Hi, I'm new here, I hope I'm posting in the right place. Does
anyone ever have "normal" days? Sometimes I do and it
scares the heck out of me. Like yesterday was actually a
pretty good day, I was still a bit anxious but overall I was
happy. Then I had bad dreams last night (about "being
crazy"), woke up today anxious, and now I'm freaking out! I
have looked into bipolar (in fact I'm rather obsessed with it)
but I never have any symptoms of mania or even hypomania,
nor do I have severe depression (sometimes I'm mildly or
moderately depressed). I'm terrified of bipolar and
schizophrenia (i.e. "going crazy"). I know that's a symptom of
anxiety but I can't seem to let it go! My moods fluctuate, I can
be terribly anxious or sort of okay. This scares me more than
the anxiety itself!!! Can anyone help??? I take Xanax
sometimes, it helps, but my emotions/moods are scaring me.
Funny thing is, the people at work think I'm the calmest
person there!!! Can anyone relate?
Thank you, Cobu
