Anxiety making me insane

Hey everyone, my last post I talked about being really scared to take propranolol as thought I could have major side effects but on the plus side I've been taking them and feel a lot better for it. The other problem plaguing me now is this constant fear of death and this impending doom feeling.
I suffer with health and general anxiety quite severely but now I've been getting panic attacks over this lost and ultimate fright feeling. I dont feel safe anywhere and have this constant doomed feeling. I feel like I'm going mad and feel a complete loss of control with reality. Can anybody relate? This is so hard!!
Thanks everyone

Hi Lucy,

I'm glad you tried the Propranolol and it is helping!

I'm sorry to hear you are having constant feelings of impending doom. I experienced this constantly when I first started having panic attacks. I remember one time I went to McDonald's with my friend and had a completely surreal experience. I looked at everyone in McDonald's like they were ghosts because I felt we were all going to die, and no one knew it but me. Of course nothing happened. I was completely out of touch with reality.

I know therapy can really help, and it would be great to develop a coping strategy for when you get bad thoughts like this. But to be honest, what really helped me was medication. Klonopin helped me to relax and not worry as much, and Zoloft helped remove my anxiety and the bad thoughts.

You will get through this! It is just another bad thought that we have to deal with and learn how to overcome it.

Take care,
