I'm Scared

[LeoAnon]

I'm so scared I'm gonna slip into psychosis or start hallucinating or go crazy. 🥺😴 I don't wanna go crazy

Sorry to know you feel this way. My heart also sometimes beats fast for no reason. I feel anxious for no reason. I feel like things around me are not real. I feel like I am crazy sometimes. But remember you are not alone and we are here to support you.

wow. It's such an awful fear. Sometimes I wish I would worry about other things.

There is no reason any of those things will happen to you. Nervous fatigue always makes us think the worst possible scenario is going to happen but it never does.

If any of these things were going to happen to you they would have happened long ago as you have been mentioning them for some time.

When you feel these bad thoughts coming do the breathing exercise that you probably know about (breathe slowly in through your nose, hold 5 seconds then blow slowly out through pursed lips and repeat for 5 minutes. This releases natural tranquilisers and reduces the flow of cortisol (a fight or flight hormone too much of which causes high anxiety).

Easy to say stay calm I know but try to relax and remind yourself you are in no danger.

When I was in the shower last night I felt like things looked smaller than they are and I thought I was going crazy... Thankyou for your reply.

Our eyes can play tricks on us too due to anxiety and jangled nerves. When you eventually recover from your high anxiety all these bad thoughts and symptoms will pack their bags and leave you in peace😃
