I'm so scared right now! I first started having anxiety attacks 3 years ago. It's been easy going, some panic attacks, but usually I recover in a week. I saw my sister get a seizure and I was affraid of getting 1 Myself! Because it's HORRIBLE! I don't want to get a seizure! I still worry, but only when my sister gets a seizure due to her medicine carelessness. She got a seizure about 3 weeks ago, and I've been in this panicky state since then. First it started with being affraid of seizure, then I went to thr gym to try to change my mind, it was going great until I got a little pain in my chest, searched up my symptoms and bang! Heart attack! I was affraid of having a heart attack! I was affraid of that for a week! I actually got an ecg and blood test done. Then kept reading symtoms and came up with this thing that causes cancer called g.e.r.d, I was so Scared! I kept having symptoms of that! Food reflux, abdominal pain, and phlegm. Now I've read about depression! Oh man! I don't feel depressed, my life is good! But I do feel affraid of falling into depression! I'm really really really scared about getting depression and suicide! I'm so affraid! I love life! I want to live! I dont want to die! So Scared! I feel like im losing my MIND! Sometimes I feel worriedness of my family, that if I get too sick, I'll hurt them or myself! I'm dying Here! But everytime I stop thinking about it, it eases. But somethings a thought brings me back to worrying! I'm thinking about enrolling myself into a hospital.
One this site Sam I feel the need to explain NOT TO READ UP ON CONDITIONS YOU DO NOT HAVE in other words stop fishing for things you do not have. You will just make yourself ill
You say this all was first brought about your Sisters Seizures, if worried discuss that with your GP to make sure you will not have something past down, your Gp will help prove this is not the case, then you can move on
Consider your self a person not joined to anyone around you and your health is your own. You are not joined you are separate to anyone around you, A person who looks upon other single bodied person with different problems you do not have

How can I forget what I read? As soon as I read depression symptoms, I felt Ill. I'm ill right now, worrying, sad, thinking I might have it, and that it might lead me to death! I don't want to die, and thinking about it, how it could end, makes me sick to my stomach, it makes me want to throw up!

To read up on an illness does not mean you have it. Depression is very treatable and it will not lead to your death. To have depression would point to some form of upset, your Doctor can treat this condition that your imagination has brought to the fore, you need to stop reading up Health Problems and Concerns and live your life and not look back to something you may never have
Have you any reasons to be stressed or depressed ?

Anxiety yeah, after I saw my sister get her first seizure, I got super anxious, heard stuff that was a generator, but I thought it was something scary, was very worried, but after a few days and a few hours of video games it lifted. Everytime she gets careless with her medicine, she gets a seizure, and I fall back to being nervous for a week or two. I occupy my mind, and it goes away. Problem with this time, I searched up heart problems, stomach reflux, and got so many symptoms. I went to the doctor today, telling him that I was affraid of falling into depression, that I was really really scared, he told me it was all in my head and gave me good news about my health... he said everything was perfect! Very perfect! I felt really happy, and have felt happy since then.. it's like it lifted my anxiety, I still feel a little nervous, but not as much as yesterday or the day before.
