal anxiety symptoms. I just want so badly to be normal again and enjoy life. Wishing all who read this a speedy recovery from their anxiety problems.
