Hi everyone, i hope someone can relate to this..
My biggest fear when i feel panic coming on is that i will suddenly lose my mind and go crazy. Somehow i fear that if i stay with the anxious feelings too long my mind will slip away and i'll never be able to think normal again..
It's a really horrible fear, out of all the 1000 times i've panicked about it it still has never happened, but each time it felt like it would.
I've been reassured by my GP and psychologists that it just won't happen, but the last time i had any reassurance like that was 6 months ago. I even had a panic attack while at the doctors office and the doctor reassured me nothing was going to happen. I can't help but think things might have changed now and i could suddenly get psychosis or something when i panic.
I want to be a 100% sure so i can finally stop fearing it.. How do i know i won't lose my mind? All my anxiety and panic attacks revolve around this fear
