Fear of schizophrenia

[Einmaligone]

I've struggled with anxiety and ocd all my life. I had a panic attack in November and have derealization for the first time. I googled way too many symptoms on schizophrenia, and now I am obsessing over the fear of getting it. My therapist and psychiatrist said I dont, but what if I do get it!? I have no symptoms but I am just so afraid. My OCD is so bad now about it. Anyone else go through this?

Your lacking magnesium. This is one mineral that cures everything with the brain.

Nothing cures everything and a lot of things can't be cured by anything. If everything could be cured with a mineral there would not be any people on this board stuck with anxiety.

Thank you I'm definitely stuck on this fear right now, and just want to move past it!

When I was initially going through health anxiety, I Googled my symptoms frequently.  The problem with doing that is on the internet any symptom can virtually be tied to any ailment no matter how remote the possibility.  I had convinced myself I had all sorts of diseases, but of course in each case, I was wrong.  
Anxiety is powerful and confusing.  It can take some time to get a hold of it, but remember that you are definitely not alone in this.   I have been on MedHelp for years in this forum and your experience with anxiety parallels so many others in this forum....and that is a good thing in my opinion.  It means that you will confront this and beat it like so many others have.  
While it is scary and confusing in the beginning, just like with any challenge we face, the more you learn about it, the less confusing it becomes.  Anxiety is no different.  Please keep us posted and ask as many questions as you like.
