    Anxiety-help

    Hello about 2 years ago i started to get panic attacks, a few times durring the attack i thought i was going to die or go crazy, after one big anxiety attack it put me into derealization for about 3 months, i snaped out of it and then started to fear it was going to happen again, well from all the fear and worry it had brought me back. my thoughts are just bizzare now, it feels like im trapped in my mind, im just too aware of my mind, im scared of my mind, everything to do with it scares me, way to complicated for me, i keep wondering how i am able to "think", how i am able to have memories, how i am able to picture images in my mind, and just how my mind is here. see what i mean im way to much in my mind. im soo focusted on my mind that its blocking my vision all i do all day is think and think about my mind and it scary, its not normal, before my anxiety i don't think i have ever had a thought about my mind. Its just toooo mind boggling and scary..doesn't feel normal

    can i go crazy from this new way of thinking all the time? it just feels like my anxiety has turned into something worse, alot of times it feels like im about to loose it..i know this is not normal...but is this normal for anxiety, i feel sooo unfamiliar with my mind and a bit with the things around me....i wake up in the morning and wonder why i am here and how i am able to think...the anxiety has reached a new low.

    please help

    Hi Mike

    Welcome aboard. Have a read of the Symptoms page on the left and you will see loads about thoughts and going crazy etc.

    That may help reassure you that it is normal with anxiety to get those thoughts.

    You're very welcome. You're not going mad at all - it's just the nature of the illness. Take care and keep posting.

    Yup , bene there done that as have many of us.

    We each have 50,000 thoughts a day If we are using most of those on being introspective and obsessing about who we are and how we are, it leaves little room for distraction or anything else.

    You really need to find something to do which takes all your concentration- even if its for 10 mins so you see that a break is possible.

    People do not go mad from this.
