I suffer from a panic disorder, about a
year ago I had expeirenced a panic attack
and during that time it felt like I was
going to go crazy, I know its a normal
reaction to the condition, after that I
felt depressed for about 2 months after
talking vitamins, herbs, cleanses I
snapped out of it and felt normal but just
3 months a ago I have been constantly
fearing that im going to loose my mind and
go insane, my anxiety attacks are gone,
its only the fear, its talking over me soo
much that its putting me into
derealization. I keep overthinking and I
also keep thinking of things like what am
i, what is the mind and how it does it
work and I just keep thinking of these
weird and scary thoughts, it makes me very
depressed sometimes and it changing my
whole perspective on life. Im 18 and
starting university in a month any
suggestions that can help me feel normal.

I kind of went through the same thing and
every day I would have shortnes of breath
and my head woudl eventually hurt althouhg
I think it was more my neck. Do you have
any problems driving or walking? I
finally had enough and went to my doctor
and just broke and told her what was going
on. Lucklily for me she went through the
same thing herself. She put me on
lexapro and then gave me a mild muscle
relaxer to take when I go to bed. This
has so far helped me out. I would go to
your doctor, dont be like me and afraid to
go for like 4 years and live with this as
it can be fixed.

I had panic and I worried about everything
until I learned how to change the way I
think and process things in my head
through the exercises I learned in my cbt
group. The cbt book we used in my group
is short and straight forward it's called
been there, done that? Do this! By sam
obitz. See if your library has a copy and
give the tea form exercise a try I think
it will help you deal. Also see if your
uni's psyche dept has cbt groups you could
join.
