I sometimes feel like my body will shut down
Posted , 4 users are following.
Hi everyone, I hope you guys are well.
I have been dealing with panic attacks and anxiety for the past two months and I can say that it has got better. However, after all that I have felt, the dying sensation and heart race, I found myself questioning life so often and sometimes I feel like my body should just shut down without any reason. It is just a random though that occurs. I have familiarized myself with the fear of death and I can say that I accept its natural course, but I am not sure why it just feels sometimes like my brain will just shut down. I have been to doctors and my heart is healthy, so the heart attack anxiety pretty much went away, but I still have this thing with my head and brain that sometimes just appears out of nowhere. I am meditating, listening to affirmations so all of this is manageable, I am venting here so more people might be in the same situations and we can discuss together! I wish you all health and abundance. Stay safe
P.S. Since I have been taking magnesium and calcium I have felt so much better, what other vitamins did you take and helped?

anxiety and stress create extremely negative random thoughts in the mind. It can be very disturbing. But we don’t have to let it take us over. It can be managed better. Some degree of anxiety may always be there but you can feel better.
Your mind and body are not going to shut down. Extreme stress and anxiety can make it feel that way. I highly suggest that you get some counseling for this because it’s very hard to manage alone. The counselor can give you some tools to help manage all of this. They see patients suffering the same way on a daily basis and they know how to help.
stay and think more positive thoughts no matter how you’re feeling because you can eventually retrain your brain to go more positive rather than negative.
I’ve been through all of this and still have to work on it but it’s much more manageable now. I was determined to not let it control me. I found that the more self-pity I had and the more upset I was about it, the more it had control over me. So I got more tough. I got a daily routine of healthy eating, exercise, more confident . I would pull my mind out of negativity and fear every single time it happened. I refocus to positivity. One of the worst things that I did was sit around and think which 100% of the time would get me into a horrible negative thought process.
You have to get up and do something, move, etc. have a plan for each day. You are definitely not alone. Millions of people are going through the same thing. So go get that support!

I get this a lot. Ive been told that I am healthy, but I feel like my body is just falling apart somehow and is going to stop working properly. I am constantly worried something is wrong.

hey there, thank you for your reply. I just wanted to say that it gets better, especially after I have done some tests and an MRI scan, which proved that all is well
Now I do not get it anymore, but I still want to go to a psychologist, just so I can fully escape from this disorder, I really want to live fully without stressing out about everything.
For example now I am stressing out about my memory even though I can remember clearly things and my MRI came back with good results, but I imagine it is just anxiety, so just hang in there. If something were to happen, it would have happened by now, that also helps me to get through each day.

I hope that works for you! I get so many random aches, pains and shortness of breath, but I have had blood work, and EKG and was recently in the hospital with what turned out to be a severe case of mono and had an x-ray, ultrasound and many blood tests. I try to tell myself if something was wrong, they would have caught it while trying to figure out what I had (urgent care dr had thought it was lymphoma). The hospital couldn't have missed something that big, right?

This is just my opinion, but I think if something would not look right they would have seen it on the EKG and especially the x-ray. I only thought I had a heart attack twice since battling anxiety and since the x-ray I had it all has been better to be hones, same with the MRI. I just have this weird feeling that I will just forget things and that builds up my anxiety a little bit but I will work on that.
So to resume, I definitely think they would have caught something if you were not healthy, I still get random chest pains, but that does not mean they are bad, sometimes the body just hurts while doing his thing, and they might as well be your muscles that hurt from all the tension.
If nothing came up on the tests you should definitely be alright.
