Always DYING

Oh my gosh, I know what you mean about living like this. Even though this disorder is the worst thing I am living with, I still want to live! I'm always afriad that "whoever" comes to "get" you when you are about to die is going to "get" me. I have no clue who are what - I just know that it's going to happen. I always freak myself out about it. I start on prozac on wednesday and it has worked well for me in the past so hopefully it will help with this as well. Thanks for the reply. It really helps to know I'm not alone. Michele

Don't worry-I have the exact same thing. I pray every night before I go to sleep that I will wake up the next morning. I am constantly in fear of sudden death, every day. Maybe the Dr.'s have missed something or maybe all this panic is finally going to do me in-I know the feeling! I even imagine peoples' reaction to my death and my obituary and that really freaks me out! I so don't want to die. Even with the way my life is at the moment I still want to live it. My doc always asks me if I feel like hurting myself (ie killing myself) and I always say no, I always feel like I'm on the brink of death anyways. I have to say, in the past few days, I think the Celexa is kicking in and I'm feeling ever so slightly more relaxed about this. Sarah

I always feel like I am going to die of SOMETHING, some mysterious illness previously undiagnosed, dying while I am asleep, or just dying for well, "natural" causes. Other times I feel like I am just going to drop dead for no reason whatsovever. This constantly plagues me. I'm so afraid that I am going to die, even when I am not having any other symptoms. It's always on the back of my mind even when I try to distract myself from it. I think dying frightens me most because I have 3 young children I would be leaving behind. And I can not deal with the thought of all the pain they would have to go through at such tender ages. (6, 4, and 9 months) Does anyone else feel like this even when they are not having a panic attack or am I just crazy? :8o: Ugh, help! Michele
