I feel like I'm slowly going crazy

I've seen people post that if you think your going crazy then your actually not...

But I really think that I am, I don't feel right at all. Had some awful dreams, feel like my heads completely messed up :(

Thanks Hibee, not seeing a therapist but think I might ask the doctor about referring me to one next time I go..

Just hate not having control over my feelings, been a long time now since I've felt 'normal', can't even remember what it feels like...

Hi Hibee,

Have you ever considered telephone counselling? I know there's a UK counselling service called Oran Mor Counselling who offer confidential telephone counselling which might be helpful for you.

Kind Regards,

Ryan

Hi CT,

I have read that it is about 50/50 in regards to the percentage of people who fear either health issues, or losing their sanity, in regards to anxiety fears.

We are definitely more heavy on the health anxiety side here...but I think that it's simply a matter of more people talk about this...so know that you are not alone in your worry.

We have some worksheets in our Resources that challenge fearful thoughts...have you tired these? These are pretty much identical to the ones a therapist would have you do...so getting a jump start with these could really be beneficial. Would you like me to post the link?

Keep looking to meet your recovery goals...we are there with you in support!

S.C.

I'm so sorry you're going through this. I feel like I'm going to go crazy or even have a nervous breakdown. We're all here for you.

CT, I heard in a movie or book somewhere that crazy people dont know they're crazy. Similar to what you just said, but it's comforting. As anxiety sufferers, we tend to think that our thinking is abnormal, and therefore were "crazy" or "going crazy."

You just have to remind yourself these are symptoms of anxiety. Not symptoms of anything more than that

I like Ryans suggestion, I had to do this last month, I felt so bad that I knew I must be losing my mind, on the back of my Insurance card I have a mental crisis number, and I can call and talk to a nurse or clinician that specializes in Mental illness, after speaking with her and her listening to how I felt and having that chance to tell someone "I think I am going CRAZY", and having them tell you that you are not, and helping you through the feelings you are feeling, that your okay, can help a lot.
