I have depression and have an uncle with schizophrenia. When in a depressive episode, I get so scared of losing my mind I can barely sleep. Thanks for this encouragement.
I’m 16 and had developed the fears of schizophrenia and psychosis due to feeling like i was losing my mind with all the thoughts that go through my head so fast. I’ve actually been so much better than where i have been and i now know i am not going crazy! thank you so much for making this video it helps lots i swear so thankful for your videos all the time helps me go through my fears! You’re the best Cherelle 💞
@Alaina Schmidt Terrible isn’t it! I recently seen a movie where this girl was imaging that she was seeing things but those things were actually there and drove herself crazy. I’m now so scared of this 😭 hoping ill forget about it later. But thank you so much! I hope you overcome the fear completely some day! 💞
My mood is a mess I would wake up and have this urge to go out But then as soon as I am out there I would wanna be indoors I would be extremely happy now then unhappy the next min Tingling and numbness makes me scared Constant negative voices in my head It’s tough I pray and listen to music It helps
Im crying inside... i am going through this right now and im so scare, but i saw this video and the comments and now im kinda better. I have this thoughts for about 2-3 months and nothing happened to me, so guys dont panic, its just thoughts and you know, the anxiety cant bring to you this serious mental things. Stay safe and love yourself!
Thanks! I have had this fear for months and I have felt very alone because no one really understands it, but I am glad you are speaking out about it because it makes me feel understood and have more hope to achieve a good recovery ❤
I am so glad I found this video. I’ve been having anxiety stemmed from a traumatic experience and once the thought of myself going crazy came into my head it’s like I couldn’t get rid of it and all symptoms I had I would initially assume as some psychotic disorder, what brings me out of it sometimes is when I am calm I notice how present I feel and how connected I feel but it’s very difficult to stay that way lol. But these videos really help to reaffirm that I’m not alone in my feelings. Thank you.
Wow I thought I was the only person who has lost my mind, and had the thought of me going crazy. I thought there was something wrong with me but after realizing u had the thought of u going crazy, I can see that it’s normal so thanks for helping me know I’m not alone ❤❤💪
I’m scared I’ll develop something again. Just a very scary intrusive thought that came after I was sleeping, and the thought told me to do something. That scared me. I need to tell my therapist about it
My insomnia after a terrible anxiety attack was the worst. I remember sobbing and my poor husband trying to comfort me. I just kept thinking he is going to have to commit me. I was so tired and scared I was losing my mind. I just needed sleep. The things that really helped me with insomnia battle was a weighted blanket, CBD oil blend for sleep, and podcasts. Anytime I would wake up scared I would put a podcast on my headphones. It helped me feel less alone. It's like my brain recognized people talking and laughing and decided that we can't be in danger when people are just chilling out around us. I just want to also say thank you for your content. You're truly helping people and saving lives.
For everyone commenting their stories asking for help please please seek professional help, most of us here aren’t professionals. Even start by just talking to your GP and getting a referral to see a psychologist. Start journaling, meditating, cardio, nourish your body with healthy foods and redirect those nasty thoughts. For every negative thought replace it with three positive thoughts. Along with anxiety I have suffered depressive and suicidal episodes. Something I learnt that helped me begin my recovery journey is to first acknowledging that YOU are NOT your depression/anxiety you just have it, it’s an object in your possession just like your phone or your car, it’s not you and it does NOT define you, secondly, do the opposite of what your depression is telling you, use it as a guide for what you need to do e.g don’t want to get out of bed -> get out of bed! Don’t want to call your mum -> call your mum! Don’t want to go for a walk -> go for a walk! I’ve been in a really dark place before and am recovering and am so proud of myself. I never thought there was a way out but there is. Thirdly label your anxiety/depression, give it a name, I call mine the dementor, when I feel it creeping up I say “this isn’t me it’s just that annoying dementor, the dementor is making me feel this way, not me, it will pass”. Lastly HOLD ON TO THE GOOD MOMENTS even if that moment is only a few seconds in a day, hold on tight, think about that moment and how good it felt, those moments will eventually get longer and longer but acknowledge them each time they come. Chip away at it, be kind and patient with yourself. Repetition rewires the brain❤️ 🧠 You’ve got this guys! 💪🏽
This should be pinned. I’m working on journaling, exercising and shitting on my negative thoughts lol I sometimes feel bad cause I feel like I have a long ass road to go, but then again I’m 22 and deep down I know this is for the better.
Thank you for this I really needed this!! My anxiety has been at an all time high and I have developed agorophobia so you can probably imagine how bad my state of my mind is. The fear of loosing my mind and developing scizophrenia or bipolar has been what's driving my anxiety through the roof. Sometimes even just thinking about it makes me scared that being so obsessed with it is going to cause the disorder. It also doesn't help that my neighbors have scizophrenia and they have been having episodes recently where the cops have been called multiple times due to behavioral disturbances (smashing and fighting neighbors). Hang in there and we are not crazy or going to go crazy!! People who go crazy don't know that they are going crazy.
Hi Gustavo, I want to send you all my light and love because I know exactly how you feel. Trust me, I do. This year has been filled with a lot of extremely difficult anxious moments and my anxiety has reached an all time high like never before. I've also had low, depressive moments. With all this, I went on a spiral thinking that I have Bipolar disorder or that I had something else. I went on a googling rampage for months and scared myself to death. On top of that, I have had a lot of sleeping problems this year and nightmares that have only added to the stress of everything. I felt my heart sink when you wrote that you had the fear of developing schizophrenia or bipolar and being so obsessed with what is going to cause it. I have felt the exact. same. way. It has been absolute hell for me and an experience that I wouldn't wish on my worst enemy. It has taken time, therapy and possibly quitting my toxic job to take things day by day. Your last statement is also very true and has helped me during a few panic attacks I had thinking that I was having a bipolar or schizophrenic episode when I definitely wasn't.
@@chrisfernando3199 thank you so much for sharing. Time is only going to heal and your taking all the right steps to recovery. It will only get better from here. I’m literally having the exact same experience as you!!! I’m also in the process of quitting my toxic job that added to my stress. I totally relate to the anxious googling it almost felt like an addiction and it always led me to a spiral and made me feel 100x worse. I’m also currently working with my therapist to avoid all of those anxious behaviors and I can say that after two week without searching anything related to mental health I’ve already been feeling calmer and more present. So please if you can try to limit your time on social media and on Google searches they just set us back. I’ve also have dealt with some terrifying nightmares I just try to remind myself that it was just a dream and just keep yourself occupied and it becomes easier to forget. Wishing you the best in your recovery!!
I had an uncle who murdered my grandmother (before I was born). My mom (16 at the time) came home to my uncle over her mother with a knife. My uncle had suffered from severe schizophrenia sense a teen. He would often tournament his mom with stalking, physical and emotional attacks, and mailing letters to her telling her god was instructing him to kill her. On that fateful day, my mom did everything she could to stop him from killing their mother, unfortunately it didn’t help. Fast forward to my mom having me and raising me with a high degree of paranoia, anxiety and depression in the house hold, as well as numerous other things happening inside my childhood and myself becoming massively sick and bedridden for 5 years of my adult life...Dementophobia has plagued me for most of my life. General Anxiety and panic attacks are my everyday life, I so desperately don’t want to put my mom through anything else and everywhere I go, the fear of becoming my uncle scares the life out of me.
