Anxiety :: Afraid To Die
i went to the ER yesterday coz i am having stabbing pains on the left side of my chest and my left arm in feeling weak...i thought i am having a heart attack and feeling very anxious...the doctor then examined me and ask for my family history so in the end he said i'm having hypertension and unstable angina and prescribed meds for the blood pressure and the chest pains...he said that i would be in that meds for a lifetime now that i have to accept in even at the young age coz i inherited my father's sickness...honestly i am not convinced of the diagnosis coz i failed to mention that my bp isn't really that high on normal days and the chest pains come and go though he also said that if the chest pains come and go it is why it is called unstable angina and it will never go back to normal since i have it already. on normal days my bp range from 120-130/80-100 so that isn't that bad i think...what i think i really need is the reassurance that this is just anxiety...the truth is i'm afraid to die that's why every weird feeling i get i automatically think that there's something wrong with me, or that i am sick and the "what if's" thoughts came rushing in and my mind is racing...that when my heartbeat started to race, then i fell dizzy and more thoughts will came till i cant contain it and feel like fainting. i can't stop the "what if" thoughts and every time it stumble my mind it caused me to what i believe are panic attacks...my body is in constant pain: back, neck, head and limbs...usually accompanied by numbness and tingling sensations...sometimes there are cold spots in my chest too...i always feel bloated, belching, gagging, stomach pains and sometimes choking feeling...my stomach aches as soon as i finished eating and is usually followed by diarrhea. there are times that i feel so alone even though i am surrounded by family and friends that i know truly cared for me... and i have trouble sleeping since i got this weird feelings...i am afraid to sleep whenever i feel these symptoms coz i'm afraid i will never be able to wake up again... i tried laying down and deep breathing whenever i feel my heartbeat in starting to race and it helps a bit...reading also helps as it takes my mind out of what i am currently thinking...i tried taking melatonin 3mg last night and i don't think it is good for me as all i can feel if my head is spinning and i wake up every hour...we are trying to get an appointment to a psychiatrist on april 4 hoping they can tell me what's going on coz i feel like i can't deal with this no more and feel like losing my mind...and i hate it! i just want it to stop now coz i can't be myself...i want to try doing exercise but i am afraid it will make my heartbeat faster or even cause a heart attack...also whenever i go out..i feel dizzy that's why i stay in most of the time...i have difficulty concentrating and seems like my mind is at random thinking of all kinds of thing..most of it makes me anxious too! can anyone please give me a good advice on how to deal or lessen this until i get checked by someone or therapy coz i feel like i am loosing it...

I know i am irrational a lot of the time, but i'm afraid of an aneurysm. Ok so a few days ago i felt this pain in my neck (right side) and idk if it was muscle pain, but it seemed that whenever i did turn my head to the right it would hurt a little bit more. I was feeling it for maybe 2 days. Now I feel a pain in my forehead (right side). I woke this morning and it started maybe 15 mins after i woke up (it did not wake me up from my sleep). Its on and off now. What can this be? Is it a regular headache?
My blood pressure is normal. It does feel like my eyes are sensitive to the brightness, for the past few days. I'm not congested or anything. No nausea, no weakness, i do feel a little lightheaded.
my anxiety is not making anything better.
Anxiety :: When People Or Things Change
I get anxiety when people or things change.... even people I do not know. Today at work I heard that a child who is two years old is on her last days due to numerous problems. I felt anxiety shoot through my body even though I do not know this child. I know we all feel sad when we hear something like this but I cannot understand my body reaction to this. Another example is that there is a house behind me which is now sold and I feel anxiety that they are leaving even though I have never met them and I dont even know their names. What is this....I don't understand my feelings.

