Doom

[anon99]

Has anybody had the feeling of impending death/doom last for months ?? Just curious .. starting to freak out and think there’s something wrong with my brain 😂

[minskore]

I was dealing with it for months, til I found out it was hormone related, low estrogen levels got me. Got treated with hormone replacement therapy and that feeling went away.

Yes I’ve felt the sense of impending Doom for 30 years. That’s what anxiety is a fear of something happening to you in many different ways.

Good to know I’m not alone... I hope it’s not my estrogen levels as I’m very young.. thanks for your reply

[Ironj in reply to anon99]

Your welcome.. I started with my anxiety at 18 with the Doom and what if’s. So I would seek out a therapist ASAP to get a handle on it now with some coping skills. Best wishes John

[Ironj in reply to anon99]

I think it’s just what it is anxiety. But get checked out by you Gp for your estrogen levels. As well as a thyroid check up.

[anon99 in reply to Ironj]

I started at age 16 when my boyfriend passed. And I start counseling tomorrow morning! Thankyou. I hope things get better for you. Thyroid all good had that and blood work done a few months ago. But I guess I shall see about estrogen levels!

[Ironj in reply to anon99]

Very sorry to hear about your boyfriend. I’m happy to hear you have a meeting with a counselor tomorrow. How old are you now ?

[anon99 in reply to Ironj]

[Ironj in reply to anon99]

I have felt like this before and it's such a scary feeling. I have tried so hard to take that out my head although it sneaks in sometimes.

[anon99 in reply to Worried-help]

It’s horrifying.. i just can’t seem to get it to go away!

[Worried-help in reply to anon99]

I know it is. I don't know how I did it to be honest. I just brush it off and concentrate on something else.

[anon99 in reply to Worried-help]

I really try to but it just hovers over me 24/7! How long did you feel this way?

[Worried-help in reply to anon99]

Since last year. Still happens sometimes and I know it's scary. I always feared death, but for some reason last year my fear amplified.

[anxiousgirl7]

I have been dealing with it for 2 years straight. I’m here for you!

[anon99 in reply to anxiousgirl7]

Thankyou it feels good to know I’m not alone

[sliverofsilver]

Yup, I have. In fact, I’m feeling it now. Everything has a risk to it, but if we try to avoid every risk possible, then you wouldn’t even be able to walk, or stand up. You wouldn’t even be able to breathe for fear of choking on the air (although that does take some skill). So my point is, although it may feel like the world is going to end, you just have to tell yourself that it’s not. Yes, it might be, but it’ll do you absolutely no good to keep dwelling on it, and it’s highly unlikely anyways.

Is there someone you can talk to about how you’re feeling, like a doctor, GP, friend, relative, support worker? Perhaps your estrogen levels are skewed, or maybe it’s just something that you need counselling for.

The very best of wishes,

[Chellybean18 in reply to anon99]
