Anxiety is a physical condition marked by intense and persistent feelings of distress, fear, angst or dread. General anxiety caused by routine day-to-day stresses usually passes quickly and is experienced by almost everyone at one time or another. However, such feelings that linger over time and are very difficult to cope with, and which lack a clear cause, may indicate...

I don't know what to do anymore!

Hello everyone, well today is my birthday and i wish it wasn't. It doesn't feel like my birthday. This is the first year that I experience anxiety and it's horrible. Right now i just don't know what to do!! I'm so fed up already it makes me sick. Right now i just feel angry about it because i don't know how anxiety can have more control over me than me controlling it. Last night was a rough night, I couldn't sleep all I could think of was about dying, but physically I'm good i don't know why i get that scary thought. I don't want to sound preachy or anything but I know that God is with me and he still wants to give me more days to live. Why do I feel this way? Has anyone ever felt this? I'm s scared and terrified, lately i haven't been able to eat right i feel nauseous and my stomach hurts. I have a weird feeling on my chest too, as if something bad is going to happen. Any words help right now in this tough time. Thank you and God bless!

Happy Birthday, and sometimes, you just have to move, keep moving, and look for the moving to be enough.

Best wishes.

Happy Belated Birthday ! I know wxactly how you feel. I also am new to this, started suffering in Feb. I never had it before ( well , at least I was never aware ) but it is tiring. I have been given meds but I am hesitant on taking them . I am scared . The feeling is constant anxiousness . I feel it in my stomach , chest and throat . I was getting panic attacks as well . Living like this is absolute torture...and what really boggles me is I have no idea where or why this came about..I hope you are ok .You are not alone..Best Always

These feeling especially those of feeling something bad is going to happen.. I am familiar with those all the time. As I mentioned anxiety is most time at night when it seems everything comes tumbling down on me. I do not dream or think of dying but I do have nightmares, seeing people who have passed on. In my dream I am actually communicating with them. How scary is that?
Happy belated birthday to you hope next one will be better

Hi absflo! Happy Birthday! I am sorry to hear you're having such a tough time. When reading your post, I felt like I could have been the one writing it. Last night, I couldn't sleep, all I could think about was that maybe that night would be my last. I constantly obsess about death and I always feel like I'm dying. I think that part of the reason we feel death anxiety is because of the state of this planet. Recently, it seems like there is always some horrific thing happening killing so many people. I think that is why I feel a sense of impending doom. It's a frightening world we live in these days and creates a sense of hopelessness. I can't give much advice, since I am suffering too, but I will say therapy can be helpful! Maybe give it a try? I hope things get better for you real quick!

    Reality Check

    Years ago, I won a mirrored armoire from my job.  It's in my bedroom but I rarely stand in front of it.  Yesterday, I had to have a dexascan done so I had to change into a gown.  There was a full length mirror in the changing room.  I'm aware that I gained 5 to 7 pounds over the last year from cheating on Keto but I didn't know what it looked like.  It was a reality check.
