This question goes to "Lucijana L" (or anxiety sufferers)?

Hello Lucijana. I read your question about the feeling of "getting crazy". I also suffer from anxiety and last week I got this strong thought that I was going to become crazy. It was really scary. I related it to the anxiety I am suffering. I wanted to know if you have gotten more of this feelings of getting crazy, and how have you managed to prevent this to happen again. (Anyone else that have a useful answer is welcome)
Answer:
I have nightmares of being crazy too. I've had anxiety my whole life and I'm always anxious and nervous. I've recently gotten help for my problems and now taking meds. I'm just always worried that nothing will help and I'll eventually be crazy. I just want to be normal again. Thank god I finally went to my doctor recently and am now receiving help.
I take Topamax for my PD (Panic Disorder) which is a type of anxiety disorder. It works pretty well.
I am on Wellbutrin and occasional Ativan to ward off my anxiety disorder, or panic disorder. My ex left me last August and I realy think I lost my mind for a while. I felt like I was trying to crawl out of my own skin. i had panic attacks, crying fits, anger, sadness and depression..all rolled into one.

The meds have helped with a little therapy and positive reinforcement from family and friends. You also have to have the ability to reason with yourself to know when you are moving into one of these episodes.

Hopeit works out ok and hope my answer will help you. Good luck!
