Hello, sorry for the repetitiveness, im just so obesseed that im dying. I really made myself believe i might die soon. Could I be? please help, i just have this feeling lingering

Hi there,

I cannot tell you how many letters I have written during nights I was SURE I would not wake up from. Each time, I talk about how it's 'real' this time and I'm 'sure it's over' I'm 'not going to wake up tomorrow' I 'know I'm dying this time.'

What a waste of paper!!! I know exactly how you feel, and I still do it sometimes...all I can tell you is that the only thing your anxiety is going to end up killing if your sense of who you are underneath all of this. Don't let yourself go; don't lose yourself; do not give in to this monster that is trying to take hold of you. You can fight back and you can win; so many people have.

You are not dying. We have all thought we were at one point or another (some of us, daily!) but you must understand how powerful your anxiety really is. Hang in there and keep fighting.

HI There,
If anxiety could really kill id be dead a million times over. I know its hard because these feelings are real to you (and me), but i think 'Oh well ive lived to see another day', and then i try to make the most of it.
Dont give up.

u guys have it too? i thought i was the only one... thanks for the repies,

I have the contrary, i dread the next morning because i know this will not kill me but it will be there to make me miserable.

in the past 8 months i have been convinced and or have/been checked out for the following and i'm 32 years old..


brain tumor
lymphoma
cervical cancer
oral cancer
breast cancer
m.s
parkinsons
stomach cancer
heart conditions
stroke

my cure to all of these problems, zoloft once a day, need i say more? :wave:

thanks for the replies, do any of you just wait for something to happen with your health, and do u feel like death is comming constantly? i have this, im not sure if its anxiety or something else

I used to feel this way too, and sometimes I still do but I try not to think about it as much.

my anxiety was getting so bad my left side of my face would go numb sitting at my desk at work. the best thing i did was discuss it with my doctor, you should to. there are many options and treatments, the constant thought of death should not be a part of your every day life. believe me it becomes consuming and it's not the way to feel..best of luck to you. :bouncing:

r u telling me im feeling like this because of anxiety? thanks :rolleyes:

GX,

Early on in my panic years, I was obsessed with dying, every ailment, thoughts of nobody could raise my kids better than me, not even family or husband. Every day was a "could be" day constantly. I had to take death or anything related to it out of my life, I had to stop reading the obits in the paper, because then at age 28, if someone died younger than me, and no cause was listed, I fear the worst wondering what they died of, I used to watch a show in the 90's Rescue 911, I had to stop watching it, regardless that most always survived. If I overheard somebody at work mention somebody dying, I needed to know how, was it sudden, a history in the family, etc.
This side of anxiety/or panic is a form of OCD, complusive thoughts constantly. Mine had to be dealt with by a professional. Panic is still scary for me, but the news, etc does not ignite those thoughts again. Side note: Be careful looking up everything on the internet, you tend to "take on" symptoms or diagnose everything you "might" have, leading to more anxiety about death.

thank you ..

can someone die from bad nerves/anxiety?

crabby, thats amazing, im the exact same way now. Obituaries freak me out too I have to know how , when , how old , if they were young it messes with me hardcore.

thanks a lot jendayz :angel:

and everyone else.. please post if u have any other advice or stories.. thanks
