Hi Matt, I'm Autumn. I don't think we've talked before.

Can I ask, what does your doctor say? Are you having panic attacks or something else?

I remember feeling an intense fear of insanity when I was not doing so well. Don't worry, I don't think there is such a thing as 'insanity' -- you won't suddenly 'cross over' into insanity and 'lose your mind'. I think insanity is just mental illness, rather than mental wellness. Of course, some people have hallucinations or delusions, and maybe this is what you are scared of? But most people don't have those problems, and if you haven't by now you probably won't. For me, my most 'insane' was lying on the floor, crying, with my hands over my ears, because I couldn't deal with my kids or my life any more. I was completely overwhelmed. That's as 'insane' as I got.

I just wanted to let you know that you aren't alone, and you won't become 'insane'.

Do you have a good psychiatrist and a good therapist? They can be your best allies.

I hope you have some peace today.

~Autumn~
