Hey guys I just wanna start by saying you guys are all brave and I love you. Its been a round year and a half to say the least I quit alcohol and smoking February 2nd 2016 and its been the roller coaster of my life ever since I always feel like Im dying my vision is sometimes bad out of no where I feel like something has to always be wrong with me and its because I had a traumatic experience the day I changed my life around IVe been stuck thinking I would never get rid of anxiety thinking the worse for myself and its when I had help from the 3 most important people around me my parents and god they have guided me and gave me strength to try and beat my demons to defeat everything Im feeling and ofcourse everyday is a challenge but I will get through it and so will all of you I promise! Thank you guys for reading this

Hi, thank god I found this page! I've become very reliant on my other half for comfort at night.. knowing somebody is lay beside me takes the fear of being alone away. It's obviously taken a toll on him, and although he's supportive and loving I don't think he fully understands it and not a lot of other people in my life understand the extent of this intense fear I feel almost on a daily basis, so to find all of you sensitive and beautiful souls on here has really made me feel like I am not and never will be alone. Reading these have helped a lot this evening. I'm alone and every pain I feel, every moment of feeling like my heart has just stopped and wanting to cry my eyes out has kind of helped. I wish nobody had to deal with this ****, but I think reminding ourselves we're not alone is helpful, plus... for all the times in the past we'be thought we were going to die... did we? No! I think we all have the feeling of dying completely wrong. I don't think we'll have time to react to the ''feeling'' of it. It's easier for me to say this now because you have all helped me chill out tonight, and I know we all know it's true! But some days are tougher to remember then others. Nobody is alone here, sending you peace and love everyone! Xoxo

Hello everyone.  I myself do not have this problem, but my wife does.  For years now every pain she gets she thinks its a heart attack, blood clot, cancer etc.  We've been together for 26 years and this has happened for the past 15-20 of them at least.  Been to the ER multiple times, all normal.  She does have bouts of rapid heart rate and has been prescribed metropolol tartrate. I feel terrible because now when she says she feels like she's dying I kind of get annoyed because I feel that she's fine and just has anxiety but I can't tell her that.  Seems nothing I do or say to try and comfort her works anymore.  What can I do to try and make her feel better when this is happening?

I always think i am too. I constantly think of a new disease when something hurts. I am so paranoid when i am in public or home i constantly have to tell myself i am ok. I feel like i am a stranger in my own body. I feel like i will faint at any given time. What is sad is we know it sounds crazy; yet continue to stress. I just had sinus surgery
and blame most of my problems on it ( cause i am not healed yet) i fear also that i don't want to live like this the rest of my life and it gives me anxiety thinking i can't change. My mom had a brain anuryism so i of course believe i am having one at all times. I want to have another child but have been infertile ( i believe because all my anxieties) just not fair -feel so alone. I don't want to tell too many people because i don't want people to think i sm crazy. My bf getting so fed up with my problems, he claims i am a hypochondriac. I started acupuncture but it really hasn't helped too much and i now think i will die from acupuncture....so sad!

I understand I feel the same way :(
Every since i was a kid i always had a fear of just dropping dead I don't know how to shake it so no you're not alone
I am so sorry you're going through this. I have the same thing and Im a medical student. Talking to a counselor or therapist helps and finding ways to relieve the anxiety helps a lot too. I have found that meditation and listen to frequencies called solfeggio tones help. Listen to 528hz. You can easily access it on YouTube or find the station 528 miracle radio and if you want to you can buy them on iTunes the artist is source vibrations. They have many wonder different frequencies to listen to that help to calm and relaxe you. Good luck and remember fear is just an illusion it's not real.
