Why do I feel like I'm dying/going to die?

Posted , 22 users are following.

Hello, again.

I've posted on here a few times already.

But, this is a question no one has answered me.

Why is it, that without having anxiety, I still feel like I'm going to die? It's a feeling I feel every day for most of the say and it scares me, a lot.

And also, why does depersonilization occur? And how do you deal with it?

Better yet, how do you deal with both? I have a very very bad feeling I'm going to die and I'm afraid I'm going to fall and die soon.

Good tips/advice?

    Hey. So this is probably too late but it won't hurt to try. I too am experiencing the same exact thing. I also feel such thing. And it happens everyday, almost every time and the feeling just comes out of nowhere. I also don't have anxiety when such occurs. And it also scares me a lot.

    It happens to often that it affects my life.

    I also experience depersonalization although I have no knowledge as to why it occurs.

    I have no amswer however to both of our situation. I also need someone to help me with what I'm feeling. However I'm hoping that with this, you may feel like you are not the only one who feels that way.
