hi. everyone... im 33 years old i think i suffer from all the above and some ive been to the er multiple times everything normal its been about 8 years with this same feelings of death. like my life is done when i get my episodes. i dont think i have anxiety for the first few years i was scared of dying which i dont think anyone here really likes that. i came to senses without a dr. telling me i had anxiety or panic attacks cause all these years feeling the same and i havent died it has to be my mind. i worry to much all the time about me i have two kids a 3year old and a 8 year old i used to smoke cigarettes and i stopped becausr of the panic attacks which is a good thing but thr panic attacks used to happen rarely now they hsppen constantly. so for everyone reading this thr mind is very powerful u cant do it on ur own u need help just like me breathing lessons dont help me pills make it it worse its very hard to overcome especially by yourself if u have a partner have him ot her understand how ur feelingits not easy my wife in thr beginning was helpfull now she thinks im crazy since the drs day im healthy ad a horse but i do.t feel that way. hope this opens some eyes and jusy live life no matter if u feel like ur dying jusy tell urself ur fine and stay positive and keep fighting u will get through it.

hi. thanks for the reply it does help me alot reading about how im not alone woth this problem. therapy i havent got i actually went to see a chiropractor for the dizziness and headaches. didnt help my thing is more mental than anything i think to much my primary dr. told me to take desyrel 150mg tabs before bed. but it makes the anxiety worse. its hard for me to take it not a pill person i actually quit my job cause of the way i felt at work i kept going to the er. thinkingsomething was wrong honestly my problem is that i think thr worse like im having a heart attack or a stroke.. when i feel a headache or dizzy or cloudy i assume its something bad. or when my arm geyts numb or it hurts my stomach feels funny like vomiting or chest pain i think the worse it sounds stupid but man its soooo hard not to think about it. anyways i do have the chest pain cause of dont remember the name but its tenderness on the muscles on my chest costocondritis i think not sure.anyways i really appreciate ur reply it sure does help to know there r people out their feeling the same. thanks i always felt like what i had was not anxiety. trying to be strong for my kids and my wife that says im crazy..they say that us anxiety peopleare not crazy but very artistic and sucessfull..

I understand some of what ur going thru!! I use to feel every day that I was going to die!! I would think to myself there's no use in doing this or that because I won't be here much longer, then I would sit and worry about how I was going to die. Finally it hit me that God is not of confusion or worry and I kept thinking that!! I finally realized it was just something the devil puts in ur mind to try to drive u crazy, but I turned to god and he helped me. Every time it would start to go thru my mind I would say no it's not real!! I pray things get better for u!! Also u could have OCD. A lot of ppl think that's just where u have to have certain things in order, but it's nit just that. My problem I had was worrying that every time my husband or children would leave the house I would think this could be the last time I see them. Then I felt I had to say a certain prayeror they wouldn't come back. I still have problems with that tho. A therapist would really help u!!
