    Im feeling this way too, it all started when I had my first big panic attack after trying a marijuana brownie, the week afterwards was hell, my symptoms worsened I went to the ER, after tests they found nothing. This week I got more blood work done and have an appointment next week, a dr told me it could be a thyroid issue. Some days are ok, others are unbearable. I'm being such a burden on my boyfriend and family and I'm tired of feeling this way, I've always been an anxious person but not this bad

    The feeling of dying is one of the most terrifying things people experiencing anxiety get. Try to calm yourself down and remember that it's your brain (or should I say subconscious and/or unconscious mind) playing tricks on you. Remember this feeling will pass and although it is hard, I know, convince yourself that the dread you are feeling is unfounded and you're going to be okay. 

    The brain is a mysterious thing. Science still hasn't uncovered much of it's mysteries. In good days, do whatever you can to strenghten your mentality. The bad days will come when your anxiety will spike and you'll need it to battle with your anxiety. 

    Anxiety was the last thing I expected to latch on to me. I was never anxious, never worried too much about anything, I though I was always able, and would be able to keep my cool...until anxiety bit me in the butt. I've probbaly gone to the hospital more times in the last year than I had my whole life. 

    I would like to believe I am getting better. I think I'm getting better...I'm getting better...Actually how we think and see our situation in our mind is a big factor in getting better or staying within this terrible state. There will be good and bad days, but you can fight the bad days. Accept you have anxiety and that your mind is your single worst enemy and best friend in all this. Realize that you can control your conscious mind, and altough you can't control your anxiety directly, as it can surprise you out of the blue without any apparent reason (because your subconscious and/or unconscious mind is a troll somtimes) you can work to strengthen your mentality, do productive things, distract yourself/keep busy and eventually start becomming stronger than your anxiety. It is a long process to recovery but you can get better everyday. One day you'll be able to crush it completely, and this period in your life will seem to have just been a bad dream.

      Hi Nadia hope this reassures you your symptoms does sound like anxiety attacks. Mine's started 8 years ago with a panic attack now my symptoms are chest pains back pains some like tingles in my face but not on one side on both sides together. And feel like when I'm walking I can just collapse. I also get sharp stabbing pains in my head but these symptoms vary from person to person but my advice would definitely go and get checked out by a doctor just to confirm it is anxiety

    Im so glad i am not the only one. My name is ruff 25yo. Ive been suffering with GERD and health anxiety. I do take meds for gerd but i dont wanna do the same with my anxiety. Everytime i feel pain anywhere in my body i go into panic attack so severe that ive been rushed into er for several times already. But for the past two days its different. Yesterday and today, when i woke up, my body feels so weak, my mind goes blank and i feel like something is off and i thought "well yea today might be the day" and the most disturbing part is that i no longer feel the fear of dying. But i do feel dizzy and nauseuos tho. I was walking to work today thinking i will be having cardiac arrest/stroke/heart attack but nothing came. It feels like i just gave up on my life. I do talk to my friends about my anxiety and they do comfort me but it seems that it doesnt help. I no longer know what to do.

      Lightheaded and dizziness are the main symptoms of anxiety..if it ruins your life and you can't get over it u can take cipralex 1/2 pill every day for 3 months

    I feel this way today. I have a lot on my plate w work kids and outside activities. I know something has to give. I'm getting ready to go to a party w my kids and I feel like I'm on the verge of tears and like something bad is going to happen. I have this feeling most of the time. Though on the outside I appear normal and seem very functioning.  I'm an overachiever and seem to hold it all together but inside I'm running from danger constantly. I fear I will leave my kids soon. Something will happen (sickness) and I won't see my kids grow up. I feel like it's fact. I can't share the feeling. I'm tired of feeling nervous, overwhelmed, sick, sad, scared.
