I've always been a 'worrier' (but I have never experienced anxiety to this extent before).
Due to recent conversation with my father, regarding the health of my mother (which we have now discovered is not serious at all), myself and my GP believe that this has triggered an enormous shock of Anxiety in me. Over this weekend I could not stop crying and had a fear of impending doom, I also feel as if if im going insane. I can't get the thought of going insane out of my mind, and this is what scares me the most. I can't stop or control my thoughts. It feels like a viscous circle. I think about going insane, which then gives me a panic/anxiety attack which then makes me think I am insane OR if If carry on thinking about it, going insane is inevitable, but I can't control my thoughts, so it's going to happen anyway?. (it's very frustrating and hard to explain).
I visited the GP this morning as I could not cope with these feelings and thoughts any more. He has now put me on some Anxiety medication.
Is there any light at the end of the tunnel? and can anyone relate to my experience? and can you be rid of Anxiety? (Im 16, this experience has frightened me and this is the first time I have experienced it).
Any advice or reassurance would be much appreciated.
Thanks,
Yasmin.
