Obsessing over Fears

I'm having a terrible time guys.. I need some advice. :( Lately I have been struggling so bad and it's making me miserable. I'm always scared. Two years ago I had the impending death feeling and that's when I found this site.. well now it's back. And I'm scared all the time waiting on something rare or random happen to me and I'll die at any moment. I'm scared of going crazy.. like psychotic. :( These are my two biggest things right now. And the world ending... I feel like I'm failing my daughter because I can't seem to snap out of it... I'm always looking and waiting for symptoms of something I need to run to the hospital for. I needed to get this off my chest. Thanks for listening.

Hi. I also suffer from a constant fear that I am going to be harmed by someone or something. I am trying to deal with this by a) medication, b) excersise, c) doing things like cooking, reading etc.

Find something that can distract you completely for a few hours each day.

I am also teaching maths to my son which makes me feel that I am contributing something. Maybe you can help your daughter in some way that will make both of you happy.

You wrote you feel you were failing your daughter. So I wrote in that context. Is there any meaningful activity you can do with your daughter like play a board game, or cook or watch sports/movies that you both enjoy?

I am sorry to hear what you are experiencing. That must feel terrible. Does anything help? I find working with my hands calms me I took a dbt class to learn how to manage intense or overwhelming feelings. It helped me a lot

I’m the exact same the same thing happened to me a year ago today out of nowhere I really thought I was going to die. Better than where I was then but still not great. It’s like a massive loop of feeling better then crashing again. I also have the fear of going insane or having a mental illness that people don’t realise I have, which is worrying me more than the fear of death right now! What I mean to say is you are not alone and currently I’m looking into getting private therapy. I did find one that seems absolutely perfect which was the anxiety clinic London, but it’s a little expensive for me, but he’s definitely someone I will be going to in the future when I have more money! But yes currently looking for private therapy because I believe sometimes it gets to the point where you need help otherwise you will just be torturing yourself all the time. I hope things will get better for you xoxo
