should i be worried or is this just my anxiety

[lynn100]

hi i wanted to know what kind of thoughts people think when they have anxiety. i know i am sitting here freaking myself out because my dad had mentioned something about schizophrenia and i just had to research it because it scared me. i'm not sure but can you just randomely get schizophrenia or are you born with it. they say it's genetic but noone that i know of in my family has that but i'm still freaking out. i'm just really scared and need something to make me feel better. they say it developes around eighteen and i'm sixteen but itstill really scares me i don't want to be a person who hears voices or any of that stuff. up until a month ago i was perfectly fine and was happy and wanted to go out and do things all the time and around april 1st i got horrible sinus headaches and they lasted for a week and ever since then i've had anxiety. and the littlest things scare me and i'm so scared i'm gonna start hearing voices and end up schizophrenic can someone please help ease my mind just a little.

I also have a huge fear of schizphrenia. Dont be alarmed though because it is anxiety and with anxiety usually you have some ocd which I do.When you fear something you cant help but think about it constantly.The sinus thing was just the catalyst for your anxiety.

The sinus issue? Could be anything from a sinus infection? Down to a deviated septum, which is a narrow passage way within your sinus.

Schizophrenia? Is a scarey thing to think about. But do not let the 'fear' run your life. My mother has it. She is on a lot of medication for it.

I'd say go to a dr, and talk to them about your concerns. If you are an outgoing person? Don't let this fear control your life.

As Lynminx states ...talk to your doctor about your symtoms .
Did a doctor check out your sinus headaches?  If not get it check out.  Serious headaches with side effects should be looked into.
Good luck

Sinus headaches are not a symptom of schizophrenic. I don't see why he would have mentioned that in the first place. If this started with the headache, you need to find the cause of them. It could be as simple as allergies.

You need to take a few deep breathes to calm your self. My mom gets paranoid when she gets a cough or flu. And she researches all the diseases she could possibly have and then stressed herself out for nothing. This is all this is, paranoia. It's normal, you just have to take hold of it and not let it get any worse. Talk to a doctor or a friend about it.
