Impending doom feeling

6 Replies

At least once a day I get a feeling of doom and pure utter dread which makes me feel like my life is over. I normally get it when my nose feels a bit stuffy... I panic that my nose is going to get blocked when it isn’t.. so it’s stupid. Even if my nose feels the slightest bit tight I feel uncomfortable.

Tonight the feeling of dread lasted about 20 mins and honestly I feel like I don’t want to live like this anymore, it’s just awful, I can normally cope each day but today it was worse than ever. Wondering if this will ever go away! I’ve got lots of medical problems going on and this On top is pushing me past my coping limits.

Does anyone else get this impending doom dread feeling daily?

Yep, especially in the morning..evety morning.....i wonder how I am going to face what the day has in store for me. Then I don't want to go to bed as I fear waking up next day.

Hello :-)

Yes I get it to different health worries but they follow me around :-(

Have you tried something simple like a Vicks salt and water spray , I get a blocked nose and this has helped a little by using it :-)

Take Care x

Yes I get it alot. I also feel ill every day. Have weird panic attacks at night where I feel like im having a stroke and it frightens me so much. I feel like im walking a tightrope most days.

I have 4 children and feel my anxieties and panic are stopping me being a good mum.

I just want to say you are not alone in what you feel and I really hope talking to specialist helps you.

Wishing you all the best

Hi,

It looks like you are having anxiety or some sort of panic attack,see your doctor and tell them everything that's happening, keep a diary as this can help the doctors decide on a treatment that suits you best,I have had this many times and I know how terrifying this can be,stick in there,you can be helped.

Good luck.

Yes indeed my freind, everytime i wake up, and not feeling 100%, I am always thinking that something bad is going to happen to me or around me. I am scared going to bed, laying in the dark, feeling my heart beating and scared its gonna stop or do some crazy missed beats or fluttering. It can seem so impossible to shake the dread away. I am 48 now, and the older you get the worse it gets. Does not help that the world seems to be in turmoil also. I wanna go live on the moon or Mars, just get the hell out of it all and away from the toxicity and negativity that is all around us these days.

Take care.
