I did suffer a bout of phycosis due to high anxiety whilst in hospital whilst i did not realise my thinking was not normal it only lasted for about 4 days, once i came out of it i was able to discuss it with the doctors about it they were able to discuss it with me and explain it was only due to the anxiety and thatit dosent last long. Iv,e had anxiety for 16 years and this is the only time iv,e ever had it.
Sit down and talk with your family/hubby ect about phycosis and its symptoms so that they would no you were not feeling right and could get you to the doctors , this should eliviate some of your worry about it. Like i say it,s not something that happenns often , it will probably never happen to you so try not to google and fixate on it. Go for a walk, watch a good movie, curl up with your pets if you have any, just do some nice things for yourself to take your mind of this subject.

You are not alone! I have also had this same fear! When my anxiety is at its worse, i often feel like i am "losing my mind" or "going crazy". But that is the nature of anxiety. If you are not on anything for your anxiety, i recommend considering a prescription medication or herbal supplement.

talking to a therapist may help..They may teach you different strategies to overcome these fears of psychosis. Regular exercise is also a great idea!!!

A while back I started to hear voices but when I went to the doctor he said high anxiety can cause this, he assured me that it was anxiety. Once I looked it up, anxiety can actually mimic other illnesses.
I've kind of had the same fear especially when I experienced that, thank god it didn't last long!
Maybe talk to your doctor, maybe therapy would help.

Anxiety can play tricks on the mind, this may sound strange to say but sometimes the psychosis is necessary as it is a distraction from a intense panic, but other times the mind is working overboard. Do you do any art work, creative writing, etc. Sometimes it is good to give a voice, face, description etc. to the fears, this con-during up a vision or description can actually make the (anxiety monster) less real not more real as the worst is in front of you just another form of facing fears

As everyone has said, you are far from being alone. I have a lot of anxiety due to my home situation, but lately I am also experiencing Panic Attacks right along with the anxiety. Fortunately my doctor had given me a prescription of Xanax and when my Panic starts, I will take one of those because they work immediately where as the Ativan takes 15 minutes under the tongue or 30 minutes when swallowing. I hope you can find the support you need here and there are also other sub groups that may help you and ease your mind as well. Hugs GB
