HELP, PLEASE HELP!!!!!

I HAVE BEEN DEALING WITH ANXIETY AND DEPRESSION FOR THE PAST FEW MONTHS. MY ANXIETY WAS GETTING BETTER FOR A MOMENT BUT THERE HAVE BEEN ALOT OF CELEBRITIES DYING YOUNG LATELY AND I KNOW SOMEONE WHO WAS 20 WHO DIED IN A CAR ACCIDENT AND IT HAS BROUGHT MY ANXIETY BACK BAD!!!!! IM AFRAID TO GO TO SLEEP BECAUSE I MIGHT DIE IN MY SLEEP, IM AFRAID TO GO OUT THE HOUSE BECAUSE I MIGHT DIE IN A CAR ACCIDENT OR GET HIT BY A CAR. IM AFRAID PERIOD THAT I MIGHT DIE SOON. ITS LIKE I HAVE A FEELING THAT IM GONNA DIE SOON AND A FEAR IM GONNA DIE SOON. IM VERY RELIGIOUS SO I FEEL LIKE GOD IS TELLING ME IM GONNA DIE SOON AND THAT SCARES ME EVEN MORE. ITS GETTING SO BAD THAT I AM AFRAID FOR MY FAMILY AND FIANCE TO LEAVE BECAUSE I FEEL LIKE SOMETHING MIGHT HAPPEN TO THEM. I GET VERY PARANOID IF MY FIANCE DOESNT CALL ME WHEN HE SAYS HE WILL OR IF MY PARENTS TAKE TOO LONG TO COME HOME I START PANICKING THINKING THAT THEY GOT IN AN ACCIDENT AND DIED. I ALSO START PLAYING OUT SENERIOS OF THEIR DEATHS AND MINE IN MY HEAD AND THAT TERRIFIES ME!!!!!!!! I KNOW ITS MY ANXIETY BUT I STILL GET WORRIED AND SCARED TO DEATH. I DONT WANNA KILL MYSELF BUT I THINK IF IM DEAD I WONT FEEL LIKE THIS BUT I AM AFRAID TO DIE!!!!! I HAVE A LOT OF PHYSICAL SYMPTOMS DUE TO THIS ANXIETY AND IF I GET A HEADACHE OR A LEG ACHE I AUTOMATICALLY THINK THAT ITS A BRAIN TUMOR OR DEEP VEIN THROMBOSIS AND I WILL DIE!!!!! OR I GET CHEST PAINS AND I THINK MY HEART IS GOING TO GIVE OUT OR I GET A PAIN IN MY ARM AND I THINK THAT IM HAVING A HEART ISSUE AND IM GOING TO DIE!!!!! THERES SO MUCH MORE I CAN SAY ABOUT HOW I FEEL BUT I WONT BORE ANYONE ELSE WITH THIS.....I REALLY NEED SOME HELP.....IS THIS GOD OR MY ANXIETY AND MY MIND PLAYING A MEAN TRICK ON ME?

Yes, you need help...these fear reactions can be treated very effectively...be sure and see a psychiatrist who can treat you with both talk therapy and medication...do not hesitate.

P.S. EVERYTIME I HEAR THE PHONE RING IM PARANOID THAT ITS SOMEONE SAY A FAMILY MEMBER DIED AND RIGHT NOW I CAN NOT TAKE ANY TRUAMATIC SITUATIONS LIKE THAT!!!!!

Is this anxiety or God???

[zack32]

You say you are religious, do you have a bible you can read? Read James 1: 13. That will answer your above question as to " is this anxiety or God?".
