Always had this feeling like im dying soon

[BeatingAnxiety]

I feel like my death is near i dont know what happened but everynight its hard for me to sleep because im scared what if im not wake up tomorrow and always thinking that i might be dead in a minute but this feeling always come in the night time or when im feel alone. Im scared of telling of what im having to all the people close to me but i dont wanna live like this i just wanna be back when im feel normal i even forgot how to feel normal

Why would you be dying? Do you have a very severe medical problem? If not then people always die from some cause so what's yours?

[BeatingAnxiety in reply to hypercat54]

Its not particularly like i have severe medical problem. I don't even know what the causes too like its just a feeling in my gut that telling me i'll die soon. I'm also afraid about this like i can't even see my future self. Im totally hopeless. sometimes i feel like im dying because of an ilness that i don't know or if its even exist but sometimes i thinking about death even tho im healthy. Its my mind that keep telling me even im trying to fight it. I feel so alone in this long battle and i don't know someone who i can reach out or someone who i can rely on even though im still have my family and my friends but i'll always struggled alone because im so scared if i tell them they might think me as a joke.

Hi I understand this coz I felt the same when I was young. When I thought of the future all I could see was darkness and blankness. The thought of living longer was horrifying with endless years of pain and misery - yuck! I was suffering from depression and I suspect you are too, and also health anxiety.

You don't say whether you are getting medical help? If not you need to. Therapy and meds helped me enormously. I am now in my 60's so I certainly didn't die young, and most likely you won't either.

Thank you for your support, i have no idea you are in your 60's. Wow thank you very much. But its hard for me to tell about what im going through to all my loved ones like i have all the words in my mind to say it but my mouth just silent. I think because the negatives stigma around the people in my country about mental illness awareness is very bad like its making me hard to open up. But thank you for your support i wish i can hug you to show how grateful i am. Stay safe where ever you are.

What country are you in? Is there any help available where you are?

Hi there read some of my posts i go through the same fear health anxiety is a horrible fear ..

Its just fearing the unknown but its hard shaking the feeling of dread 😪 but hypercat has gave you some good advice there .

Telling our friends and relatives helps a little but not alot because they don't understand it or go through it.. ive lost of friends who don't speak to me now they call me a hyperchondriact sorry for the poor spelling 😅 but its not nice to go through only people with it understand it how it makes you feel.

Just try and keep yourself busy it will pass eventually 😌 may come back every now and again but it does ease till something triggers you anyway

Similar experience. Health anxiety is awful. It’s a medical condition on its own right but you get little sympathy or help with it.

[Natsteveo in reply to Organiker]

Very well said 👏

Hi! I just want you to know that I have the same feelings as you do, quite often! It’s scary.. just a dreadful feeling like “well, this is it.. my heart is going to stop.” And then you stay breathing and your heart keeps beating and your body recovers from the anxiety and you either feel crazy or wonder when that uncontrollable feeling is going to come back. But even after those feelings you’re still alive and your heart stays beating and life goes on. Just remember when you get that feeling, that that is all that it is.. a TEMPORARY feeling that will pass and that hey of all the times you’ve felt that way, your heart is still beating! Then you can try to change your mindset when you come out of it to being grateful. Try to think of one new thing you’re grateful each time after an episode and remember all of them. One of the best pieces of advice I got was imagine anxiety as a cloud and you’re laying on the ground looking up at it. You knows it’s there looming over you, you can acknowledge it’s presence, remind yourself it’s temporary and it will pass. Then, imagine the cloud floating on past like a cloud in the sky.

Wow! I feel some relief knowing that I’m not alone in this.I feel the exact same way 😕 especially more when I’m feeling a little unwell. I’ve cried myself to sleep at night I eventually doze off because I’m too tired but I too fear dying in my sleep.

But I only feel this way at night. I can easily take a nap during the day and not have this fear.

It feels amazing to be able to wake up in the morning and know I’m still here ❤️
