I feel like I'm going to pass out or die.

[Chanelle05]

I am at my wits end tonight. I feel so ill. My stomach is so sore causing me to feel so light headed and sick, every time I close my eyes I feel like I'm not gonna wake up, a funny feeling comes over me. Why does anxiety make you feel like you dying? Thank you

I know what you mean. I get so afraid to fall asleep too. I can't believe anxiety can change your life so bad.The symptoms are the worst and I can never get over it.

I TOTALLY understand. Sometimes just when I think I fall asleep, I jump up and gasp for air. The fear of not waking up keeps me up. And I'm sure the tiredness is not helping my anxiety the next day

Yes this is me. I've been going through that same cycle for over two months now. Just when I get brave enough to try and go to sleep I get a wierd brain sensation or a wave come over me or like I'm drifting and then yes some times i will jolt out of my sleep gasping for a breath as if I'm about to die and every time it Happens it takes me forever to try to get back to sleep because I think of death. This is never ending

It is never ending. It SUCKS. I wish I knew how to stop these obsessive thoughts. And I totally get the weird brain sensation. It's so weird to know someone else out there goes through the same exact thing

Hi Chanelle

Your certainly not alone with your symptoms or fears, this anxiety/panic can be truely overwhelming, the strange sensations can be difficult to understand and ofcourse this makes you scared, let it pass, its unpleasant but trust me you WONT die from it, its a symptom of anxiety/panic just like a cough is a symptom of flu, you'll survive it and recover, hang in there xx
