Hi, I am 28 years old and I have always had anxiety but mostly after I drink alcohol, That was when I was younger now I only drink once in a while but I dont even want to anymore because the next morning I wake up with severe anxiety. My problem is now when I go to bed I cannot sleep because I cannot stop thinking about negative things, like me dying, or my dad dying, my sister dying, mom ect, then I start to get the lump in my throat like I wanna cry because im soo scared to die and I know that  there is nothing I can do about it, one day its gonna happen, I dont want anyone in my family or people I love to die, and my mind just keeps running and running sometimes I cannot fall asleep until about 3-4 in the morning, sometimes Im scared to go to sleep cause I feel like thats when something is going to happen to me or to someone, I then start to panic and wonder if im crazy and that makes me more scared as to why am I thinking all of these crazy thoughts, is this normal do other people think like this? So now again my mind starts racing, can someone tell me if this is normal to feel this way.... Please help thank you so much.  oh and would you call this anxiety?

Yeah, it's anxiety.  You're suffering obsessive thinking, which is common.  Just relax, there is no normal, so don't try to find it.  One question:  did anyone you know die recently, or even not so recently, is this an anniversary of a painful death?  Oh, and let yourself cry, it helps clear the cobwebs.  I think you need therapy to talk this out, unless you've already tried it and it didn't work.  And you're not crazy, if you were you wouldn't be so aware of what's going on.