im always afraid i’ll slip into a depression and won’t be able to pull myself out. i’m so scared all the time and i have no ill feelings about myself or anything in my life just the fear of simply developing depression
Yes same, I'm even afraid of getting better because I feel like I can slip into a deep episode at any point and will have no control of getting out of it
Same here! It’s scary. I always need to remind myself that if I’m willing to fight through then I will be ok. I think of times when I was happier and think about how I can get back to that place again
it comes from a trauma/stress etc. This trauma happens in waves, from our childhood when we were helpless and lost our minds We have to work in our minds when this happens to stay rational
I'm Victor from Spain, I'm 20 years old and since I was little I have anxiety, I used to give myself in class, in restaurants, in a cinema to give some examples... well the case, it's been 2 years since I've been in this hell, on May 9, 2022 I woke up having thoughts that in my life had had of the content of hurting me, I remember that the day before I went to sleep I read a story about a boy who took his life, logic tells me that could be a possible trigger, at first I got scared because I didn't want to do that I don't even want to and I didn't know what was happening to me, I had a lot of anxiety, my chest hurt, I was short of breath, I was terrible... in the middle of that hell I thought, well, this will be a bad day and tomorrow I'll be fine, because the days were going by and it was still the same, even from the fear I had I slept even with my mother imagine... a few days after this, being in my room I missed this thought that I remember perfectly. What if I kill my mother? If after the thoughts of hurting myself it was already wrong imagine after that went through my head... literal that I couldn't even see my mother was terrible, if before I had anxiety because after thinking that I had twice as much... investigating Google I found content about intrusive thoughts and such, at that moment reading about the subject I found a phrase that helped me at that moment (you are not your thoughts) and that I literally eliminated the physical symptoms I had despite the fact that those thoughts were still there. A few days after this I went to the psychiatrist to tell him just what I'm telling in this message and he told me about impulse phobias, I went home and a few days after this in the news of Antena 3 the typical ones that give at night well, they talked about a news of a boy with schizophrenia and well what happened to me is that I literally was in shock, I didn't sleep that night, literally when I heard that it was like, I have this. I started looking for symptoms throughout the summer and a few more months, in total 4/5 months in a row day by day by Google, on RUclips videos of people with schizophrenia, videos about psychotic outbreaks, about other mental disorders and from there I'm not wrong, the following. I literally began to be aware of the sounds and for example I was watching a video on RUclips of whatever it is and if I heard something that could be outside of that video, I would go back the video to see if I listened to it again, that was an example of what I did and sometimes I continued to do it, I was aware of what I saw or if I saw things out of the ordinary, sometimes out of the corner of my eye like I see it as a flash and I scratch that you freak out in case it is a hallucination, I also read about delusions and paranoias and for Give an example, read that these people think they want to kill them and that from there I have thoughts of that style, "paranoid" thoughts although I know that they are a lie, I do not know if after everything I am telling you are finding out what happens to me or if maybe in your consultation you have had cases of this style, because in Spanish I have barely found information as if I have found it in English and they relate it to OCD called OCD Going Crazy, but literally that sometimes I doubt that this can be OCD, this seems something Serious I'm afraid that it's psychosis or schizophrenia I'm shitting I need help, it seems that I'm delirious sometimes, although I repeat I know that certain thoughts are not logical... I think that reading symptoms has fucked my head because in my life I've had these thoughts and I think I'm very suggested. 3 psychiatrists tell me that they are impulse phobias but let's go that sometimes it seems like I'm really crazy.
I'm in this place right now. It's the worst night of my life. Suicidal thoughts, high levels of anxiety. Body feels destroyed by adrenaline. My life used to be great, but somehow, anxiety has taken over, and my life feels too difficult to continue. I don't want to end my life and I'm scared to do it, but I don't know how much more I can take
This video and your entire channel in general has been such a huge help for me! Years ago I was battling health anxiety and really was struggling but it did calm down a bit and I had a time where I could enjoy life again so that was amazing! This year has been tough to say the least, dealing with loss and the anxiety that arises with that has proven to be very difficult.. I’ve been dealing with loads of health anxiety again and just today I felt like i was really losing my mind. It’s so scary to face these issues but time and time again I’ve come back to your videos and they’ve been such a huge help and comfort!!
HI CHERELLE I WENT THROUGH ALOT OF STRESS AT ONE POINT AND I WOKE UP FEELING WEIRD LIKE I WAS DISCONNECTED FROM MYSELF AND THAT I HAD LOST MY MIND I WENT TO GOOGLE AND STARTED SEARCHING WHICH I RECOMMEND NOBODY READING THIS DOES BUT IT WAS TELLING THE WILDEST OF THINGS. I JUST DON'T KNOW WHETHER I SHOULD SEE A DOCTOR IN CASE I GET TOLD SOMETHING BAD
I would suggest go see a doctor. Pple like us need professional convincing or else we’ll just keep on worrying which will not help anxiety. I suggest not trying to convince yourself that nothing is wrong, but rather recognize anxiety as only a wave and it will pass. I’m still working on it myself and I’m seeking therapy cause I need clarity to finally stop my catastrophizing . Remember thoughts are only thoughts until you give it emotion, this will help your anxiety and honestly can help you in life with stressful situations. Be in the moment. You got this, but seek further help. Therapy is good for everyone. Not just mentally ill/ disorders.
You are special... a warning to you is many many people know about this they act like they don't... its spiritual watch some closer than you do now and you will start noticing a few things especially with one's closest to you... regarding the tingling ...drips... crawling under skin.... weird phantom pains crazy thoughts and voices speaking to you. Your not alone your faith also plays a key role in handling this. When you get to read this it means your making It thru. You have way more power than you know... your imagination is to be used to combat this I personally call it the WOKE devil he/she trys to get you to believe in something so he/she can use your faith to manifest things into your life if this has been happening to you then it doesn't have you... if your around people that know about it and isn't concerned about it BE VERY AWARE OF THEM! Don't eat there food either you'll notice if they where depressed while cooking you'll get depressed after eating it. The unseen realm is there and some of us can see it. There is also a GAME ... quote the game stear clear of it some people are in it tho and they need your spiritual help but be careful of energy vampires be aware who you give spiritual energy to.
I will forever be grateful for finding your youtube a little over a year ago. its like everytime im going through something you post about exactly what im going through. i have such bad irrational fears i.e. losing my mind, outer body experiences, heart attack etc. i have severely low iron so for whatever reason my anxiety also gets 10x worse around my cycle. tonights worry is a little mixture of everything. you make it so comfortable to talk about/leave a comment on though because you make it known we arent the only ones. so thank you for being brave enough to say what others (including me) can not.
Thank you so much for your comment Hope. It means a lot to know that my videos are relatable and help somewhat! Health anxiety is so tough but we are tougher! xoxo
I'm actually a part of your Facebook group and you have a lot of people on there that are very supportive I appreciate that you made it lately I've been suffering so bad I've been reaching out for help my anxiety depression is so bad that I've been scared that I'm going to lose my mind or something :(
Thank you for the videos? And the optimism. I recently had a health scare in July. A spinal herniation and a misdiagnosis of are Grey disease which my mom died from. This sent me into a downward spiral of fearing my mortality and the suffering I would endure and put my family through. Long story short. I was misdiagnosed and do not have artery disease. My spine can heal itself and would not require surgery and now I’ve been left with the ( burning skin sensation) I don’t know if you’ve heard of it??? But after countless visits to GP and neurologist, they believe that I am in a heightened state of anxiety and stress that may be causing the physical symptoms. I thought I had MS. All the MRI’s and tests say I’m healthy. This burning all over my body and constant fear of illness has taken over my life. I’m in anxiety meds now. I’d love to think th at its physcological and that i can overcome it. Hard to believe anxiety can do all this?! Mom of two. Please help! @Cherelle Thinks

Sadly the second time to dealing with this shit. Because many information and many wrong information live on the internet about psychosis. And many-many stigma about it like: "lose your mind" "broken mind" "split mind" ect. These are not medical definition. (fuck whoever came up with these stigmaz....all my heart :) And you know there is no exist: multiple consciousness, everybody has just 1 pieces of consciousness. And the key that if you know for example: "split mind" is just an aberration...you win. I think the most important is psycho education.

