For full show notes on this episode: https://theanxioustruth.com/102
One of the two most common fears of anxiety and panic sufferers is the fear of going insane. Losing one's mind. Going crazy. Many worry that they will "lose it", or "snap" when at the height of panic or extreme anxiety. This is a difficult fear to face, but it remains an irrational fear that never comes true.
The fear of going insane or losing one's mind is no different than the fear of dying, or passing out, or vomiting, or anything else. The fear that you may lose your mind because of anxiety and panic is just another in the long line of irrational, distorted, magnified fears that come along with anxiety disorders. Your catastrophe (going insane) is not special and does not warrant any special approach or technique to address.
Episode Topics:
There Is No "Sanity Control" To Worry About
Anxiety and Panic Are Not Equal To Severe Trauma
You Have Not Kept Yourself Sane
Let Go. Surrender To The Worst.
Fear of Underlying Mental Illness
Is There A "Breaking Point"?
DP/DR - It's Not Special Or More Important
