Can’t shake this feeling of death

I know it’s anxiety I know but I can’t help but think it’s not 😭 it’s not my typical anxiety symptoms it’s no like what I’ve had for 4 years it’s DIFFERENT AND SCARY!!! I know everyone has a sense of impending doom but I can’t find anyone with the same feeling as mine and it scares me genuinely 😩 it’s that feeling deep in my gut telling me something bad is going to happen but that something bad is me dying “SOON” it’s stressing me out I’m trying to accept it and let it be but I really believe it’s like intuition telling me I’m gonna die soon and that’s it. I feel I can’t be helped as nothing physical is happening it’s just “thoughts” it scares me to the point I’m crippled in fear and don’t want to do anything 😭 sometimes it’s an intense feeling right in the gut or sometimes it’s just vague but it’s always herewith me and I’m terrified if I let it scare me so much it makes me paralysed which I’m trying not to atm but it’s hard!!! I feel like no one understands because I just think I know I’m going to die and that’s that I would rather 1000x my old anxiety than this horrible feeling I don’t know what I’m going to do I can’t escape it I have a child he’s only 1 and I don’t wanna leave him 😭😭😭😭😭 even when the feeling itself goes away and isn’t as intense I still think about it I still believe it I really do believe death is near sorry for the long text I just don’t know anymore

Hello :-)

Sounds very much like your anxiety is now turning into health anxiety which gives us these thoughts

You say your little one is one you could have a little bit of postnatal depression which can give us these thoughts

When you get these thoughts write down everything that you think you are dying from and then go down the list and tick any that have actually happened you will not tick one as none have but it might help you to see this is anxiety and not reality

It could be worth talking to your Doctor a little therapy could help

Know you are not alone try not to fear the thoughts let them come and go the less power you allow the to have the less control they have and they will slowly improve :-) x

Good for you…when our brains are wired so that anxiety is never far away we need to treat the chemical unbalance…I’ll take a pill any day than suffering everyday…I sure hope you feel better soon:)😘

Sounds like panic to me. Where is your Mother? Do you live close to her? You need to get some counciling so you can spit it all out. Don't just do NOTHING. Take charge..... I know it's hard but it will be worth it. Get an herbal anxiety product. Talk to the pharmacist and get a recommendation and then take action.

Hi!

I just saw this point and I understand you 100%. I get this too!!

Apparently it’s related to Heath anxiety which also gives you death anxiety and they go hand in hand. Trust me, I know this is the worst thing ever and I always tell myself I would rather have ANY other types of thoughts or feelings than this.

Your thoughts start to become so so real that you start to believe they are true. When trying to think about the future.. does your mind go blank? Do you also get bad dreams about death?

Hope this helps, you are definately not alone. If you look back at my posts from 6 years ago I was typing something very similar!