I like this Vid. The point is that. That you were the state of conditions we call: "crazy" because you have psychosis because of lack of sleep (insomnia) and because of anxiety. Some have more vulnerable of psychosis can get the psychosis easyer than you, that's the different, Notting more. I read many book about the topic. (John Read: Making sense of madness, Paris Williams: Rethinking of Madness, Marius Romme: Psychosis is a personal crisis stb) and I speak with Jim van O pszichiater many times. So Skizofrenia is not a valid construct, was invented. There is no "skizo virus" so it's just a bluff. It's like I have many time depression and you say: it's cause an unidentified disease...which name is "depressinezia"....there is no illness behind it!. The fact is: our genetic is different, some people (a few) a bit more sensitive than others. (3% of population) But as you see, you can develop psychosis some short episode. EVERYBODY could. Because everybody have a little bit sensitive, but some have MORE!! "Does high blood pressure exist without blood pressure?" No. So every body have blood pressure and every body have sensitive of Psychosis. Just like I said: it depends of genetic who have more and who have less. And family history of course. When I was down and I have a lack of sleep, I couldn't develop psychosis, because I m not sensitive for this. I was just depressed....that's it.
hi! It's been a month since I had a massive panic attack because of a cannabis edible (I'm not used to THC). I've spent these last weeks going back and forth to the psychiatric center in my hospital because I'm having acute anxiety because of dementophobia. I pretty much convinced myself that all the symptoms of anxiety were actually proof I was going crazy (i thought of all the mental illnesses in the book). I'm still trying to recover. Even though sometimes I have a lot of doubts that I'm mentally sane... I've experienced brain fog and DP/DR so much that I have a lot of trouble concentrating and my memory has been pretty bad. I'm waking up with a lot of anxiety and I can clearly remember some weird dreams. It's frightening, all the thoughts that went through my mind. Suicide scares me but being disconnected from reality is way more dreadful to me. I'm trying to regain confidence that I'm not mentally disabled and that I will eventually get back to normal once I can manage my fears. This has been the lowest point of my life, truly.
Hey Khalil, I wanted to email you but didn’t find any info. I got the same exact thing. I was never a smoker or drinker. Since Covid started, I started smoking weed to bring down my anxiousness. About 8 months ago I got Covid and started getting mini anxiety so I would smoke weed to calm down but it did the opposite, instantly I all of the sudden got a really bad panic attack ( which never experienced before, or with weed it sat pretty well on me for that year until I got Covid) and I have not been the same after that. Sometimes it gets so dark idk how to say it, it’s like an error in my body and brain that doesn’t get fixed up. I want to so badly to just go back my normal and my old self but I can’t even pin point what’s going on. After that one bad panic attack I’m not the same I’ve been to ER and doctors. They all say it’s anxiety but I’ve never had it before. I’m scared of loosing it fully sometimes because of how odd and bad it feels. I just found ur comment and could relate to it. There are great days and than it hits me bad. How do u deal with it what did ur dr say?
@@dacoimad6878 sorry for my late answer, i just saw your reply today. are things getting better? do you have reddit so we can chat about it if you will?
I felt this on a different level. I smoked for three years before I had my first panic attack. Smoking made me anxious for a long time and made me act „weird“. during the panic attack I convinced myself that these anxiety symptoms and even my coping mechanisms for depression/trauma were definitive signs of dissociative identity disorder and psychosis and etc. I now am at a point were Ive sobered up completely but still feel uncomfortable in my own consciousness sometimes. However positive affirmations ( Ik it sounds basic) + distancing myself from negative people and art have helped me very much and I definitely recommend that for u.
This is me in a nutshell bruh. From depersonalization then to anxiety then anxiety of mental illness. I’m glad I finally found someone to relate to or better yet understand myself more. I have been anxious or nervous before like everyone, but after my bad weed trip I started feeling anxiety over the littlest things, that’s when I thought I was fucked up. Since then my anxiety slowly got better. It was extremely bad at first and I should’ve got help then, but I convinced myself it would go away. Well it’s not as bad, but it still is there and although not unexpected it still scares me cause I’ve never felt anxiety attacks, just anxious.
@Simon Abraham you just have a fear of insanity. I feel the same way. If you can find a therapist or family member to talk to, because anxiety comes from fear of the future. In our case fear we’ll develop an illness even though actually mentally ill people think there’s nothing wrong with them
Can you discuss how long you went through this both times and describe certain things you did to help feel better. Also, are you still taking sertraline and how did it affect you when you were experiencing this? Plus if you could mention any sensations you had during this time.
I've been experiencing something similar intermittently in recent months. For me, it's the idea of losing control of my life, my ambitions and future - the idea that I could lose everything I want to do with my life if I developed psychosis, as well as my contact with reality itself. I know I should try to see a therapist as soon as I can, but does anyone know of good ways to counter these thoughts and feelings?
I just waited for 1 month. These were the blackest days of my life, but they just passed and everything got ok. I even asked my parents to take me to the doctor, but they said that everything'd be ok, and at the end eveything was really ok. I suffered so much, that It'd be better breaking my leg than having this. This is 3rd time in my life, and i know that these days will go. Sometimes i still have fears of this, but according to my past experiences, i know that this is temporary. Hearing little information about someone who has mental illnesses is enough for me to get attack of this phobia, I can't even eat while having it. Btw I'm 15
@@mariaaa2807 hey can i please reach out to u somewhere, I’m in this place rn and I need someone who’s gone through this to talk to. Even texting is fine it would mean the world
@@eliotnouwen8340 hey! Just persuade yourself that this is TEMPORARY and everything will be ok. You just have to be sure, if it make u comfortable you can reach to doctor just to hear diagnosis that you're healthy. And, pray. It helps, believe me. Pray to jesus and be sure that he's standing right behind your back, and whenever you feel like falling down he'll catch you. Persuade yourself that all of these thoughts are part of seasonal breakdown episodes and it's normal for people to have. Its hard, but possible 💘 NEVER give up.
@@eliotnouwen8340 just realize the situation, all of these fears are inside your brain and while you're panicking about smthing, youre just lying in your bed in safe place, where everything is ok. Remember that everyone goes through this
as someone with a multitude of diagnosis,i was showing signs as a child of not being rational. i have suicide in my family and mental illness / personality disorder.
I’m 16 and I have constantly been getting this phobia of going insane ever since then it keeps on coming back each day and it’s hard for me to concentrate sometimes I feel my hearts racing and I get this depersonalization feeling and that’s when the anxiety tends to increase the most, what should I do or can this phobia ever leave?
If you can , talk with a parent, friend or family. You can get through this. I think talking with your parents is your best shot so they can actually get you the help you need. Also practice positive self talk. This helps , but still get some good help .
Hello guys my name is likhit I had anxiety most of the time since my childhood first it started with a heart pain I felt so fearful and my heart was painting and then one day my mom said it's all ur thinking and then I tried not to think about it and it has disappeared and after that I was playing a computer game and I had a fear of things that won't stop which means I had fear of my heart beat and fear of infinite and in game infinite money etc. I coped myself telling that it doesn't exist everything has a stop and left it.

Seek therapy. Free therapy if you can. The mind is very powerful remember and with a positive mindset and help you can get rid of your anxiety. My anxiety was really bad at one point. I was scared to come home and be in my room( I don’t wanna explain why) but I told myself my home is my comfort. I don’t fear these things. Next thing you know the fear is gone. I still have anxiety and it may or may never go away but anxiety is only in ur head. That’s it.

And the girl say it right: anxiaty could NOT cause : skizofrenia or psychosis.... this is very important. And there is link between hypnosis and psychosis: when you are unconscious you can get suggestions, thoughts, commands. And hypnosis is the same psyciology than psychosis. So psychosis is nothing more than subconsious suggestions, commands, thoughts. So dont let anyone cause you: MENTAL ABUSE, because this is the real cause of psychosis.
This is true! Could elaborate more on how you recovered? I saw your comment about statistics of developing psychosis, but Ihave a neurotic tendency and it didn't calmed it. How did you deal with those thoughts?
