Scared again

I feel like I'm repeating myself but I can't help but feel so scared I keep getting this intense fear that I'm going to die I just don't feel right in my head anyone have this? It's like I'm never going to get better. I wan to believe this is just anxiety but I don't know what to do anymore I'm terrified.

I know what you mean. I don't have a fear of dying but mine is that I am going to get ill or be in pain. It's constantly in my head and very little twinge sets a panic attack off AV been to a&e about 8 time and admitted for 4 days in the last two month I was so convinced something was wrong.

I make myself so sick. I have just started on citralopram. Which I take half then half later from fear of getting ill. It's a constant battle. But talking to others helps me and reassures me am not going mad. I live with constant anxiety.

How long have you felt like this? Do u have any meds or have cbt

How long has yours been going on? 😔

[Hmclean86]

Mines been going on about two months I woke up at midnight have a anxiety attack and can't calm down!! Am close to going to a&e I think this is because I have just started on citralopram.

I get sick, shaky, hot sweats, racing heart, puns and needles, no energy.

My chest is so tight right now I am so upset but to exhausted to cry.

How foes it make you feel?

I'm Experiencing all of those symptoms badly you are not alone, glad we can relate on that level, I've been crying my eyes out for days which caused me to have horrible migraines 😭

Today has been the first time I have sat and cried but it has been most of the day! Do you know what triggers yours? Mine is the thought of getting ill or been in pain. Or losing control. Are you from England? Do you have trouble sleeping?

[Hidden in reply to Hmclean86]

Just negative thoughts about getting ill or dying and scary things like that but I have that too, nope I'm not from England lol but I had trouble sleeping at first but not so much now, do you?

Is the citralopram working for you?? Also how's your memory mine hasn't been too good

[Hmclean86]

Hi am only on day 3 but I woke at midnight tonight and it's half 2 now n still can't sleep. Can't wait to take kids school in the morning!, the anxiety attack woke me up now to panicked to sleep. I think this is a side effect from the meds! My memory is so bad I had a phone conversation with my mum yesterday and couldn't even remember speaking to her :/ that freaked me out abit.

I'm so sorry don't try to force yourself to sleep just let it happen gradually and soon you'll drift off ☺️

How do you stop the trembling feelings ?

[Hmclean86]

My four year old just got in my bed so no space to sleep now might just stay up but I also have a 1 year old so won't get much rest tomorrow. It's been nearly 3 hours I am slowly calming down just got a tight chest and headache but that could be down to being tired.

[Hidden in reply to Hmclean86]
