It is Getting Out Of Control

At this moment, as I write this I have a flood of emotions going through me. All of which are tearing me inside out. It all started with a conversation with a friend and one that I now regret having with her.

I am studying and have made a few friends through the course. One had came over as she was concerned about what one of the other students had been saying. She proceeded to tell me that this student receives "messages" and was told that a couple of the students at school were going to die. I asked her to stop the conversation but she continued and as she did I started to panic!!!

This student that had received the "messages" told her that he gets them all the time and he has no idea how to control them. The messages come into his head and he does not know where they come from. She then mentioned a couple of names of who it was going to happen to and for some reason I had this horrible feeling she was going to mention mine. I jumped up and told her to stop. From this moment I have been crying and deeply concerned that I am going to be one of those that he mentioned is going to die. I have a great fear of dying and this has just made me feel out of control. I do not know what to do. My husband has told me to ignore it as he does not believe in these types of things but I cannot shake it. I cannot sleep, I am tearful and want to hide from everyone.

I know this may sound crazy to some. I cannot avoid these people as I go to school with them. Any advice is appreciated. I am really at my wits end.

" This person sounds incredibly cruel to do this to you knowing how this scares you. I would not put too much faith into what "messages" this person is getting. Please cut this person out of your life. You don't need anyone trying to increase your fears. "

" Hey hun,
did this person know you have panic attacks before they told you this? I only ask because i'm curious if this person was trying to make you panic, or thought of it as a sick joke. The person who is "having these messages" is either trying to get attention, or is sick. They may have a disorder if they are "hearing voices". I honestly wouldn't worry about it. I know it's easier said than done, this person is clearly an ass to keep telling you this when you are already upset. A normal person would feel empathy for you getting upset and stop.
I hope this helps hun, and hope you feel better. Hugz! "

" You are not alone things like that freak me out to until I have about a million attcks and a nervous break down only to realise , I was over reacting. I couldnt even watch Deep Impact because of the way it made me feel, I have just started getting alot of panic attacks and anxiety again after a year of peace all beacuse of my over paranoia, I get a heart flutter and my body goes into overdrive i think the worst, dont listen to her, Because only God knows when its our time, Good Luck and God Bless.