Last night I felt like I lost my mind Like I was saying things ,just completely random ,I didn't even mean to say them ,and random visual images and stuff would keep happening I was confused I kept going"why am I thinking this" "why did I have that thought" I've had the like weird mental/neurological symptoms before But this time it just felt Soo real I kept happening in the morning Like I was scared I have tumor or something, because I was processing thingsor sound wrong Like"what is that sound" like the night before I thought the sound of the AC was someone brushing their teeth I'm only 13:(
READ THIS IF YOU WANT 100% SOLUTION: Hello, everyone who is afraid of this. It's been a recurring moment in my life for 10 years. I have gathered a lot of knowledge about this. The bottom line: 3 out of 100 people experience psychosis in their lifetime. statistics. 3%.... very little. another statistic: 75% of psychoses occur before the age of 24 a. And cc. 90-95% are up to the age of 30-35. The cause of psychosis: when a traumatic event occurs that is outside of normal human experience. (which is traumatic for anyone within a culture) then there are those who give a neurotic reaction, and a very small percentage of people give a psychotic reaction. Who is genetically predisposed. If there was no psychosis in any branch of your family, then approx. 100% that you will not be affected in your lifetime. if it was in one of the family branches, then you may have some sensitivity and then it may be. For those who develop psychosis due to anxiety, there is a presumed genetic inherited tendency (just a small one). Psychosis is not a disease, but a symptom. there are two categories: 1. primary psychosis: this includes those who, according to the diathesis - trauma model: are genetically susceptible + such extreme trauma that it develops. ("schizophrenia", brief reactive psychosis, schizoaffective disorder, actually all schizo diagnoses, and even brief trauma triggered it: this is collectively called: psychosis sensitivity syndrome) here the triggering factor: extreme trauma, + genetic inherited factor. There is another category: this is secondary psychosis: organic, physical. This includes all cases where a physical cause appears as a secondary cause: too many drugs, too much alcohol, too much coffee, too much lack of sleep, too much starvation, too much sunlight (heat stroke), organic brain disease (Alzheimer's), etc. Actually, I have to say, you probably aren't lucky enough to be among the 3% who are susceptible to psychosis. If you are over 24, your chance is max. 25%, if you are over 35, your chance is approx. 1-5%. So very little. This works like the tendency to hypnosis, some people absolutely cannot be hypnotized, some can. Genetics. I was afraid for a long time: that it's okay, I'll probably never have secondary psychosis because I avoid drugs, alcohol, etc. But what if some serious trauma happens that I cannot avoid (my family will be killed, I will be homeless, there will be a war in my country, etc.). But this was my answer in the end: that I am not in the genetically sensitive 3%, I am not so lucky. because there is no psychosis in my family going back 3-4-5 generations. So even if some extreme trauma were to hit me, I'm 100% sure that I wouldn't respond with psychosis, but let's say with neurosis (depression, anxiety, etc.) I'm already 35 years old, so my chances drop below 5% anyway. Over the years, I've been through a lot of trauma, but I responded to it with depression. this also shows that I am not in the lucky 3%. If this girl had a psychosis due to insomnia and anxiety, she probably has a slight genetic predisposition to it. Just a little one. because it is a scale and dose dependent. 15% of young people experience a brief psychosis in their youth, which passes quickly..(statistics) So this girl is probably in the tiny 15% who have a minimal small genetic susceptibility. But if you, dear reader, didn't have it in your family, then most likely you are not even in this 15%, so roughly you are in the 82% who will never experience this during their life, certainly not in a primary way (the secondary avoid it!) I know that those who are afraid of this are looking for 100% certainty (because I was looking for that too). This is the only way to find it: In summary: the critical: you are not affected in 3% (if you are not genetically in the immediate family) secondly, it's a bit sensitive: you're not even in the 15%, if (if it's not in the family going back 3-4-5 generations) and here comes the point: if this has all been right so far: then YOU'RE in THE REMAINING 82% WHO (CC: 99%) WILL NEVER HAVE A PSYCHOSIS IN HIS LIFE. but I would like to add that genetics alone do not cause psychosis, this is very important. it requires environmental overexposure (trauma). maybe that's it. this might help. and don't look for a genetic test because it doesn't exist. of course it would be easy, you would do it and give a big sigh :). No, it remains to study the family tree. I know that it was not in the family going back to the 1700s. talk to grandma and grandpa about whether there was something like this in the family. If there was, that's another story. Then you have to see what percentage is the risk factor. It fades after several generations. In addition, protective factors and preventive measures must be used: B1, B6, B12 vitamins, Omega-3 vitamins (reduces the risk by 50% in young people - statistics) plus vitamin D, good sleep, vegetables, sports. A stress-free life, avoid traumatic events. balanced diet, lifestyle. many friends, good family, lots of communication, so it can be prevented. maybe that's it
Yes you can overcome this. It's hard,but you can. I've been having intrusive thoughts like being a killer,rapist..etc..then came across a video about a schizophrenic on tiktok and started to think im gonna develop schizophrenia and panicked even more after reading the comments (ppl saying they have it too,or their family member has it) so I deleted all my social media. Honestly,social media is our biggest enemy. Everyone posts negative things 😑 now I don't fear of schizophrenia,I got over it like umm 2 or 3 days ago. Started to have it like almost 2 weeks you'll get over it
this is not true, he has no insight when he is psychotic. because it's an episode. if there is no SUB, he still has insight. and he also knows that he had an episode. it's like epilepsy.
First of all: skizofrenia does not exist. This is the first fact. There is no gene of this. Second: you cant lose your mind. Because every human beeing have 1 mind + 1 body + 1 soul. Its a fact. You know somebody who doesnt have their mind? Third: what is it if its not skizofrenia? If somebody have a serius trauma or a crisis (Anxiety is not that)....you will have psichozis period, every body may have. There is 3 type of psichozis: 1.organic (injury), 2. exogen (drugs) 3. passive (trauma) Its a decreased altered state of consciousness. So there is nothing to affraid.
Thanks! I have had this fear for months and I have felt very alone because no one really understands it, but I am glad you are speaking out about it because it makes me feel understood and have more hope to achieve a good recovery ❤
I have depression and have an uncle with schizophrenia. When in a depressive episode, I get so scared of losing my mind I can barely sleep. Thanks for this encouragement.
I’m 16 and had developed the fears of schizophrenia and psychosis due to feeling like i was losing my mind with all the thoughts that go through my head so fast. I’ve actually been so much better than where i have been and i now know i am not going crazy! thank you so much for making this video it helps lots i swear so thankful for your videos all the time helps me go through my fears! You’re the best Cherelle 💞
@Alaina Schmidt Terrible isn’t it! I recently seen a movie where this girl was imaging that she was seeing things but those things were actually there and drove herself crazy. I’m now so scared of this 😭 hoping ill forget about it later. But thank you so much! I hope you overcome the fear completely some day! 💞

I almost cried reading your comment because I'm going through the same thing as you rn

My mood is a mess
I would wake up and have this urge to go out
But then as soon as I am out there
I would wanna be indoors
I would be extremely happy now then unhappy the next min
Tingling and numbness makes me scared
Constant negative voices in my head
It’s tough
I pray and listen to music
It helps
Im crying inside... i am going through this right now and im so scare, but i saw this video and the comments and now im kinda better. I have this thoughts for about 2-3 months and nothing happened to me, so guys dont panic, its just thoughts and you know, the anxiety cant bring to you this serious mental things. Stay safe and love yourself!

I am so glad I found this video. I’ve been having anxiety stemmed from a traumatic experience and once the thought of myself going crazy came into my head it’s like I couldn’t get rid of it and all symptoms I had I would initially assume as some psychotic disorder, what brings me out of it sometimes is when I am calm I notice how present I feel and how connected I feel but it’s very difficult to stay that way lol. But these videos really help to reaffirm that I’m not alone in my feelings. Thank you.
