Hi,

as I’ve posted on other threads I have massive anxiety that I am going insane and developing a serious mental illness like schizophrenia, today as I was driving I started having these thoughts that I’m delusional and everything around me is just my imagination and nothing is real, it let me to have a panic attack and it terrified me that I had these thoughts, I don’t believe it but it t terrified me, where do these thoughts come from and can it be me losing touch with reality?

thank you.

Hi FearlessLFC,

Thank you for your post. I can imagine how distressing it would have been and I'm glad that you decided to chat about it here.

I replied to one of your other posts about when you have anxiety and the sense of being drunk/high - often the sense of losing touch with reality can often be referred to as 'dissociation'.

Have you ever chatted about how things are going with a GP or a therapist?
