I'm scared I'm going to die, reassurance?

Posted , 16 users are following.

So I've always had quite bad anxiety when I was younger (I'm 18 now, just) and I used to feel like my heart was going too fast and have panic attacks etc) for years but then I had therapy and it really help and substituted a substantial amount. However, for about 3 weeks now I've had such a strange feeling in my head it's hard to describe... It's become constant and now it's the first thing I think of when I wake and go to sleep. My anxiety is very very very bad and I'm constantly scared I'm going to die about such little things my friends things I'm mad. The feeling in my head is no pain whatsoever it's just like a floaty kind of feeling as if I'm not really with it and moving kinda sometimes. Hard to explain. My friends mum also had a brain amurism in December which absolutely scared the life out of me and I think I've been scared ever since. Please someone tell me I'm not going to die and that this horribly weird feeling in my head is just my anxiety?! That's what the doctor said but I just can't convince myself and I never want to go out cos I'm too scared! Please reply. ThanksĀ
