Hi everyone, I am 23 years old and I've been dealing with anxiety ever since I was 13 (on and off). I always Obsess Over many things like when I was younger I convinced my self I was possesed, had cancer, had a brain tumor and even thought I was going to have a heart attack. When I was about 15 I started to have intrusive thoughts about things that where totally against my values. I struggled so much but I never told anyone. Because of those thoughts I thought I was a bad person. I thought I was going to go insane because of the thoughts I remember telling myself that I was going to start hearing voices and even start to see things. Anyway, I had that fear for about 3 months And then at one point I think I did actually started to hear my name being called, but I don't know if it was because I was obsessesing over it or not. Anyway, I spent many years like that with hearing or thinking I was hearing my name at random times. At 20 years of age I forgot all about the voices and I when on to college and didn't really have any of the symptoms. Now at 23 I have the same symptoms. Except, now they are more pronounced. It all started after a very stressful situation where I thought I was going to have a heart attack and I rushed to the ER where they told me that it was just my anxiety. Before that iincident I was having a lot of stress in my life after graduating from college and not being Able to find a job. Anyway, I spent About a month thinking i was physically sick, but after many physical tests I came to conclusion that there was nothing wrong with me. After that, I started focusing on my mental health I started freaking out and obsessing on the fact that I was crazy and that I was going to start hearing voices and seeing things . My intrusive thoughts came back and I started to think I was going insane. I then started to hear ( or think Im hearing) voices. It's been 3 months and I can't get over the fact that I'm developing schitzoprenia or something similar to that I don't know what to make of this. I do see a therapist and I've told him about the tthoughts in my head and the voices that I think I hear and he just said Its my anxiety. I don't have any schitzoprenia in my family or anything to do with mental illnes la but I can't help to think that I'm slowly becoming crazy. Please help it just want to go back to the person I was.
