Has anyone felt this way? Its like after i started suffering from anxiety and going through panic attacks, my brain has convinced me that i am dying soon. Like yesterday i was conviced i was going to die today. Please tell me i am not the o ly one that feels this. I also read that people feel like theyre going to die and then they died suddenly. This has me soooooo stressed out!! Help!!
Hi try not to worry it your anxiety about two years ago I stopped my medication just like that not thinking it was helping me I didn't cut down was done abruptly.
Well after about a week I convinced I was going to die my heart didn't beat right my breathing wasn't right shooting pains in my head I thought I had a tumour I was in a right state but all my tests were normal my anxiety was through the roof and guess what I am still here and doing better and you will be fine too just remember you are not alone and your going to be ok 🌹
Thanks it makes me feel good that i am not the only one.... the feeling get sooo overwhelming that my body reacts to it and i began to feel weak and then really believe that my death is near. I hate this feeling so much. I get so scared because i have a 3 year old son and a family and i do not want to leave them suffering... these episodes do come and go throughout the day...some days are good and some are bad. Which makes me believe there is a hope into overcoming this feeling..
Hi I get like that. Heart races, feel depersonalised, chest pains, feel like my throat is going to close up and that I am going to faint and or die. It's horrible. I know it's (probably) not going to happen but the symptoms are so physical it's hard to ignore. Only thing I can suggest is to try distraction techniques but sometimes easier said than done I know. Good that you're talking about it though and know you're not alone x
I feel like this all the time! I think it's because I'm scared of dying that I feel it will happen suddenly to me and I won't get to see my girls grow up! Some days I only think about once others it's on my mind all day. You are not the only one but I have no idea on how to stop it!
This post is a mirror image of myself. I feel exactly the same and I think leaving my 3 year old daughter behind and not watching her grow up. I feel ill daily I had a good day yesterday where although anxiety was still there I felt calmer and smiled more because I didn't feel terrible like usual . But today I feel back to normal I cried to myself briefly earlier because I felt so ill ie tired to the stage of drowsiness, weak all over, nausea and light headed and I honestly thought like everyday this is it something is going to happen to me. I ended up having a nap and feel calmer but I still don't feel right. I never do. Its been 18 months now that I have had these symptoms to this extent where it affects me daily and never well. I am so fed up of it and not having no support the doctor just says you have had all the tests and can't do anymore its anxiety. I miss those care free times when just leaving your home you had no obstacles to face, no feeling of feeling scared and unwell on the verge of a panic attack. You are not alone I just wish I could say something that may help but I'm still in the same loop as you :-(
Hi Josey,Have you had reflexology or aromatherapy? Both good for stress. I have had anxiety for many years.It comes and goes. I am just over 4months post hip op! I am also a carer for my disabled hubby. So not easy for me.swimming and dog walking are good as well.regards Amanda
Feel like this everyday.. I convince myself that today is going to be the day every day.. I am working on understanding that I have health anxiety but the symptoms of a heart attack and anxiety are so similar that I always thing that I'm going to convince myself it is anxiety and that will be the time that it is a heart atttack.. you for sure are not alone...
You're not alone. I can't stand this
You are not alone at all. Its debiliating to live with an anxiety disorder. Its a like a thousand little deaths. See if you can learn mindful breathing and anxiety for dummies cbt book explains how the mind plays tricks. All of us are negtive thinkers and self talk terrible things consistently. My friend and always have a laugh that if we could reverse this we would be the happiest people alive.
every night i feel like i will die in my sleep, im glad im not alone
I know what you mean the symptoms is so similar I'm worried about my heart all the time..my most disturbing symptoms is chest discomforts..like tightness and soreness right in the middle
Yup I go through that everyday..but it's been 6 mths and I survived. .so I guess I'm Okey just anxiety messing up my life..I'm 23..how old are you?how's the symptoms lately?Imy sure you'll be fine ..
I have started feel this way about a week ago! It's horrible and I know for me it can't be anxiety, I don't get chest pains or anything I just feel like my time is about to be up and Gods about to call me home. I do get very very upset because I don't want to leave my 4 year old or my 9 month old behind. They are both very attached to me and I am also still nursing my younger son. I also don't want to leave my husband. I love my babies and my husband so much and I don't want to leave them. That's the part that gets to me the worst and I'll cry and cry about that. It also has started going threw my head about my funeral and it's starting to really scare me. I'm not ready to go yet. I want to be here growing old with my husband and watching our babies grow up.... I can't shake this feeling though and I just don't know what to do about it

Thats interesting you said that about dying. I feel like i am myself at times and not from anxiety, although thinking about that causes anxiety. I have very obvious symptoms, visual not in my head ones and doctors just note it and say they dont know? Strange. So i do fully get that statement as im sure every single person who has severe anxiety has felt the same way. The worst is when you come across some stupid info graph with warning aigns and you have them and the doctor checks you and says you are ok..i have xanthelesma around my eyelids but docs ig dont read any articles on it because they ignore it or say its genetics. We arent in control of when we die, so i surrendered that fear.
Youre not alone.. I feel the same almost every single day.. When i feel something wrong with my body.. And i will say... "This is it".. And i Cant stand.
josy0405 I don't know how long ago you had posted this ... But I just wanted to say I'm in the exact same boat as you and everyone else I'm 17 and over time its seemed to been getting worse lately I haven't seen anyone about it cause your post and everyone else's matches mine pretty closely I've read so many about anxiety and it also runs in my family but I have heart pains not heart attack like but like still make me worry cause I'm young and never heard of it before I can get very light headed where I can't think and get very close to having panic attacks at random times feel like I'm going to faint or die a lot and I haven't found a cure but doing something that makes you happy to take your mind off of it seems to help a lot like for instance me I play my Xbox and seems to make me feel somewhat better but keep your head up everyone reading this where all in it together and over time it can be conquered ! And controlled
Hi Guys.
First time poster, long time scared of dropping dead.
I almost can't go a whole day without feeling my heart will just stop beating. I'm scared I won't get to see my kids grow up into adults. Almost everytime I go for a drive, I usually start feeling the symptoms come on strong, like I'll suddely have a stroke while driving...it's very scary! I was prescribed xanax, and although it helps calm me down after about 30mins, I'm left with a sluggish day, that;s after I wake up from a nap from the xanax. It's as if the only thing I want to do when an attack comes on is lay down so I can sleep it off. It's almost like that's my only way of dealing with this, is to go to sleep. I ceetainly hate it when these "attacks" come early in the morning, because my whole day is most of the time shot to sh*t.
It's nothing short of a disturbing, scary nucense!
I cannot count the times when I've had to tell my kids I cnnot do something becuse I don't feel right. I feel so sluggish and slow when an attach happens. I really feel this has taken over my life, and won't let me live normaly.
I live for the days that are panic/anxiety free...I hate this!
hey cajun ricky,
im going exactly like what your going through and i was precribed xanan too but i didnt take it as im worried about the side effects and im a stay at home mum so i cant afford to be drowsy and sleepy from the meds cause its usually just me and my son at home for the most parts..i know how it feels like when you just wanna take your kids out and rnjoy the day but then you feels like sh*** and prefer to stay at home..but if i were you and will not try meds cause something tells me that anti depressants they sort of suppress your symptoms and but once your body is running out of it the symptoms will get more intense..just my 2 cents..but if it helps you then go for it..just want to say you're definitely not alone and im 23 so it sucks to keep thinking of just thoughts..but now im sort of getting a hang of it since it has been almosy 8 months for me..
