I have so felt that way too many times....but I have gotten really mad at this and I put my foot down!!! I told myself no more of this ......you are just making yourself sicker....you have got to get better for your self and your loved ones...don't do this to yourself no more! And you know what?? I made myself no matter how painful it was do things I thought I couldn't ....and know I'm getting better everyday....anxiety is with us everday but we are the ones in control of our lives.....this monster will not kill us!! Just scare tha heck out of us, but I am stronger than it is and you are too!! Show this monster you are in control and you will end up on the other side dancing......

You are not going insane. Anxiety is putting negative thoughts in your head. Tell Anxiety to get out of your head. You can use choice words if you wish. Everyone feels like this from time to time. If you have not been on Prozac long it may be you are having side effects. If so phone the doctor.

I realised you did not say you were on Prozac - apologies dont know where I got that assumption from!

I still feel like this right now :( im still scared that im going insane.

I've felt that way before, I literally thought i was going to die last week because I had a stomach bug... :/ I know it's scary and stuff but stressing and worrying about it just makes it worse, Drink a nice cup of tea or take a nice hot shower/bath or even talk a walk outside if it's not too hot, You need to distract yourself from those scary feelings.. and I promise you will be okay, Those feelings will fade away in time..

It really is just mental. I know it. I've felt that way before. Slow down, drink some water, close your eyes. Breath slowly. Don't focus on thinking that you're going insane, focus on RELAXING. Take a nap. If you need to, take a sleep aid, or benadryl or something. You're not going insane. I've felt that way before and it scared me, but the feeling passed. Go see someone, a friend if you can!!! Go be with people!!

I know what you mean. I went through this last night...I thought I was going crazy. I know its easier said than done, but try to take comfort in knowing it is the anxiety talking. I read something earlier today that helped a little. It said if you have the capacity to think you are going crazy, you arent. I hope that helps a little.

If you were going insane or insane you would not know this. It is your some very bad intrusive thoughtsif your feeling overwhelmed perhaps a visit to your doctor could put you mind at ease.

That dreaming but wide awake feeling is called dissociating. I know, it's really, really scary. It's happened to me 3x b4 & all I could do was wait 4 it 2 go away. Once I called my mom & she came over & I just cried & hugged her & that seemed to help a little. I know it seems absolutely impossible 2 calm down when ur feeling like that but u hafta try becuz the panic is only going 2 make it worse. Just close ur eyes & breathe slowly & tell urself ur ok, that everything is going 2 be ok. This may sound annoying when ur feeling like that but please just try it, keep trying it, & eventually it will go away.

Hey are you doing any better?

Not really... I feel worse actually... i am so terrified i am loosing my mind... i feel like i am dreaming :(

You are not alone. I have felt that way before and it scares me to think I could one day feel that way again. Mine was so bad it drove me to check myself into the hospital for a few days. You are not insane ... you just have wonky chemical reactions going on in your brain. You are not insane. What is happening to you is physical, not mental. Again, try to remember you are not alone and most people in this group have gone through the same thing, including me and have come out on the other side, as will you! Hang in there!
