Q: Fearing insanity
asked by: mikey v on October 20th, 2006

Im 18 years old and I have had alot of bad anxiety attacks over this year, the anxiety attacks are gone but from all of them it feels like my mind has been damaged. For the last 4 months I have feared insanity, it might be putting me into derealiztion. I feel depressed sometimes and I just keep overthinking too much and im scared I will think of something that my mind cant comphrehend and I will go crazy. Latly I have been really sketching over this, I do see little dot or flashes at the corner of my eye but I understand that depression could be the casue of that, and I few times I heard my thought abit loud before I was going to bed and it scared me. I don't have delusions but I fear I will, I don't acually see major things but I fear I will, I don't hear other voises but I fear I will im just a wreck right now. I still play sports, im attending university in a week, I act completely normal . I just have this fear with me. Please respond truthfull, if you do think it might be schizo then tell me if not tell me too, I just want some good information. Thanks

ps. I still get exited lots and laugh lots, and lots of nights just before I go to bed I almost feel normal and I go into a good state of mind and I just sort of laugh at why I felt that way, but when the morning comes the fear and feeling strang starts to come

Mikey,
it sounds to me like you are suffering from severe anxiety. This does not sound like the bipolar illness as your symptoms seen to subside at night when you are calmed and relaxed. I would see your general practitioner who can easily subscribe you an anti-anxiety medicine that will relax you during the day.
