    I'm glad to know I'm not the only one whose been feeling like this. I started to feel like this around December 2016 and it seems like since my grandmother passed away this January, it's gotten worse! During the day seems to be tolerable but at night anxiety kicks in, can't sleep and all these thoughts rush into my head like "wonder I don't wake up" etc I've been to the ER probably at least 10 times since February-March thinking something is wrong. Even had blood work down and they said everything was good with my organs, several ekgs all came back good. I feel like I'm not even attached to my body, it's weird. I randomly googled "feeling like I'm not attached to my body" then I seen this site. I am hoping talking about this with other people who know what I am feeling will help me. I've always suffered anxiety my whole like but seems like it's been a lot worse last few months. sad I hope you started feeling better.

    I didn't look to see how old the post was but a llf of the comments were helpful. One last thing I just wanted to say is that even it were our time to leave this earth we should want leave as peaceful as possible. Not stressed and depressed and whatever other feelings and thoughts you have-that's one thing I always go tk explain to myself. One thing about it though is that anxiety or panic attacks is one heck of a condition. As long as we know that no matter what we are not freaks and we are not crazy. We just deal with our issues in a different way. We don't choose to react that way but that's just how our Brian has programmed itself to be. Most times now when I have my anxiety is when I'm sleepy and I'm fighting my sleep. The thing I hate the most is experiencing one while sleeping becashe I'm suddenly woken up and then it's almost impossible for me to calm down and go back to sleep....even if I feel like I've calmed down and my eyes are so low and I no longer have the strength to grab a hold on anything k still refuse to code my eyes and fall asleep because I want to be sure that I'm safe. If I close my eyes my heart literally is heavy and I feel like I'm going to die instantly but eventually after watching a ton of anxiety videos and reading on it I allow my body to drift off and sleep. But the bad part about that I'm not relieved of the bevauae then I wake up feel horrible. For me there's really nothing I can do at that moment other than lay there and wait for my brain to allow my body to fall asleep. I refuse to be on medication but sometimes I question myself like should I just do it? It's almost like a "anything to feel normal again" thing. I try to talk myself out of the situation most of the times. Just typing this I was calming myself down from a panic attack but falling asleep is very challenging at this moment. I pray the best for every last one of us

    hi , I'm new to this website, I know what you are going through about 8 years ago I had a bad panic attack. Ever since then, they are now getting more regular virtually every day. I feel like I am dying, I'm very confused. I feel very weak and also when I'm walking I feel I could just collapse honestly I would not wish this on my worst enemy. I find it very hard to focus on the TV or the Internet, so I know where you are coming from. At the moment my wife is in hospital. I haven't even been to visit her. I'm too afraid to go out and drive the car. Luckily my wife is very understanding and we have great family members, but to be honest with you I feel such a let down to my wife.

      Hi, i share the same way how u feel. Im lucky that my wife is always giving me support. Makes me go out of the house and fight the fear. Even manage to go to crowded places and even take a crowded place. Sometimes i really feel im a let down to her. And to makes things worse, due to this panic disorder, i lost my job but still she is the one who always make me stay positive and sometimes i cant help being stress up cos im jobless now and financially unstable. Really feel i have let her down.

      Hi I've been dealing with anxiety and depression since my teens I'm now 60, the only thing that helped me to cope was to find the rite combination of meds. I still feel some anxiety and depression at times but I can deal with it, and I'm able to function at work.

    Josy are you not here anymore? I'm feeling like most of the posters on this thread and really want to hear stories of anyone overcoming anxiety. I thought it might be my hormones and got some oestrogel the other day. Too soon to know maybe but I keep trying to find a solution. I'm going to get magnesium supplements. I was worried I wasn't getting enough oxygen in my blood but the doc did a test and that's fine too. I keep researching and researching trying to find an answer. Anyone know of anyone who has overcome severe anxiety?

      yeah i dont this josy is on here anymore, may have forgotten the password to the account or has found a cure lol , i am on magnesium powder with added calcuim and zinc, tastes like lemons yumm but it does help i assure you keeps you more awake and alert, try eating more foods that contain iron cause many MANY people are iron defficent, i know i was , it really helps to stay more alert during light hours and helps with sleep

      think of the anxiety and overcoming it like its someone youve murderd, he/she is gone but it just sticks with you. YOU yourself have to over come it YOU are the cure, no tablet/ therapist is a complete cure, im 17 and have gone through so much to discover this, nearly taking my own life if im brutally honest, just remember theres always someone to speak to and if you want im always here day or night and am willing to help, in fact i want to help anyone with it so please if you see this please message me smile we can overcome it together we are all on the same cruise, might aswell have a cupper tea together wink
