Not sure if this is the right place but here goes.
I'm 28 and seem to have suffered with anxiety/depression since 2001.
Back in 1999/2000 when I was at college I experimented with recreational drus. Mostly cannabis but also tried LSD and Ecstacy a cople of times each. I had the worst experience ever on LSD. It was horrible. I felt like I was losing my mind it was awful. Looking back i'm scared it might have been a pyschotic experience rather than just a bad trip?
Since then I got pretty bad anxiety and had a huge fear of coming into contact with drugs incase the same thing happened again.
I guess it's not possible to have a psychotic experience and jst snap out of it? My friends would have noticed something other than the fact I was freaking out a bit?
Most recently I have a massive fear of going mad or developing bi polar or schizophrenia. Basically a really severe mental illness. I have been told it's health anxiety.
I'm just looking for reassurance I guess that my fears are unrealistic.
I have a happy marriage and good family. All these people would know if something more was wrong?