Wow I thought I was the only person who has lost my mind, and had the thought of me going crazy. I thought there was something wrong with me but after realizing u had the thought of u going crazy, I can see that it’s normal so thanks for helping me know I’m not alone ❤❤💪
@@alanzarate7335 same
I’m scared I’ll develop something again. Just a very scary intrusive thought that came after I was sleeping, and the thought told me to do something. That scared me. I need to tell my therapist about it
My insomnia after a terrible anxiety attack was the worst. I remember sobbing and my poor husband trying to comfort me. I just kept thinking he is going to have to commit me. I was so tired and scared I was losing my mind. I just needed sleep. The things that really helped me with insomnia battle was a weighted blanket, CBD oil blend for sleep, and podcasts. Anytime I would wake up scared I would put a podcast on my headphones. It helped me feel less alone. It's like my brain recognized people talking and laughing and decided that we can't be in danger when people are just chilling out around us. I just want to also say thank you for your content. You're truly helping people and saving lives.
For everyone commenting their stories asking for help please please seek professional help, most of us here aren’t professionals. Even start by just talking to your GP and getting a referral to see a psychologist. Start journaling, meditating, cardio, nourish your body with healthy foods and redirect those nasty thoughts. For every negative thought replace it with three positive thoughts. Along with anxiety I have suffered depressive and suicidal episodes. Something I learnt that helped me begin my recovery journey is to first acknowledging that YOU are NOT your depression/anxiety you just have it, it’s an object in your possession just like your phone or your car, it’s not you and it does NOT define you, secondly, do the opposite of what your depression is telling you, use it as a guide for what you need to do e.g don’t want to get out of bed -> get out of bed! Don’t want to call your mum -> call your mum! Don’t want to go for a walk -> go for a walk! I’ve been in a really dark place before and am recovering and am so proud of myself. I never thought there was a way out but there is. Thirdly label your anxiety/depression, give it a name, I call mine the dementor, when I feel it creeping up I say “this isn’t me it’s just that annoying dementor, the dementor is making me feel this way, not me, it will pass”.
Lastly HOLD ON TO THE GOOD MOMENTS even if that moment is only a few seconds in a day, hold on tight, think about that moment and how good it felt, those moments will eventually get longer and longer but acknowledge them each time they come.
Chip away at it, be kind and patient with yourself. Repetition rewires the brain❤️ 🧠 You’ve got this guys! 💪🏽
This should be pinned. I’m working on journaling, exercising and shitting on my negative thoughts lol
I sometimes feel bad cause I feel like I have a long ass road to go, but then again I’m 22 and deep down I know this is for the better.
Same for me i was thinking that I was going crazy i was thinking i had DID , schizophrenia or BPD but after watching your video i am feeling great
Thank you for this I really needed this!! My anxiety has been at an all time high and I have developed agorophobia so you can probably imagine how bad my state of my mind is. The fear of loosing my mind and developing scizophrenia or bipolar has been what's driving my anxiety through the roof. Sometimes even just thinking about it makes me scared that being so obsessed with it is going to cause the disorder. It also doesn't help that my neighbors have scizophrenia and they have been having episodes recently where the cops have been called multiple times due to behavioral disturbances (smashing and fighting neighbors). Hang in there and we are not crazy or going to go crazy!! People who go crazy don't know that they are going crazy.
Hi Gustavo, I want to send you all my light and love because I know exactly how you feel. Trust me, I do. This year has been filled with a lot of extremely difficult anxious moments and my anxiety has reached an all time high like never before. I've also had low, depressive moments. With all this, I went on a spiral thinking that I have Bipolar disorder or that I had something else. I went on a googling rampage for months and scared myself to death. On top of that, I have had a lot of sleeping problems this year and nightmares that have only added to the stress of everything. I felt my heart sink when you wrote that you had the fear of developing schizophrenia or bipolar and being so obsessed with what is going to cause it. I have felt the exact. same. way. It has been absolute hell for me and an experience that I wouldn't wish on my worst enemy. It has taken time, therapy and possibly quitting my toxic job to take things day by day. Your last statement is also very true and has helped me during a few panic attacks I had thinking that I was having a bipolar or schizophrenic episode when I definitely wasn't.
@@chrisfernando3199 thank you so much for sharing. Time is only going to heal and your taking all the right steps to recovery. It will only get better from here. I’m literally having the exact same experience as you!!! I’m also in the process of quitting my toxic job that added to my stress. I totally relate to the anxious googling it almost felt like an addiction and it always led me to a spiral and made me feel 100x worse. I’m also currently working with my therapist to avoid all of those anxious behaviors and I can say that after two week without searching anything related to mental health I’ve already been feeling calmer and more present. So please if you can try to limit your time on social media and on Google searches they just set us back. I’ve also have dealt with some terrifying nightmares I just try to remind myself that it was just a dream and just keep yourself occupied and it becomes easier to forget. Wishing you the best in your recovery!!
I had an uncle who murdered my grandmother (before I was born). My mom (16 at the time) came home to my uncle over her mother with a knife. My uncle had suffered from severe schizophrenia sense a teen. He would often tournament his mom with stalking, physical and emotional attacks, and mailing letters to her telling her god was instructing him to kill her. On that fateful day, my mom did everything she could to stop him from killing their mother, unfortunately it didn’t help. Fast forward to my mom having me and raising me with a high degree of paranoia, anxiety and depression in the house hold, as well as numerous other things happening inside my childhood and myself becoming massively sick and bedridden for 5 years of my adult life...Dementophobia has plagued me for most of my life. General Anxiety and panic attacks are my everyday life, I so desperately don’t want to put my mom through anything else and everywhere I go, the fear of becoming my uncle scares the life out of me.
Hey, are you feeling better now?
im always afraid i’ll slip into a depression and won’t be able to pull myself out. i’m so scared all the time and i have no ill feelings about myself or anything in my life just the fear of simply developing depression
Yes same, I'm even afraid of getting better because I feel like I can slip into a deep episode at any point and will have no control of getting out of it
How u doin?
Same here! It’s scary. I always need to remind myself that if I’m willing to fight through then I will be ok. I think of times when I was happier and think about how I can get back to that place again
I m going through this.. have u had depression before?
@@colagirl765how are you doing now... Did u have depression before this?
it comes from a trauma/stress etc.
This trauma happens in waves, from our childhood when we were helpless and lost our minds
We have to work in our minds when this happens to stay rational
Could you elaborate on this more? I feel that this is the root cause, but not sure how to deal with it.
I'm Victor from Spain, I'm 20 years old and since I was little I have anxiety, I used to give myself in class, in restaurants, in a cinema to give some examples... well the case, it's been 2 years since I've been in this hell, on May 9, 2022 I woke up having thoughts that in my life had had of the content of hurting me, I remember that the day before I went to sleep I read a story about a boy who took his life, logic tells me that could be a possible trigger, at first I got scared because I didn't want to do that I don't even want to and I didn't know what was happening to me, I had a lot of anxiety, my chest hurt, I was short of breath, I was terrible... in the middle of that hell I thought, well, this will be a bad day and tomorrow I'll be fine, because the days were going by and it was still the same, even from the fear I had I slept even with my mother imagine... a few days after this, being in my room I missed this thought that I remember perfectly. What if I kill my mother? If after the thoughts of hurting myself it was already wrong imagine after that went through my head... literal that I couldn't even see my mother was terrible, if before I had anxiety because after thinking that I had twice as much... investigating Google I found content about intrusive thoughts and such, at that moment reading about the subject I found a phrase that helped me at that moment (you are not your thoughts) and that I literally eliminated the physical symptoms I had despite the fact that those thoughts were still there. A few days after this I went to the psychiatrist to tell him just what I'm telling in this message and he told me about impulse phobias, I went home and a few days after this in the news of Antena 3 the typical ones that give at night well, they talked about a news of a boy with schizophrenia and well what happened to me is that I literally was in shock, I didn't sleep that night, literally when I heard that it was like, I have this. I started looking for symptoms throughout the summer and a few more months, in total 4/5 months in a row day by day by Google, on RUclips videos of people with schizophrenia, videos about psychotic outbreaks, about other mental disorders and from there I'm not wrong, the following. I literally began to be aware of the sounds and for example I was watching a video on RUclips of whatever it is and if I heard something that could be outside of that video, I would go back the video to see if I listened to it again, that was an example of what I did and sometimes I continued to do it, I was aware of what I saw or if I saw things out of the ordinary, sometimes out of the corner of my eye like I see it as a flash and I scratch that you freak out in case it is a hallucination, I also read about delusions and paranoias and for Give an example, read that these people think they want to kill them and that from there I have thoughts of that style, "paranoid" thoughts although I know that they are a lie, I do not know if after everything I am telling you are finding out what happens to me or if maybe in your consultation you have had cases of this style, because in Spanish I have barely found information as if I have found it in English and they relate it to OCD called OCD Going Crazy, but literally that sometimes I doubt that this can be OCD, this seems something Serious I'm afraid that it's psychosis or schizophrenia I'm shitting I need help, it seems that I'm delirious sometimes, although I repeat I know that certain thoughts are not logical... I think that reading symptoms has fucked my head because in my life I've had these thoughts and I think I'm very suggested. 3 psychiatrists tell me that they are impulse phobias but let's go that sometimes it seems like I'm really crazy.
