do i only think this?

hi everyone i guess im looking for reassurance. i have a really bad thought/feeling when i go out at night (never alone) i have a feeling/thought that if i look behind me theres going to be "nothing there" like everything behind me is gone just blackness and i feel like im standing on the edge like if you was standing on the edge of a step? just writing this seems silly but i end up closeing my eyes and dragging who ever is with me home but avoiding going the way i come incase i look behind and theres nothing there is this part of anxiety or something new? (like i really am losing my mind) :shrug: sorry was just wondering

Certainly part of anxiety. The feeling of 'losing your mind' is very typical. Most people don't realise it is so they think it's a symptom of a more serious mental illness, like psychosis. But i promise everything will still be there. Unless your tripping on magic mushrooms.
