I have suffered with anxiety for a few months now and it's still not getting any better. I've developed an irrational fear that either myself or a family member are going to die. Even typing this now it sounds so ridiculous to me but I can't seem to shake the feeling. Does anyone else with anxiety get this?
I am like this all the time. I've suffered with anxiety for almost 3 years now. Mainly health anxiety. I think I'm dying 24/7 from some god awful disease. It's a horrible feeling.
My anxiety and panic came without no warning, and I had no ability to ease it, as Ive read in other posts like breathing exercise, all I could do was pace backwards and forwards, and it seemed continual and i couldnt get help because i couldnt connect with my own self. No way did I think this was the menopause, But nine months ago I went psycotic my thoughts were crazy, now ive been told that could be down to the menopause.. I,ve never felt so frightened in my life it just took hold of me and i couldnt fight it, it has eased off, but ive a whole list of symptons and at the moment im in the process of seeing my doctor, i never new the menpause was like this, soon the intensity will ease off just get to your doctors and demand treatment . good luck
I have had anxiety about dying since I was a child. I understand completely. It's not ridiculous. I've learned it's a fairly common anxiety. Sometimes when I start feeling that way, I completely shut down. I just can't function or do anything. I hope you find a way to ease these feelings and start feeling better soon.
