Can anxiety cause this?!


Question:

Can anxiety cause this?

I have had anxiety / panic attacks now for about 8 months bad. I have always had like a social anxiety, but when I was to my self I never had anxiety much, but now I stay having anxiety /panic attacks and I worry all the time that maybe I am getting schizophrenia and I feel that maybe I just need to die, or I might hurt someone and I really don't want to do nothing like that, but can anxiety/depression cause a person to feel this way?

Answers:

I went through what you are feeling less than a year ago. The fear of doing something beyond your control is frightening, I know that, but if you know you wouldn't do such a thing, then just try to change your outlook about that. I couldn't watch any movies with violence or killings for a long time due to the fact that I thought "what if I did that". It takes a very sick person to harm somebody in that way and you would know if you had that kind of sickness. Schizophrenia however, usually shows up completely before you hit your twenties. I don't know how old you are, but it is 9 out of 10 times diagnosed in your teens.
Anxiety and depression can cause many things to happen within your mind and body that are scary and painful, so I recommend getting help whether it's therapy or drugs.
Good luck to you, I wish you the best with this terrible problem!
