Hi, all! This is my first post on this board, and I just love the things I'm reading on here...sounds like I'm listening to myself!!!!
Here is my current thought/fear. About a month ago, I was working at a mental health association working with individuals with shizophrenia. Well, needless to say, after 2 whole years panic and anxiety free (for the most part)...BAM! It hit me super hard once we learned about that specific mental illness. Since then, I quit that job because my mind keeps thinking that because I have panic and anxiety, that I will, too, become schizophrenic. Is this possible? Is it possible to drive your mind to such a severe mental condition? I'm so terrified that this will happen to me!!! My therapist says it won't, but you know how it is when you have anxiety...constant reassurance, and I'd really love some input on this subject from people who are standing in my shoes. Can anyone help me?
Thanks to all of you,
Lisa
