Lately I've been having this feeling that something bad is about to happens to me (impending doom). Deep down I know I'm fine, but my anxiety just pulls me back in to think the absolute worse. I'm only 18 yrs old, but I also had this similar feeling before I started college that later went away as the semester went on, but now it came back when i went to the doctor and found out I had a heart murmur, so that cause me to go over the edge. I also can't picture my future, i feel like I'm stuck in middle school, which was the worst time period of my life and since i can't picture my future, that causes me to think i won't have one. Please tell me someone can relate?

      You cope by accepting everything feeling you have. Your anxiety is misguiding you. I know it’s hard but with practice it will go away.

    Oh I’ve felt like this before with anxiety. It’s called mental depletion. I got the sensation were I had impending doom too! The best thing to do is accept it for what it is. When I feel like idk were my future is going to go, just accept this. It WILL go away!
