I am at rock bottom. My anxiety and panics are worse now then they ever have been. Existing is just getting to be too much for me to do. All I am doing every second, and even in my sleep, is obsessing and panicking. My mind races constantly with worries. I just don't think I can last like this for much longer. Even though it was bad before I had my good days or at least I would have good hours, but now it is constant and never ending. This is not living, this is just existing to be miserable and in pain. There is no joy or relief anymore.

I am constantly worried about my health. You name it I worry about it. My two major things are the constant feeling of not being able to get enough air in or like I am suffocating. I am also constantly worrying about my heart. I even dream of it. There is no relief ever! I just want my brain to stop! I want to stop worrying, to stop panicking, to stop obsessing, but it will not let me even get a moment of relief. I am so tired.I am so scared. I have nowhere to turn and nowhere to go.

I have just gone through a scare with a bowel infection and went through lots of test with that and even though I had all sorts of test and they knew exactly what my problem is a little voice in the back is always saying "what if they were wrong?", " what if they missed something?". I have the constant feeling of doom. Like any moment I am going to drop dead from a undiagnosed heart condition or that they missed cancer somewhere and by the time they find it , it will be too late. Oh my God it's too much. I just can't do this anymore.

" hi
i have them too,going on almost 5 years every night just about based on the little bit of info ive been able to gather the panic or anxiety attacks are at least partly, due to addrenaline being out of whack and trigger addrenaline and the" fight or flight response"wikipedia could explain it better than me but just a thought

the fight or flight response is "designed" to signal to your brain or the brain signals to the body however that works
that you are in a life or death situational though in our case(people with this disorder)it can go off when we are not even in danger,but the effect is the same anyway my point i was hopeing made sense was
your sense of being in danger,of these being signs of a more serious illness exc could whell be just panic attacks(ofcoarse im not a doctor)just based on my expieriance they can be extremely intense and cause all kindsof bizarre and very real pains in the body ive been to the emergency room twice thinking i was having a heart attack and gotten a chest x-ray,none of those found anything i have begun drinking frozen fruit smoothies i try to drink them every day it seems to help i sincerely hope you feel better
take care "
