Can I turn my Anxiety into Schizophrenia??

Guest

Hi recently I have been feeling very anxious all the time. I was diagnosed with generalized anxiety and my main constant fear is that I going to make it worse and make myself become schizophrenic. I don't hear voices or have any of the signs..but since my personality is so obssessive it is easy for me to make myself think I am. Lately I have been having alot of problems sleeping at night and I am constantly panicked. I know the reason is my anxiety but is it possible to turn it into something more? please help!

I have a fear of the same, I think its just part of Anxiety attacks / Disorder, you think the WORST.... and once you get passed the idea of death, this is pretty much the worst.. I believe is all mental. I am going through the same thing right now, and its not fun.

Leafy is right. It is all about how you are improperly processing your thoughts which is part of the anxiety disease/curse. I used to have panic disorder which I am finally getting over thanks to the skills I learned in my cbt group. Pick up a copy of been there, done that? Do this! By sam obitz (tao3.com) and start doing the tea form exercise and you will learn how keep from going into a panic cycle over irratiuonal thoughts and physical symptoms that are not dangerous. You just have to learn how to train your brain to interupt the panic cycle that makes the symptoms worse. If you can afford it join a cbt group too. Good luck and realize you can get better. I have been told that there has never been a single case of anxiety turning into schizophrenia and that they are totally different diseases.