Hi since last ear in April I've had really bad anxiety . Its to the point where I wake up and in my head I say ' whats the point of living if I dont eat much , if I'm constantly thinking of things , and the fear of me dying soon ' . Is this normal ? I'm scared to sleep at night cause I'm afraid I won't wake up ! I often pray to God that he doesn't take me or neither of my family members yet . Not till we're 100 !! But I feel like he will take me soon . This is really stressing me out ! To the point where my appetite is off and I overthink so much . I'm in tears.
View 1 RepliesAnxiety :: Fear / Scared Of People And Places
For as long as I can remember, I've been worrying about what others think of me. It's affected me so much that I can't go outside without feeling that I look as perfect as I can, and I must have everything (like a mobile, emergency money, pens, inhalers, lighters etc) that I could possibly need in any circumstance on my person- only with others with whom I am comfortable with. I won't ever go outside on my own. I can't use toilets where there's even a slight chance that anyone can hear me pee, even in my own house. It's as if my bladder locks up and I don't need to anymore (I've had infections because of this). I can't swallow food in social situations, and that's if I can bring myself to eat it in the first place (I feel as if everyone is looking at me). I can't orgasm in front of my partner, no matter how close I get. I can't go into my own garden anymore because of a fear that people can see me.
I'm here because I'm too scared to go to my doctor, on my own or with someone I'm close to, because I don't want to go to a semi-unfamiliar place and also because I don't want to talk about all this to a stranger- no matter how much I'm assured that they're professionals and will not judge me. I'm always uncomfortable, even alone. I'll do something that I wouldn't want to do in front of someone else, and I'll feel as if they were there and feel ashamed. It's stopping me from doing so many things that I want to, and I plan my days around whether I'll feel comfortable here or there, or if a restaurant has suitable toilets.

View 37 RepliesAnxiety :: Feel Like I'm Going To Die
Obviously the doctors and hospitals are going to misdiagnose me because I'm only 15 I really feel like I'm going to have a heart attack or something and nobody believes it. I have just about EVERY symptom and I've only had 2 short ECGs which aren't that accurate and a chest X-ray so I don't think I've had enough tests..they're not going to give me anymore then the only time people Will know about it is when it's too late... Also I have school on Monday and I really don't want to go incase I have a heart attack there! The doctors don't know what's wrong with me and why I'm in all of this pain so they tell me to take painkillers which don't work!!

View 1 RepliesTrimethoprim :: Afraid Of Taking It For UTI
I've just been prescribed trimethoprim for UTI and after reading all the posted I'm so afraid of taking them. I had a reaction to norethisterone just over a year ago and it was not very nice at all and I don't want to feel that ever again. But if I don't take these tablets then I'm worried I'll still have the UTI. Is it worth asking my doctor for an alternative?
View 5 RepliesDoctor Phobia - Afraid Of Going To The Physician
Is anybody else afraid of going to the doctor? Adding up my medical visits in 2016, I've had eleven appointments, including testing and lab work, plus my surgery last month. Today, I have to see my GI Doctor and will have a colonoscopy at the end of June. There will not have been a single month in the first six months of this year that I haven't seen a doctor. I feel overwhelmed by it. I always expect the worst now, having gone through so much in a short period of time. I have started exercising again and am working gradually on getting in better shape and wish that would help the anxiety some. I dread seeing doctors now.

View 5 RepliesI'm 21, And Depressed - Made Mistakes And I Regret It
The fireworks went off, its new year. I've never felt so alone and depressed. I'd been thinking about my life, and I can't stand it anymore.
Is it true that there can never be a second chance in life? I made mistakes and I regret it; I want to start anew, but life just doesn't seem to work that way. When a part of your life crumbles, the rest will follow. I am a college dropout since August, and my family just gives me hell. They mock me in every chance given to them, stating how useless and helpless I am wasting my life, and everything that I do is bad, useless and stupid according to them. My friends look down on me, and many of them take joy in my condition now.
I don't know who to turn to, or who to trust anymore. Everyone just seems to be against everything I do. I don't know how to pick myself up again, since everything I do is judged. I am very very sad inside, but I can't even cry. No one will pity me.
