I always have a fear of losing control. I think that's common with this diagnosis. Anyone else feel that way???
So glad to see this posted! This is also my fear daily! I feel like my mind is like a blackboard and everything coul be erased! So scary!!
Oh yes. It is the fear of losing control that makes my anxiety so frightening. I am afraid of causing a scene in public.
I'm very afraid of losing complete control I tell my family everyday that my nickname is rice Krispies cuz imma bout to snap crackle pop but they keep on messing with my mind and won't stop I actually think that they want me to snap and wind up in an insane sylem with rubber walls
Every time I feel the slightest anxiety, I feel like I'm going to lose my mind and never return to a stateof normalcy. I think of all the worst-case scenarios, and I try to focus on calming down. And then that just makes my anxiety worse.