I'm in this place right now. It's the worst night of my life. Suicidal thoughts, high levels of anxiety. Body feels destroyed by adrenaline. My life used to be great, but somehow, anxiety has taken over, and my life feels too difficult to continue. I don't want to end my life and I'm scared to do it, but I don't know how much more I can take
This video and your entire channel in general has been such a huge help for me! Years ago I was battling health anxiety and really was struggling but it did calm down a bit and I had a time where I could enjoy life again so that was amazing! This year has been tough to say the least, dealing with loss and the anxiety that arises with that has proven to be very difficult.. I’ve been dealing with loads of health anxiety again and just today I felt like i was really losing my mind. It’s so scary to face these issues but time and time again I’ve come back to your videos and they’ve been such a huge help and comfort!!
HI CHERELLE I WENT THROUGH ALOT OF STRESS AT ONE POINT AND I WOKE UP FEELING WEIRD LIKE I WAS DISCONNECTED FROM MYSELF AND THAT I HAD LOST MY MIND I WENT TO GOOGLE AND STARTED SEARCHING WHICH I RECOMMEND NOBODY READING THIS DOES BUT IT WAS TELLING THE WILDEST OF THINGS. I JUST DON'T KNOW WHETHER I SHOULD SEE A DOCTOR IN CASE I GET TOLD SOMETHING BAD
That’s called DPDR. Depersonalisation/Derealisation. It’s not harmful in any way, in fact it’s the bodies natural defence to stress.
I had the same experienve
@@robertmutch3032 yeah. It’s really scary. It led me to have anxiety and now I have anxiety of mental illness. I must put a stop to it now.
I would suggest go see a doctor. Pple like us need professional convincing or else we’ll just keep on worrying which will not help anxiety. I suggest not trying to convince yourself that nothing is wrong, but rather recognize anxiety as only a wave and it will pass. I’m still working on it myself and I’m seeking therapy cause I need clarity to finally stop my catastrophizing . Remember thoughts are only thoughts until you give it emotion, this will help your anxiety and honestly can help you in life with stressful situations. Be in the moment. You got this, but seek further help. Therapy is good for everyone. Not just mentally ill/ disorders.
P.S I agree. Google searching is like 75% of why I started thinking something was wrong with me.
You are special... a warning to you is many many people know about this they act like they don't... its spiritual watch some closer than you do now and you will start noticing a few things especially with one's closest to you... regarding the tingling ...drips... crawling under skin.... weird phantom pains crazy thoughts and voices speaking to you. Your not alone your faith also plays a key role in handling this. When you get to read this it means your making It thru. You have way more power than you know... your imagination is to be used to combat this I personally call it the WOKE devil he/she trys to get you to believe in something so he/she can use your faith to manifest things into your life if this has been happening to you then it doesn't have you... if your around people that know about it and isn't concerned about it BE VERY AWARE OF THEM! Don't eat there food either you'll notice if they where depressed while cooking you'll get depressed after eating it. The unseen realm is there and some of us can see it. There is also a GAME ... quote the game stear clear of it some people are in it tho and they need your spiritual help but be careful of energy vampires be aware who you give spiritual energy to.
When I see someone with mental issues I'm scared I'm gonna develop mental issues too and I'm really scared rn
Same problem with me
I never knew other people related to this.... I'm speechless... I'm so grateful I found this
I will forever be grateful for finding your youtube a little over a year ago. its like everytime im going through something you post about exactly what im going through. i have such bad irrational fears i.e. losing my mind, outer body experiences, heart attack etc. i have severely low iron so for whatever reason my anxiety also gets 10x worse around my cycle. tonights worry is a little mixture of everything. you make it so comfortable to talk about/leave a comment on though because you make it known we arent the only ones. so thank you for being brave enough to say what others (including me) can not.
Thank you so much for your comment Hope. It means a lot to know that my videos are relatable and help somewhat! Health anxiety is so tough but we are tougher! xoxo
I think I'm at my darkest right at this moment. But this made me cry so its good to be able express some pent up emotions..
Yes I've felt this way for so long.... I haven't met anyone who understands... I think it doesn't help that I've been gaslight and abused for years
Thanks for speaking up about this ~

I recently had a health scare in July. A spinal herniation and a misdiagnosis of are Grey disease which my mom died from. This sent me into a downward spiral of fearing my mortality and the suffering I would endure and put my family through. Long story short. I was misdiagnosed and do not have artery disease. My spine can heal itself and would not require surgery and now I’ve been left with the ( burning skin sensation) I don’t know if you’ve heard of it??? But after countless visits to GP and neurologist, they believe that I am in a heightened state of anxiety and stress that may be causing the physical symptoms. I thought I had MS. All the MRI’s and tests say I’m healthy. This burning all over my body and constant fear of illness has taken over my life. I’m in anxiety meds now. I’d love to think th at its physcological and that i can overcome it. Hard to believe anxiety can do all this?!
Mom of two. Please help! @Cherelle Thinks
Sadly the second time to dealing with this shit. Because many information and many wrong information live on the internet about psychosis. And many-many stigma about it like: "lose your mind" "broken mind" "split mind" ect. These are not medical definition. (fuck whoever came up with these stigmaz....all my heart :) And you know there is no exist: multiple consciousness, everybody has just 1 pieces of consciousness. And the key that if you know for example: "split mind" is just an aberration...you win. I think the most important is psycho education.
I like this Vid. The point is that. That you were the state of conditions we call: "crazy" because you have psychosis because of lack of sleep (insomnia) and because of anxiety. Some have more vulnerable of psychosis can get the psychosis easyer than you, that's the different, Notting more. I read many book about the topic. (John Read: Making sense of madness, Paris Williams: Rethinking of Madness, Marius Romme: Psychosis is a personal crisis stb) and I speak with Jim van O pszichiater many times. So Skizofrenia is not a valid construct, was invented. There is no "skizo virus" so it's just a bluff. It's like I have many time depression and you say: it's cause an unidentified disease...which name is "depressinezia"....there is no illness behind it!. The fact is: our genetic is different, some people (a few) a bit more sensitive than others. (3% of population) But as you see, you can develop psychosis some short episode. EVERYBODY could. Because everybody have a little bit sensitive, but some have MORE!! "Does high blood pressure exist without blood pressure?" No. So every body have blood pressure and every body have sensitive of Psychosis. Just like I said: it depends of genetic who have more and who have less. And family history of course. When I was down and I have a lack of sleep, I couldn't develop psychosis, because I m not sensitive for this. I was just depressed....that's it.
hi!
