I have not felt this way before, i just know that I am going to make it.
I .. I have been through so much chaos with overwhemlming though, Fear of what going to happen, what is wrong with me i sit spaced out with fear surrounding me.
First, i have been through growing not knowing, well the last year if im ok, you know.
Even right now im typing in a very still anxiety state, i feel i cant even move. Im afraid that what im thinking is not right, im thinking there is something wrong, im thinking that i feel im growing but afraid.
Im so scared right now that im going to crazy im paralyzed, im sitting so still looking at this screen, not knowing what is to happen.
Fear is many things, but it gets to a point where it is so intense it makes stillness.
I dont know, i just know that life is here, and im here. And i am going to make it.
Please pray i will go back to normal, please.
Matt

So did I. I wish I could give you a big hug for encouragement - you are fighting a lot of things. Glad to hear you strong at the end. If you believe you'll make it there, you will.
Are you working with a dr? Or are you on your own...
I am wishing you peace and strength. Don't forget we care,
Suzie

Hi Matt
I do know how you feel- from the time I was 17 to about 30 I went through a very scary, long period of being certain I was crazy insane. I had debilitating panic attacks and anxiety and could not think straight. It took me a really long time to believe that what I had was anxiety and that I wouldn't die, I wouldn't all of a sudden "lose it"- even though I was again sure that I would. I was scared to take medication and just getting up the courage to trust my Dr.'s medication recommendations took me years.
Finally, Finally, over the past 10 years (I'm 40) I have gotten on medications (it took a long time to find the combo that worked) and today I can say that I know that anxiety, panic, racing thoughts, etc. won't drive me crazy and that I am okay. I still live with anxiety, which is better most of the time, but I still have to manage through. But I am and today I know that the wide spectrum of feelings means the Good and the Bad....
I will include you in my prayers and pray for God to provide you guidance and protection.
I too believe you will be okay.
Best Wishes,
Shelly

Matt I just said a prayer for you.
It it's any consolation, thinking that you are crazy is a common symptom of anxiety, it's a feeling not a fact. It doesn't mean you are really "crazy" in that sense of the word. But I have had that feeling too.
