Do you rerember when, about 2-1/2 years ago when i thought i was going to die that i was going insane.
Im not saying maybe this is happening to you but its like a "cluster" of anxiety, with some thoughts that intrude you thinking your going crazy. Im not crazy today, which i thought i was on the egde of going insane. By the way i had my MRI done, i havent had any doctors look at the resuls but, listen, its a cluster of thoughts that plague your mind, it turns into a feeling of insanity. I had it. Im 19.
I know the word "antipsychotic" sounds absurd but 5mg of maybe Zyprexa i almost am certain will block out thoughts that are plagueing you. 10mg i would say is the max for a person with anxiety, maybe you can ask if you can take valium with zyprexa. Or switch to Xanax, and zyprexa. Thats what i take.
Seeing a doctor and a therpist may help, but find a therpist that is good for you, maybe psychodynamic? which is more Frued therpist, or CBT.
Ask your doctor for some samples of Zyprexa. Try them out.
Also stimulants may help, now this really sounds aburd, but i was Dexedrine and i felt confident, focused and tuned out irrational fears. But that is just a post-option im giving you. Dont take this one for granite.
Take care, now i think we have something in common.