It's been a month since I had a massive panic attack because of a cannabis edible (I'm not used to THC). I've spent these last weeks going back and forth to the psychiatric center in my hospital because I'm having acute anxiety because of dementophobia.
I pretty much convinced myself that all the symptoms of anxiety were actually proof I was going crazy (i thought of all the mental illnesses in the book). I'm still trying to recover.
Even though sometimes I have a lot of doubts that I'm mentally sane...
I've experienced brain fog and DP/DR so much that I have a lot of trouble concentrating and my memory has been pretty bad. I'm waking up with a lot of anxiety and I can clearly remember some weird dreams.
It's frightening, all the thoughts that went through my mind. Suicide scares me but being disconnected from reality is way more dreadful to me.
I'm trying to regain confidence that I'm not mentally disabled and that I will eventually get back to normal once I can manage my fears. This has been the lowest point of my life, truly.
Hey Khalil, I wanted to email you but didn’t find any info. I got the same exact thing. I was never a smoker or drinker. Since Covid started, I started smoking weed to bring down my anxiousness. About 8 months ago I got Covid and started getting mini anxiety so I would smoke weed to calm down but it did the opposite, instantly I all of the sudden got a really bad panic attack ( which never experienced before, or with weed it sat pretty well on me for that year until I got Covid) and I have not been the same after that. Sometimes it gets so dark idk how to say it, it’s like an error in my body and brain that doesn’t get fixed up. I want to so badly to just go back my normal and my old self but I can’t even pin point what’s going on. After that one bad panic attack I’m not the same I’ve been to ER and doctors. They all say it’s anxiety but I’ve never had it before. I’m scared of loosing it fully sometimes because of how odd and bad it feels. I just found ur comment and could relate to it. There are great days and than it hits me bad. How do u deal with it what did ur dr say?
@@dacoimad6878 sorry for my late answer, i just saw your reply today. are things getting better? do you have reddit so we can chat about it if you will?
I felt this on a different level. I smoked for three years before I had my first panic attack. Smoking made me anxious for a long time and made me act „weird“. during the panic attack I convinced myself that these anxiety symptoms and even my coping mechanisms for depression/trauma were definitive signs of dissociative identity disorder and psychosis and etc. I now am at a point were Ive sobered up completely but still feel uncomfortable in my own consciousness sometimes. However positive affirmations ( Ik it sounds basic) + distancing myself from negative people and art have helped me very much and I definitely recommend that for u.
This is me in a nutshell bruh. From depersonalization then to anxiety then anxiety of mental illness. I’m glad I finally found someone to relate to or better yet understand myself more. I have been anxious or nervous before like everyone, but after my bad weed trip I started feeling anxiety over the littlest things, that’s when I thought I was fucked up. Since then my anxiety slowly got better. It was extremely bad at first and I should’ve got help then, but I convinced myself it would go away. Well it’s not as bad, but it still is there and although not unexpected it still scares me cause I’ve never felt anxiety attacks, just anxious.
@Simon Abraham you just have a fear of insanity. I feel the same way. If you can find a therapist or family member to talk to, because anxiety comes from fear of the future. In our case fear we’ll develop an illness even though actually mentally ill people think there’s nothing wrong with them
Can you discuss how long you went through this both times and describe certain things you did to help feel better. Also, are you still taking sertraline and how did it affect you when you were experiencing this? Plus if you could mention any sensations you had during this time.
I've been experiencing something similar intermittently in recent months. For me, it's the idea of losing control of my life, my ambitions and future - the idea that I could lose everything I want to do with my life if I developed psychosis, as well as my contact with reality itself. I know I should try to see a therapist as soon as I can, but does anyone know of good ways to counter these thoughts and feelings?
I just waited for 1 month. These were the blackest days of my life, but they just passed and everything got ok. I even asked my parents to take me to the doctor, but they said that everything'd be ok, and at the end eveything was really ok. I suffered so much, that It'd be better breaking my leg than having this. This is 3rd time in my life, and i know that these days will go. Sometimes i still have fears of this, but according to my past experiences, i know that this is temporary. Hearing little information about someone who has mental illnesses is enough for me to get attack of this phobia, I can't even eat while having it. Btw I'm 15

Persuade yourself that all of these thoughts are part of seasonal breakdown episodes and it's normal for people to have. Its hard, but possible 💘 NEVER give up.
@@eliotnouwen8340 just realize the situation, all of these fears are inside your brain and while you're panicking about smthing, youre just lying in your bed in safe place, where everything is ok. Remember that everyone goes through this

I’m 16 and I have constantly been getting this phobia of going insane ever since then it keeps on coming back each day and it’s hard for me to concentrate sometimes I feel my hearts racing and I get this depersonalization feeling and that’s when the anxiety tends to increase the most, what should I do or can this phobia ever leave?
If you can , talk with a parent, friend or family. You can get through this. I think talking with your parents is your best shot so they can actually get you the help you need. Also practice positive self talk. This helps , but still get some good help .
How are you doing now?
Is it truly possible to feel normal again because it really doesn't feel like it if I can ever recover from this all i want to do is help people.
Did you get through it

Hello guys my name is likhit I had anxiety most of the time since my childhood first it started with a heart pain I felt so fearful and my heart was painting and then one day my mom said it's all ur thinking and then I tried not to think about it and it has disappeared and after that I was playing a computer game and I had a fear of things that won't stop which means I had fear of my heart beat and fear of infinite and in game infinite money etc. I coped myself telling that it doesn't exist everything has a stop and left it. Then after some years I think 6 or 7 years I had breathing anxiety which continued for 2 or 3 months and after that I accepted it was a thought and it has gone away and after that it came back again and it stayed for 1 month and gone away after that for 2 years I was fine but after that I had an anxiety that if I will think negative and do a thing then it will become real I mean I was working in a store as a typist I thought if I will type some word with negative thinking that my mom and dad will die then it would become real so I cut the word and type it correctly without negative thinking this anxiety continued for 7 months after that covid 19 was started and then i had done lots of exercises and after that I had a mild headache due to excessive exercising which was little but once the lockdown started I didn't meet my friends and everyone then my headache got worse and it stayed 24/7 with me after struggling one month with this anxiety I and my family members shifted to vizag then also my headache was there and one day I was thinking something that wt if another anxiety hit me and I will be free from this headache anxiety suddenly a thought came wt if poop anxiety came and then the poop anxiety literally came it was like I will go to poop and then In my mind I will think that some one are watching me and they are laughing and I can't poop and i just can't remove the thought I had irregular bowel movements with this it continued till 9 or 10 months and I suddenly got relief and I was doing great for 1 month and then suddenly one night a fight happened between my mom and me that night I slept well but woke up with a fever and I was not able to eat anything so after 1 or 2 days the fever was gone but the feeling of vomit hadn't gone it continued I had strange feelings like I was in a spinning wheel or having wt if the universe is infinite it scared me and why my heart beats 24/7 it also scared me then I had earbugs means music stuck in my mind and some scary things stuck in my mind I have struggled with this for 1 or 2 months and after that it was gone and I became stronger now I dont have fear of moving things and heart beat and no earbugs no vomit feeling one day I had a strange feeling that why silence is there why sound is there I thought if I can't stay in silent can I stay in sound the answer was no I struggled with it for 5 or 6 days and it was gone upto 3 days before everything was fine I had coped with all my anxieties and I was doing great but suddenly my colleges were declared holidays and now I'm.having a feeling that what is happiness and what is pain or torture and my mind is telling to stay in torture or stay in fear don't stay in happiness I'm not able to decide what to do I'm struggling please someone understand me and save me even saying save is opposing me my mind is kinda don't be saved be in pain and torture I'm writing this very clearly please someone help me please
Seek therapy. Free therapy if you can. The mind is very powerful remember and with a positive mindset and help you can get rid of your anxiety. My anxiety was really bad at one point. I was scared to come home and be in my room( I don’t wanna explain why) but I told myself my home is my comfort. I don’t fear these things. Next thing you know the fear is gone. I still have anxiety and it may or may never go away but anxiety is only in ur head. That’s it.

