Hi all
I have been suffering anxiety for 3 months now really badly. I was diagnosed with slight traces of emphysema and was told if I stopped smoking it wouldn't progress any further and I would be fine and not be symptomatic (I am 46 female). That was from a private consultant. However because of my HA that wasn't good enough and I went into free fall to this point and the last week been the worst. I am not on medication and waiting for counselling. The last few days I have developed a horrible obsession that I have schizophrenia and it is just taking over my whole thinking pattern. It is bad enough trying to deal with the anxiety but now this, I feel so helpless. I know its only caused by anxiety , but I am scared now all this is going to drive me to a breakdown. I now cannot hear certain words without thinking I am suffering it.......where does it all end. Does anyone have any suggestion to help me with this.....I am trying to reason with myself but I think I am just too gone into it to step back out...
