Anxiety Support Group

I don't imagine anyone is really watching you. Your mind is playing tricks on you and the more you think about it the more you feel freaked out.
Have you talked to your doctor? are you on any meds for obsessive thoughts? SSRIs are very good for that...the obsessive thoughts and anxiety.

anxiety can play some heavy duty tricks with your mind...
i suggest you see a doc, and tell him the thoughts and feelings you are having.....
good luck!!!

I am on cymbalta.. I was on clonazepam...which my psychiatrist prescribed me..but I no longer see him.. and My md will not write a rx for my clonazepam.

Writing things down is very helpful and just knowing there is a place to go to do that is a comfort because a lot of other people have the same feelings and maybe it is new to you but knowing you are not alone is, at least for me, settling. My anxiety pattern started looong before internet was around, I finally found a group for therapy and that was extremely beneficial, then they invented Prozac, so I've been fine for years, but unfortunately, or maybe not, you never do forget how it feels, and it does make a strong impact on your life, or I would not have even looked up this group so many years later. My anxiety was the opposite, mornings, until mid afternoon, then fine at night, only to be the same in the am, and I had no idea what was going on. Lots of work to overcome and not always pleasant, but there is a light.

I can totally relate to this. When my anxiety is bad I often find myself having the most horrible disturbing thoughts and feelings of dread and impending doom. Really though it's just the anxiety bluffing your mind. Meditation helped me with this and learning to accept the thoughts as just 'silly thoughts' not real.

If you dwell on them and worry about them they persist. Pay them no mind but don't fight them. Let them come and let them go and understand you are not going crazy, it's just your sensetised mind bluffing you.

It's just all those fight or flight chemicals doing their thing. Try to exercise each day and give the chemicals what they want. If you use them for exercise, they'll be used up a little maybe and not be so strong at night. Well, that's what mine do anyhow. Good luck.

YOU ARE SO NOT ALONE I AM SCARED MOST OF THE TIME I FEEL AS IF SOMEONE IS TRYING TO GET ME SOME PEOPLE THINK IT IS FUNNY BUT I THINK IT IS VERY SCARY.. I SHAKE , I AM AFRAID TO GO OUT UNLESS SOMEONE IS WITH ME I COULD GO ON AND ON BUT I WOULD BE TYPING FOREVER I JUST WANT YOU TO KNOW THAT YOU ARE NOT ALONE

Hey your not silly, its good to talk about your fears, and everyones is diffrent but very real to them. I regulary feel things are going to happen, to my kids, family and myself. recently i would not let my son go swimming cos i had these terrible thoughts. keep yourself safe anyway and maybe go see your dr. Your not losing your mind,or ive lost mine long time ago.

ahh, that sounds just like me. for quite awhile when i was home alone or just at home during the night i always felt like someone was watching me through the windows or breaking into the house. i would just have to tell myself, nothing like this has happened ever so why would it? i dont have any advice really on how to get rid of the feelings, it's just something that went away for me.

My mind can do a number on me if I allow it to. That is key "if I allow it to." I am learning to keep it under control finally and it is a lot of work, but it can be done.
