Fear of Losing your anxieties

Have you ever been afraid of no longer having your anxieties?

I am really struggling to take the next step in unchaining myself from my anxieties, one minute I want to live life without their constant involvement and then the next I feel so scared and don't even want to imagine life without them.

Deep down i know I want to find a more rewarding life, it's just the fear that is freaking me out

I am so confused @ how I to overcome this

Your fear is talking. As you get better at handling your anxiety the fear of living without it will fade. Just keep walking forward in your goal to get rid of the anxiety.

I had the same problem when I was faced with taking anti-anxiety meds. You want it gone, but you're afraid of what your life will become without it. I agree with gaylegg; it IS the fear talking. In order to get better, you need to let go and trust that your life will get better.

Ya. I think you get used to things how they are and maybe attach yourself to those anxieties. For a long time I was super depressed and right when I'd start to feel a glimpse of happiness I'd get scared and sad all over again. It's hard to let go of the way things are.

I totally understand this. I'm going to my first psychiatrist visit to go on meds soon and I am really scared because part of my wants to go on the meds because my anxiety makes me so depressed and suicidal but the other part doesn't because I am a straight A student and really what other people would call "successful" and i am afraid of what I will turn in to without the meds.

I've just overcome a struggle with the same set of issues. It took me 8 days to finally come to the realiazation that perhaps there was a better life waiting for me if I just took the meds. I'm day 4 into them now.
