New to forum ^^
19 YO F / anxiety/depression
Resently prescribed anti-depressants
constantly feeling like im going to die or that i'll never be normal again

Anyone else have real problems not being able to grasp the fact that everything they feel/experiance with anxiety disorders is normal and that your not actually dying?

I've had blood tests all normal a CT scan last year normal also, but I still think like i have a terminal illness.

I'm always feeling like im not who I use to be and that i'll never feel how I use to 24/7.

Is this normal to feel this way even having been told by numerous doctors your not going to die?

Me to i know exactly how you feel and its horrible it slowly takes over your life and you literally think about it most of the time ,... the hardest time for me is when my dauighter is asleep .. i start thinking some ill ness wil ltake her away from me or vice versa .constantly thinking any symptom is cancer or something else serious .. I also have a pressure in my head .. not painful but just feels foggy almost and liek someone is squeezing it .. however mad that sounds... i went to my doctor who said the same it is anxiety .
I am currently having shooting pains .cramps in my arm intermittently has anyone heard of this being connected to anxiety or depression .. Im not on anti depressants although prob should be ... my birth mother(Im adopted ) has manic depression and severe anxiety so i think its genetic .
One thing i have learnt though is stress and anxiety can do very strange things physically .. my doctor always says it has to come out somewhere and if your not dealign with your problems mentally as in talking about them or facing them then they will start to show physically .. does that make sense . so glad there are people like me out there .. my family all think im mad when i ring them telling them of my latest health worry
