Really Scared

I talked to my therapist a month ago about the same thing and she basically told me that anxiety disorders & likes (Panic/Anxiety disorder, OCD, Social Anxiety, PTS disorder, etc) are different problems and they can't turn into Psychosis and Schizophrenia. It's technically impossible, she said.

We think like that because we worry that our anxiety will increase so much, in the end we will develop a more serious problem.
But nothing will happen :) It's always possible to treat OCD with medication and CBT. Try relaxation methods, breathing techniques.

I hope you feel better soon, keep us updated.

HMH,

This is a very common worry among anxiety sufferers...but as Rrakkma and Hibee mentioned...

...anxiety/OCD do not develop into pyschosis, but will respond well to self-help and therapy coping skills!

...and what you read about people with OCD being more predisposed to later developing schizophrenia?

I have not hear that, so it must be such as small percentage as to be negligable...and nothing to worry about.;)

Try to keep your focus on recovery, rather than worry!
