i don't get the feeling i am going to die, but i do get the other feelings all the time x

Amongst other things I get the feeling that im having heart problems from my medication. Id probably be a lot worse if i wasnt on meds.

Your never alone on DS

YES!!
huge intense feeling of impending doom either focused on myself or loved ones. here is where it gets strange though, when my mom passed away- I knew it. And within an hour of those intense feelings my sister called me with the bad news.

These feelings can really play with our heads.

Mostly, nothing comes out of these feelings. It is just paranoia. Sometimes, that feeling is so bad that everything around me even sounds angry. like the leaves blowing on a tree. I have no clue how our brains turn things that are normally peaceful feelings into sounds that make us feel so worried. That feeling in your stomach is the worst!!

Sometimes you can help ease it. take a hot bath with some lavender scented candles, music helps me, I will play my favorite people who sing in soft voices... baking helps. nothing better than the smell of chocolate chip cookies... things like that

Hang in there sweetie, am here if you need to talk =)
((hugs))

I totally understand, I feel the same way when I get really anxious, and my mind starts to wonder. You have to realize that those are all lies, try not to believe or even dwell on thoughts like that, I like to treat as a bad nightmare and just move on.

It happens to me as well,and I can't stop feeling that day even for a whole day.Maybeit's good to not think about it and keep yourself busy with activities that make you fell better.

Considering that everyone does eventually die, that feeling really isn't invalidated. But, if thoughts of impending doom and gloom preoccupy your mind and create discord in your life, then there's a problem.

This happened to me about eight months ago. I went 3-4 months without being able to function because I was paralyzed with fear of my own death. It was awful.

I cant stop thinking about death

Yea, that happens. I'm not really sure what to say here. I guess, being somewhere where not a whole lot is going on in life makes the situation worse. Keeping busy, not dwelling on it, and maybe even adding an anti-anxiety med might help. Just know that you're not alone.

Hello!, well I had the same though some time ago (and I have it still, just less often, haha). But thinking of death is normal. Where and when Im going to die, what it feels, how to avoid it, etc, are normal thoughts, I have them :). One book that change my perception was The Death of Ivan Ilyich by Leo Tolstoy. On which Ivan thinks about death and how this just happens without one noticing it. again, those feelings are normal, unless they last a lot of time, or you are obsessed with death hahaha. (I like cemeteries :) ). I hope you throw those thought soon!. Good Luck.

I too get these impending doom feelings. Not only that I obsess over possible ways to die. I can sit in a room and name a hundred ways to be hurt and/or killed by objects in the room freak accidents etc. mostly it's about how other people can be injured or killed. whenever someone's late my mind goes over possible accidents or deadly reasons to them being late. It's an obsession. I try to stop but it's incredibly difficult, I usually talk myself away from panic attacks.

i do.. everytime i feel just the least bit sick.. i feel like im going to die and start having panic attacks

Impending doom feelings are worse when I get them about people I love

Now that I understand 100%.

I am not so great at the whole meditation thing but I still believe you can wish good energy for people. keeping you in my thoughts my friend- sending good energy and strength your way

Its becoming a fantasy

Never mind the fantasy. Pay no attention to the thoughts hun. You are right here with us. Do you know any type of exercises to help ground yourself? I am slowly learning but finding it does help.
