I want to see a therapist but I am afraid they would put me away if I told them my fear. I dont know what to do. I can go days without it bothering me and then I will be afraid again. I have caught myself jerking in my sleep so I think the bed shaking might be me jerking my legs or arms. But the thoughts run wild and I am obssessed with the thought of a demon coming to get me. My mom was killed in a car accident two years ago and I had the same fear one night after she died but it didn't linger. I wonder if I am dealing with some repressed grief bc I really didn't get the chance to grieve.

((((anxietygirll))))first, many of us benefit from taking AD. so if they are helping you i'd suggest you keep taking them.
your therapist or pdoc will not think less of you for expressing the things you told us here. they are specifically there to help us get better.  i hope you will tell one of them about your fears of the demons, etc. i certainly don't think you are insane. you made perfect sense to me.
i do beleive, altho i am not a doc, that your mother's death did impact your life. this is another thing you may want to discuss with your pdoc or T.
i hope you will keep us posted on how you are doing.  we care a lot for you!!
