I have had anxiety my whole life, but it's gotten worse in the last year and it went from anxiety to panic attacks and now i have been having obsessive thoughts and i keep thinking i am going crazy cause these thoughts and images i have scare me so bad, has anyone with anxiety and panic disorder have weird creepy thoughts of feeling you are surrounded be evil or bad spirits and images of theses as well? i feel like i am losing my mind. i was also having hallucinations..just one random word every so often nothing like people talking or anything like that. for example i am sitting there and i hear the word CAN'T or WHAT, not sure but i have chronic stress too. Is this just part of the anxiety, panic and ocd? thanks!
 
It certainly sounRAB like OCD fueled by anxiety and panic. It also sounRAB like it
 
thank you! yeah i have been doing a lot better this week. I'm not sure if you have ever heard of The Linden Method? but it's for anxiety sufferers and it's helped me so much. thanks for taking the time to write me i will try and get therapy too.:)
 
Yes, I have heard about the Linden Method, but have not read it myself. I definitely agree with alternative methoRAB of treatment besides medications. Sometimes it takes the medication first to get your mind in the right place to be open to other alternatives.
 
I haven't heard of the Linden Method, but I am so glad it's working for you! I say to whatever works best for you :)

Definitely sounRAB like all of those can be stress/anxiety/OCD. They can often build on each other and come hand in hand. I get similar thoughts at times and it really upsets me. I've been improving greatly with the help of various lifestyle changes I've made and taking Prozac. I feel a million times better and will stick with my plan! I used to get obsessive thoughts quite often and felt it difficult to stop thinking so much, even if I was doing many other things to help with my anxiety. Prozac seems to really help my mind not get too focused on things. Unfortunately I was having some odd dreams that were pretty creepy and would bother me throughout the day! Now I can just let them go and keep busy with something else.

I wish you the best of luck and hope the Linden Method continues to work well for you!
 
sharsharbinks26,

Yes I know exactly what you are feeling when I first got anxiety attacks when I was almost 17.

They were similar to what you are having I felt like spirits or demons were attacking me. I used to get feelings like preminotion of my own death, I used to just lie in bed and be so scared for no good reason.

And when I say scared, my mind was in such a staigh of fear and anxiety that at the time as much as I was fearing death I used to have suicidal thought just cause I could not imagine living like that for the rest of my life.

I thought I was going to Skitzo and also thought that maybe I heard voices as well. It was a crazy time.

And its long story but as much as I needed a doctor because of the way my mom reacted to this when I told her what was going on with me, she refused and told me I need to grow up and a doctor is not going to do anything for me.

And honestly as much as I resented her for rejecting me like that had she indulged me, I may never have gotten over it and maybe still been going to a Phyciatrist and be on permanent medication.

After about 6 months or so of just everyday horrible suffering I turned to God and Lord is my savior and I believe it saved me from my terrible suffering.

I started to get better little by little everyday, by 21 I would say I was pretty much over with the attacks!!!!
