Here is my story for the past month ive had this fear that im going to develope schizophrenia because i read about it on the internet. This fear got so bad that i had to go see a theraist and she diagnosed me with a mild depression and mild anxiety. Is this just my anxiety messing with my head thinking that im going to get schizophrenia? This fear is stuck in my head and it makes me feel sad and down.. It seems like im the the only person who is worried aboutgetting schizophrenia since it can effect anyone at anytime. Ive had thoughts about killing myself if i develope schizophrenia Only if i develope it but why am i so worried about this illness i wasnt worried before why now? Im 25 years and im so afraid that im going to develope schizophrenia and lose my mind. My family has no history of any mental illness but the idea that there still might me a chance of getting it makes me feel sick to my stomac. Ive seen a therapist about it but i dont want to take meds. What do you people suggest i do to stop thinking like that? Its driving me crazy thinking like this
