Many community members shared that they live with a deep, daily fear of losing control, with several describing panic in public places, racing worst-case thoughts, and the feeling that their mind could just erase itself. A recurring theme was how anxiety feeds on itself, where trying to calm down only makes the fear worse, and how isolating this experience can feel. Members found real comfort in realizing they are not alone in this fear, with many expressing relief just from seeing others speak openly about it.

I always have a fear of losing control. I think that's common with this diagnosis. Anyone else feel that way???

I have that feeling more times than I can count. One Dr recommended Ketamine treatment for my depression. I was so afraid of doing or saying something while high that I refused,several times. Finally I left that Dr.

Oh yes. It is the fear of losing control that makes my anxiety so frightening. I am afraid of causing a scene in public.
