It never ends ...

I'm so sick of this anxiety everyday is the same.

I can't function properly
I can't take long showers because I feel like I will die
I need to eat certain amounts or drink certain amounts or I'll think about it all day
I have a weird fear of passing out so naturally when I'm at school and in the halls I all of a sudden lose feeling and feel like passng out
Note.. I have never passed out before
I keep thinking about how crazy and messed up I am.
I have no hope of this ever ending
I can't do this anymore

Why do people with anxiety feel like they are going crazy? How can I make it stop?
I know I'm not but any action I do, I think about it afterwords and ask if a crazy person would ask that or sasy that. Trying to keep strong I have a 6 month old son and trying to finish school for him and be the best mom possible but its very hard

Some help please

no, you're not crazy. we all have or have had these same feelings at some point. i myself can identify with 5 things u named off that list. and it does get better. as you begin to understand what's going on with your body and realize you're not crazy and also that there r others like u. millions of ppl around the world with the same feeling. have you ever considered going to a counselor? I'm not suggesting medicine (i know some people arent in favor of that), but I am suggesting talking with a professional that is trained in dealing with panic/anxiety. that could make you feel so much better, especially with a young son, i think it would help alot to relieve some of your fears.

i hope what i wrote makes sense. it's very late as i write this, and im kinda sleepy.

good luck honey

I can also relate to what you wrote.  I actually told my Dr. I was going crazy.  I told my therapist I was afraid I was losing my mind and couldn't take care of my son anymore if I didn't know how to take care of myself.   Therapy is helping me.  I still feel very fragile and the smallest unexpected thing can send me into a panic attack out of nowhere.  I'm sorry you are having to also deal with this scary disorder, I'm new to this forum and to GAD I'm still scared, but, see that there is hope!
