Hey guise so after Thursday when I wrote how I felt the first time and spoke with my counselor I felt invincible like was super in control with mtg anxiety. But last night I began to panic and it came back and my friend told me how her aunt went crazy the other day. I asked her why or how and she replied "No one knows. When she work up she was just really upset and out of it". So ofcoarse I started to believe it was going to happen to me.... Like I don't know why I do this to myself. Like I wasn't afraid to go to sleep because I was exhausted last night but when my bran first kinda woke up and I was half asleep I was so sure I already was. Which if I can think that while I'm half asleep it's no way o could actually be crazy. Right?

Hi tr4y,

I am sorry you are currently experiencing this, especially after being in such a positive place following your therapy appoinment.

Please know that you are not alone in your fears! This is a common worry for many anxiety sufferers.

However, and this is a fact...

...anxiety can not turn into another more severe mental illness...

...if left untreated, it will just become worsening anxiety!

So, you have no worries as far as 'going crazy' for two reasons!

One, it just doesn't progress like you are fearing...

...and two, you ARE taking steps to treat your anxiety.

You have just hit a little bump in the road.:)

I am going to suggest you use the therapy worksheet downloads from our Resources. (see link) They will help you work through and process your worries.

Keep up the good work, and keep posting. You are on your way to feeling your best! :)
