Death and Anxiety
I feel like my anxiety is getting better (thank goodness) I still get these feeling like I'm going to die. Can anyone relate to this? If I wake up in the middle of the night the first thing that comes to my mind is me dying!!
I agree with you, nursegirl6572, "As scary as anxiety FEELS, it will not harm you."
The thing that most of us have to get through is not letting those feelings effect us negatively. I've only been suffering with my anxiety for about six months now and some days are better than others but I know that anxiety is something that I can control. WE ALL have the power to get through it.

As you can see from the above replies, this is a very common aspect of anxiety! You're definitely not alone.
Let's face it...the idea of death is scary to think about, even for someone without an anxiety issue!
One thing i can tell you that will hopefully ease your mind is that NO ONE has ever died from anxiety, without an underlying medical problem being present. As scary as anxiety FEELS, it will not harm you.
The good news is, as you address your anxiety and start feeling better, those feelings and thoughts will resolve as well.
Hang in there!!

The thought of leaving my kids without a mother. Just wondering what would happen...I just have weird feelings.
i'm so sorry to hear that. but at least we all know what it's like to be the way that we are, day in and day out, huh? i hate it. i really do hate it. and if i DO have a worse enemy, i wouldn't wish this on them!
Hey, ive been having really bad anxiety for 2 months now! Ive gone to the Er 2 times, with multiple tests run, which come back normal, but still i have chest pains, and symptoms! Its worse for me at so i can totally relate with you, because i wake up with sharp chest pains or i feel as if i cant breathe. Also i feel like i am going to die, and thats every night! Your not alone at all.
before i even knew what anxiety and panic attacks were, i was always afraid of death. but then, i started to get actual panic attacks and started to think that i was dying. the littlest cramp i would get would trigger this thought in my mind that it was something that was going on that would shortly lead to my death. and to be completely honest with you, i still feel that way almost every single hour of the day.
so, you're not alone in this. what sort of thing[s] scare you?
