Sense of Impeding Doom for DAYS

I have been miserable for the past week, because I have this constant feeling that I'm going to die and I've had a bunch of other weird symptoms like dissociation, and derealization. And it won't go away, it's seriously ruining my life right now. I'm trying to tell myself that it's anxiety, but my head won't believe me, and honestly it's hard for me to believe it's my anxiety. mainly because I don't really feel anxious ? or at least I don't think I do. I feel depressed & hopeless. I do have a therapist but I won't be able to see her anytime soon. And I need help now. Like I don't know if what I'm experiencing is anxiety or not, and I need to know if anyone else has experienced what I've experienced, and how to get over it.

      my head feels weird, there are times where i feel extreme anxiety, but it only lasts for like a second. it happens whenever i think about the future. i don't know i can't really explain it. i saw a post online about being an adult, and in that moment i felt extreme anxiety, that went away quickly.

    I have exactly the same feelings at the moment. Mornings are by far the worst, I dread waking up.

    I too, have nothing much to feel anxious about but have been struggling to breathe for days.

    I think I has been having this for days too everything started like 5 months ago, It started with anxiety by some cause and then It turned to intrusive thoughts and catastrophe anxiety. Then, when I started over-thinking and try to google it, things get worse to the point of Sense Of Impending Death and OCD (try not to think about it, try to get everything off an unlucky number, try to avoid every situation that is familiar with a tragedy movie scene or a state of mind that is like someone predicting their future. And I was going crazy. That has been better a little but I start to over thinking about time and the universe and life and etc. I really feel lost .