Hey bro I had the same
@@likhitreddy7177u have OCD .. u need a therapist.. or psychologist immediately..
And the girl say it right: anxiaty could NOT cause : skizofrenia or psychosis.... this is very important. And there is link between hypnosis and psychosis: when you are unconscious you can get suggestions, thoughts, commands. And hypnosis is the same psyciology than psychosis. So psychosis is nothing more than subconsious suggestions, commands, thoughts. So dont let anyone cause you: MENTAL ABUSE, because this is the real cause of psychosis.
Now I’m scared 😣
@@Iarisap don't be afraid. Why?
This is true! Could elaborate more on how you recovered? I saw your comment about statistics of developing psychosis, but Ihave a neurotic tendency and it didn't calmed it. How did you deal with those thoughts?
Last night I felt like I lost my mind
Like I was saying things ,just completely random ,I didn't even mean to say them ,and random visual images and stuff would keep happening
I was confused I kept going"why am I thinking this" "why did I have that thought"
I've had the like weird mental/neurological symptoms before
But this time it just felt Soo real
I kept happening in the morning
Like I was scared I have tumor or something, because I was processing thingsor sound wrong
Like"what is that sound" like the night before I thought the sound of the AC was someone brushing their teeth
I'm only 13:(
Same I get scared like why do I think like this also I’m 13

READ THIS IF YOU WANT 100% SOLUTION: Hello, everyone who is afraid of this. It's been a recurring moment in my life for 10 years. I have gathered a lot of knowledge about this. The bottom line: 3 out of 100 people experience psychosis in their lifetime. statistics. 3%.... very little. another statistic: 75% of psychoses occur before the age of 24 a. And cc. 90-95% are up to the age of 30-35. The cause of psychosis: when a traumatic event occurs that is outside of normal human experience. (which is traumatic for anyone within a culture) then there are those who give a neurotic reaction, and a very small percentage of people give a psychotic reaction. Who is genetically predisposed. If there was no psychosis in any branch of your family, then approx. 100% that you will not be affected in your lifetime. if it was in one of the family branches, then you may have some sensitivity and then it may be. For those who develop psychosis due to anxiety, there is a presumed genetic inherited tendency (just a small one). Psychosis is not a disease, but a symptom. there are two categories: 1. primary psychosis: this includes those who, according to the diathesis - trauma model: are genetically susceptible + such extreme trauma that it develops. ("schizophrenia", brief reactive psychosis, schizoaffective disorder, actually all schizo diagnoses, and even brief trauma triggered it: this is collectively called: psychosis sensitivity syndrome) here the triggering factor: extreme trauma, + genetic inherited factor. There is another category: this is secondary psychosis: organic, physical. This includes all cases where a physical cause appears as a secondary cause: too many drugs, too much alcohol, too much coffee, too much lack of sleep, too much starvation, too much sunlight (heat stroke), organic brain disease (Alzheimer's), etc. Actually, I have to say, you probably aren't lucky enough to be among the 3% who are susceptible to psychosis. If you are over 24, your chance is max. 25%, if you are over 35, your chance is approx. 1-5%. So very little. This works like the tendency to hypnosis, some people absolutely cannot be hypnotized, some can. Genetics. I was afraid for a long time: that it's okay, I'll probably never have secondary psychosis because I avoid drugs, alcohol, etc. But what if some serious trauma happens that I cannot avoid (my family will be killed, I will be homeless, there will be a war in my country, etc.). But this was my answer in the end: that I am not in the genetically sensitive 3%, I am not so lucky. because there is no psychosis in my family going back 3-4-5 generations. So even if some extreme trauma were to hit me, I'm 100% sure that I wouldn't respond with psychosis, but let's say with neurosis (depression, anxiety, etc.) I'm already 35 years old, so my chances drop below 5% anyway. Over the years, I've been through a lot of trauma, but I responded to it with depression. this also shows that I am not in the lucky 3%. If this girl had a psychosis due to insomnia and anxiety, she probably has a slight genetic predisposition to it. Just a little one. because it is a scale and dose dependent. 15% of young people experience a brief psychosis in their youth, which passes quickly..(statistics) So this girl is probably in the tiny 15% who have a minimal small genetic susceptibility. But if you, dear reader, didn't have it in your family, then most likely you are not even in this 15%, so roughly you are in the 82% who will never experience this during their life, certainly not in a primary way (the secondary avoid it!) I know that those who are afraid of this are looking for 100% certainty (because I was looking for that too). This is the only way to find it: In summary: the critical: you are not affected in 3% (if you are not genetically in the immediate family) secondly, it's a bit sensitive: you're not even in the 15%, if (if it's not in the family going back 3-4-5 generations) and here comes the point: if this has all been right so far: then YOU'RE in THE REMAINING 82% WHO (CC: 99%) WILL NEVER HAVE A PSYCHOSIS IN HIS LIFE. but I would like to add that genetics alone do not cause psychosis, this is very important. it requires environmental overexposure (trauma). maybe that's it. this might help. and don't look for a genetic test because it doesn't exist. of course it would be easy, you would do it and give a big sigh :). No, it remains to study the family tree. I know that it was not in the family going back to the 1700s. talk to grandma and grandpa about whether there was something like this in the family. If there was, that's another story. Then you have to see what percentage is the risk factor. It fades after several generations. In addition, protective factors and preventive measures must be used: B1, B6, B12 vitamins, Omega-3 vitamins (reduces the risk by 50% in young people - statistics) plus vitamin D, good sleep, vegetables, sports. A stress-free life, avoid traumatic events. balanced diet, lifestyle. many friends, good family, lots of communication, so it can be prevented. maybe that's it
What if you go through this like almost every month?
Did you also have the feeling that like something stuck in your throat?
Thanks
Guys do you think this phobia can be overcomed without going to a physiatrist. I really don’t have the conditions and possibilities to go to one…😢
Yes you can overcome this. It's hard,but you can. I've been having intrusive thoughts like being a killer,rapist..etc..then came across a video about a schizophrenic on tiktok and started to think im gonna develop schizophrenia and panicked even more after reading the comments (ppl saying they have it too,or their family member has it) so I deleted all my social media. Honestly,social media is our biggest enemy. Everyone posts negative things 😑 now I don't fear of schizophrenia,I got over it like umm 2 or 3 days ago. Started to have it like almost 2 weeks you'll get over it
im also suffering i cant go outside
yeah same
Me too
Same
Should the government or private sectors ensure that all minorities go through this anxiety phase? As part of a safety first checklist?
Did go on antidepressants?
this is not true, he has no insight when he is psychotic. because it's an episode. if there is no SUB, he still has insight. and he also knows that he had an episode. it's like epilepsy.
Anxiety can cause hallucinations?
Sleep deprivation can
Have you overcome?
My mind is a dumbass
I like what I’m seeing you look 👀 good
She is already been through much and people like you are just funny..
@ciaran perryjuggle these nuts
1st
First of all: skizofrenia does not exist. This is the first fact. There is no gene of this.
Second: you cant lose your mind. Because every human beeing have 1 mind + 1 body + 1 soul. Its a fact. You know somebody who doesnt have their mind?
Third: what is it if its not skizofrenia?
If somebody have a serius trauma or a crisis (Anxiety is not that)....you will have psichozis period, every body may have.
There is 3 type of psichozis: 1.organic (injury), 2. exogen (drugs) 3. passive (trauma)
Its a decreased altered state of consciousness. So there is nothing to affraid.
But how to make sure that your consciousness remains high? Especially if you've been through severe trauma and now are experiencing stress.
Thanks! I have had this fear for months and I have felt very alone because no one really understands it, but I am glad you are speaking out about it because it makes me feel understood and have more hope to achieve a good recovery ❤
