the other side of anxiety

[queenapplehorse]

so I just wanted to know if anyone else has any symptoms like mine. so I have almost completely gotten rid of the physical symptoms of anxiety but it seems the more those go away the crazier my thoughts get. I've been having terrible thoughts about my family, I'm so afraid that I'm going to wake up and be someone different  and do somthing terrible. plus I haven't been dreaming terrible situations but more "spacing off" and thinking horrible things. all I've seen for symptoms is terrible dreams not really terrible "daydreaming" I don't like using the word daydreaming but it fits the best. also I'm so afraid of starting to hallucinate for no reason and I think about the possibility of my food being poisoned all the time. It's a really terrible feeling and I just wanted to know if other people thought this way also, and please don't tell me to go get help immediately if this sounds strange to you it will only make me freak out worse. so please just comment if you have similar thoughts and feelings. and yes I'm going to see a theripist but I can't until July 2nd.

Yup. Been there. HORRIBLE thoughts filled my head during the day as you mentioned.  Not at night.

Very common, very normal for anxiety. I've thought it all, that I'd harm my kid, that I'd kill my cat, that I'd set the house on fire, that I'd hurt myself, that I was going crazy, that I was bi-polar , that I was schizpphrenic, that I could do this or that then that I couldn't do this or that....eventually when the anxiety was delat with either with medications or by sleeping it off for me, or by passing of time, then all thoose thoughts went away.

what else can i say but, been there..done that. Ive had plenty of days where i thought i was going crazy, going hurt people, becoming someone else, wierd thoughts, daydreaming, etc. Theres were times when i heard the word schitzophernia or bi-polar and would  have a panic attack thinkin i had that..but when the anxiety subsided i could thnk bak and realise that thats all it was...all i could tell u is that anxiety never made me into someone iam not or make me hurt someone..I think once u begin to realize that all it is is anxiety ..u can get over it much easier..It also has to do with control..u mite be a contol freak and thinking about losing control is ur worst fear and triggers u have anxiety..
