We are in the same boat...
The way I look at it is this... The only reson people with mental illnesses are going "crazy" is because it has been proven that we use a higher percentage of our brains. Thats why most mental cases from history are mere geniuses. So no....we are not crazy - just so incredibly smart that we do not know how to handle it!!!
BTW, I have OCD and the Cluster B Histrionic Personality Disorder.

Hi, I don't have either one of those, but I have severe anxiety and fibromyalgia. And they are so hard to deal with,sometimes there are days that are so difficult. I always think to myself am I crazy or am i going crazy? But, I just keep putting one foot in front of the other, and keep going! I feel for you, I am sure that you are not crazy I am sure that you are a really nice person with a big heart! It does suck to have all these illnesses, but we all have to just grin and bear it!! I don't know what cluster b personality is or agoraphobia. Is there meds that you take for it? Just hang in there and know that you are human and that you are not crazy. Keep Smiling!!!

no, you are not alone with your diagnosis es. there are many forms of OCD, and if i am correct, i believe that about 3% of the population has it. also, many people have panic attacks. they can start if you become stressed out or worried about something, if you are claustrophobic, and many other things. it is a very common thing today. you are not alone. there are also support groups on the Internet that can help you get through whatever it is you're going through. and you can talk to other people that have the same symptoms you do. I'm in one myself right now for trichotillomania and OCHD. i hope this helps you. if you have other questions, you can contact me at ttravelinggypsy@yahoo.com. -Annalise

i have ocd, bipolar, panic disorder and agoraphobia. And i don't look or act crazy at all either. But dealing with all this can be very hard. I don't look sick but on the inside.......

I honestly hope that you are seeing a good psychiatrist and therapist. This combination in difficult to treat...and miserable to have. Go to therapy, take your meds and work hard. God bless!
