Hi everyone.. I started feeling this for almost 2yrs, i feel worrying of dying and fainting all the time, the worst case scenario is last year ive went to the hospital thrice a month but with normal and negative reports of full profile blood and ecg. I feel i always faint i feel i die because of heart attack i wanted to be alone and lying on bed wasting my time googling for causes and symptoms etc.. I dont like how i feel is anyone here that i can talk to coz i dont want this to tell to anyone and get started bullying me... Its very hard its like im living inside a box and i cant breath im afraid that one day i will stop by working and managing only lying and thinking and worrying it will kill me... Huhuhhhhh
Hey there Thet1028- I have been in your shoes. You sound like you are young. I have dealt with an overwhelming fear of death since my father died 24 years ago. PLEASE GO See a therapist who will likely treat you for anxiety. You may need medication. But rest assured you are not "dying." I have had a a thousand of the episodes you have described and guess what? I am still here. I have had countless medical tests. All came back normal.
Get this fixed now. It is treatable. I don't want you to worry for the next 20 years like I did and regret it.
You are fine. It is just anxiety and likely due to a chemical imbalance that can be treated.
And stay off of Google. Your brain will play tricks with your body if you believe you have every symptom you look up. Trust me, I have been there.
Good Luck and rest assured, you are physically healthy.
I am 30yrs old.. chach91565 thank you so much for ur reply im crying while reading it.. I feel im not alone i feel safe while reading those words thankyou so much.. How u cope it up, are anxiety still worries u? Thank you takecare always...
I take a daily med (Fluoxetine) and it helps without turning me into a zombie. Talk to your doctor not about phsyical ailments but your thoughts and what they mean and how they control your every waking moment. You can't go through life this way. 30 is young and so much life yet to live. 50 years and maybe more! Do it NOW. Do not wait. You GOT THIS.
Thank you chach91565... I pray also for you that u will always think positive and god will always be by ur side.... I hope also that i will overcome all this weirdiest feeling ive had everyday... Takecare always ..
You have a lot of support on this site! Nobody is going to bully you. They are very helpful and want to support you.
all your test came out normal so that's a good thing.
Remember that any symptom that is caused by anxiety cannot hurt you! They feel scary and weird but that is all they can do. They cannot cause your heart to stop or make you have a heart attack or anything else . Your heart is fine! You just have some terrible symptoms of anxiety and stress that you can learn how to manage.
DO NOT Google symptoms and causes. You will drive yourself crazy and chances are they have nothing to do with your particular situation. It's a waste of time and it will only create more anxiety and fear which means more symptoms!
You are not alone. Millions of people have the same symptoms as you do, including myself, so we are all in this together.
I will tell you something's that have helped me.
One thing that helped a lot is speaking with a counselor. They deal with this every day and can help you. Is there anyway you can visit one? If money is an issue, many communities have low-cost or free counseling. I'm not sure where you live but in the US you would just call the county you live in. It really helps to talk to someone about this and they could help you cope with your anxiety.
another thing that helps me a lot is listening to meditation is found on YouTube for anxiety, depression, stress, sleeping etc. They completely call me down including my breathing and my symptoms. Sounds like you really need help with proper breathing method when you're having anxiety. This is very important to know in order to calm everything down.
go to YouTube. Search for: "Mindfulness meditation- guided 10 minutes"
this one is good for the breathing. Listen to it carefully
Anotherone is called " mindfulness meditation for relaxation"
there are many others to choose from just pick the ones you like and do this a couple times a day.
other important things are:
do not sit around and think about this all the time because your symptoms and anxiety will increase.
eat healthy and get some exercise, stay social and active, I do these things even when I feel anxious because it helps get my mind off of it.
don't forget to smile and laugh even when it's difficult. And try not to take life too seriously because nothing is worth losing your health over!
be good to yourself. This is not your fault.
be a fighter for yourself. Don't let fear and anxiety take you over.
you can do this. And remember we are always here for you! ❤️
How are you jan34534, thankyou so much for ur effort typing and answering this message, people like you helped me a lot, reading those replies can really feel safe and comfortable inside me, i always wonder why i have this but meeting people like you feels that im not alone in this weird battle im facing everday, im from philippines and working somewhere here in gulp countries, one day i will try to have a psychological consultation because right at this moment im afraid taking any drugs.. Ur message really helped me a lot, and talking to people that understand my situation right now really eases my worries and fear, i hope i can hear from you if u have time it really makes me understand that im not alone and this anxiety is just in my mind... Godbless you always...
Thank you so much! I'm glad my message helped you a little. Whenever you need a little extra support keep sending messages! I know this can be a struggle but with effort, you definitely will be able to manage this. and sometimes you may have a great day followed by a not so great day. Try to be patient with that because eventually everything will even out for you.
I wish you the best ❤️😄
My anxiety started again now... Lying on bed googling 24hrs for symptoms and causes, meningitis treatment etc huhuhhhh i hateee this feeling.. Helppp.....
Your not alone. Your mind likes to play tricks. I've had this since 2013 and I'm about the same age as you. Endless test, endless worry!! Still gets the best of me sometimes!! I have my hour of worry I give myself that then I tell myself I'm still alive after that hour I must be fine!! Then I get up and get on with my life!! You can do this!! Believe in yourself
Thank you BAP24 for ur reply.. How often u fight for ur anxiety this days, how u overcome it, its very destroying for me instead of many things to do like cleaning stuff and talking to friend but here i am alone in the room overthinking what is my illness, searching, googling sometimes i want to break my phone and wifi router i dont know what to do and i dont know where all of this come from huhuhhhhh
