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 am so scared right now.
I feel like i cant think at all. It scares me so much. My mind feels absolutely blank. I dont know what to do right now. I am very panicky. I feel like im going to die. My vision is very weird and my eyes are sensitive to the bright lights. I have little tiny spots in my vision and it freaks me out. My hands feel numb and weird and theyve been like this for 2 months or so. I feel like absolutely nothing is making sense at all, and it's freaking me out. I dont know what to do. I am terrified i am having a stroke or something. I think im dying and it scares me so much. I hope im not dying :(( I feel so weird tonight. :((

You do not feel weird tonite. You feel like this every night. This is perfectly normal for you. And you survived it every other night, so I am sure you will survive this one too. :)

I am so sorry you are hurting tonight. A horrible panic like this is so scary. I start with deep breaths and trying any other techniques that work. Do you have anything that helps you calm down some? Are you on any meds?

The way you described it sounds like the exact same way you describe it every night. Nothing you said is any different than any other time. And again, you don't really think you are dying. If you did, you wouldn't be spending your last few moments on a computer. You would be on the phone with 911. Maybe it would help you if you read your posts for the last 30, 60 or 90 days and see how you always write the same symptoms over and over. Its kind of like you "forget" from day to day that you just went through this the night before and nothing was wrong with you. Maybe if you stuck a note on your mirror that said "Tonite, I am going to freak out and think I am dying. Its no big deal." I mean, this is your routine and it has been for the longest time, and yet every night you wait for it to "attack" you from out of nowhere like the boogie man. By now, I would think you would plan on opening the door for the boogie man every single day with his favorite pipe and slippers. He isn't exactly a surprise guest, and you need to plan for him instead of acting like you had no idea he was coming. And remember, there is nothing wrong with feeling weird. You are the one who labels that as "bad". People feel weird all the time but they don't freak out and think they are dying. Just some more for you to think about. Good luck!

I agree with lilygirl. I do the same I worry everyday about the same thing and then I come on here and realize well this so called heart attack I'm having has been happening since october! If I had a dollar for every hour I spent thinking I was dieing I would be a couple of thousands richer at this point! I too say the same thing "but this time feels different"...its all a vicious cycle hang in there! And please keep saying to yourself I AM NOT HAVING A STROKE! The more you think you are the more the panic and anxiety sets in.
