all of my life i have been very worried about getting some kind of illness, but it wasnt till 2004 when i started getting extreme anxiety and panic attacks that i started worrying about mental illness instead of physical illness. . i was in an extreme state of panic for months untill i was put on prozac (40mg)that helped me and after ten months i came off the prozac, well 4 months past and it started all over again, so i started the prozac again, but this time it made me panic more, so my doctor put me on lexapro (10mg), which seems to be working, its only been 2 weeks. i now read symptoms of every mental illness there is, and as i do, i convince myself for some strange reason that i am having those symptoms of the particular illness that i am reading. i now think that i hear voices, but i know they are my own thoughts, but i make them into a voice in my head, is this normal??it gets really annoying, because now i cant stop it, but its me doing it. i am scared i am gonna lose it one day, its all i think about. can someone help me out here?[?][?]
