    does anyone else wake up everyday and just have this feeling they're going to die soon? its so annoying and i cant shake the thought. everyday is the same im always tired and have no energy to do the things i used to. i also feel like im not real or like im viewing myself from a different perspective. i hate looking at my reflection cause i dont recognize myself. like i was fine in april then may rolls around and i'm just a completely different person and i hate it. i cant drive or ride in a car any more without feeling like i cant breath.

    I feel like this too, I constantly think I'm going to die. I always feel dizzy and have chest pains. I have panic attacks daily. Its got so bad to the point I'm scared to leave the house in cause something happens to me whilst I'm out. Its mentally and physically draining

    hi, iv have the same thing it all started the end of last year I started to have panic attacks in the night out of nowhere. Didn't no what they were I just thought I was dying, a couple months later I had a really bad panic attack and ended up in hospital, that panic attack really knocked me sick. I couldn't sleep, I couldn't eat which made me lose a stone in a week I truly thought I was going crazy and that I was going to die but I kept telling myself I have to get better for my daughter which pushed me to sort myself out. the doctor prescribed me Sertraline which I started to take and I started to feel a bit better so I went back to work but after about a month and a half I started to have really bad side effects which was causing me to have panic attacks again so I weened myself off them. I haven't been on any medication for about 3 months and my anxiety is up and down some days I feel fine and other days I truly feel its my last day on earth. I don't want to be reliant on medication so im trying meditation and take care of my body abit more, it's been hard and some days I sit and cry and say why me? but I have come to find out I am not alone which gives me hope in a sense. meditation has helped me alot and I think you should try it, i suffer from mainly the physical symptoms like chest pain, shortness of breath which is really scary but meditation has help me but it takes loads of practice and time. I really hope you've found some comfort in knowing your not alone and there is ways of dealing with it, you just have to find out what's best for you x

    Exactly same here!

    I think it is something linked to a kind of state of depersonalization. Our brain can't imagine the future in our current state since it is in a kind of "safe mode" to protect itself from anxiety, so we think we won't reach the few next days and that we are going to die.

    This feeling was even worst for me some days ago, every night I had the feeling it was the last so even if I know it is in my head I was afraid to sleep.

    Fortunately the feeling seems to shrink day by day, even if it is still here for ** currently.

    No i feel this way everyday, and i look up my symptoms and i start to get really scared. My mind starts racing, and I just think about going to the hospital. It causes alot of sleeping issues, and i just want to cry. It affects my everyday life.
