Fear of losing it!

[Sunnyboycereal]

Hello,

This is my very first post.

I have suffered on and off with GAD and a sprinkle of OCD and a dash of Hypo (nice recipe for crazy..lol) for about 10 years but been worrier most of my life.
I have a severe fear of "going crazy" more specifically the "S" word which I don't even like to say. :)
I feel foggy with extreme bouts of the inability to concentrate on much. My brain is going 200 mph in what is supposed to be 15k school zone.
I monitor my every thought, thinking "is that crazy" and suffer from the "what if syndrome" pretty bad. I also constantly forget what I was thinking about half the time which really scares me.
My racing thoughts are very odd at times going from one thing to another, not even worries or obsessions but random things which makes me believe even more so that I am going crazy.
I am at my worst when I am in the state of kind of "half asleep", my mind just cannot concentrate when I try to close my eyes and sleep or just relax and I get this nasty taste in my mouth, like metal or something.
I of course feel my best when I am busy, and I forget to even worry or think about it.
Someone please tell me I'm ok and you feel the same or have or had similar experiences, I would appreciated it!

Hi and welcome

I notice you have posted this in the GAD forum as well.  We try to keep threads as distinct to one folder otherwise it can all get very confusing and replies get littered all over the forum.  On balance, I think the best fit for your thread is the GAD folder so will lock this one to avoid confusion.

all the best
