Anxious Thinking

Hi everyone i seem to find myself on here almost everyday as i have stopped having physical symptoms and the anxiety has now started to affect my thoughts im having irrational thoughts that scare the hell out of me and then i begin to think im going crazy and imagine myself in a mental home and im scared im going to act crazy infront of my family :(i feel like its just getting worse and that im never going to be normal again i cant believe that just 5 months of anxiety has done this to me, can someone please shed some light onto this, will i ever get better or is it going to get worse? Thanks

Ps, im not taking any medication

Hi Kiran,

Anxiety can cause both physical symptoms and anxious thoughts!!

However...just as the physical symptoms are NOT representative of the illnesses they cause us to fear...

...neither can the anxious thoughts develop into any further mental illness...it can simply become worsening anxiety!

So fight back! !

In our Resources we have therapy worksheet downloads that can help you work through your fearful thoughts.

Give this exercise a try, and I think you'll find yourself feeling better!
