Feeling like I'm going to die (Page 2)

Iam a 23 yr old I have three kids and I was normal until I had my last child which was feb 22 2010 I got the depo prevera shot n April of 2010 and about a month after that I started having anxiety and panic attacks I've been to the hospital like 10 times n to several doctors and everyone says it's in my head it's depression anxiety and panic disorder I'm not so sure about that I feel like I'm going to die all day everyday Im scared to walk because I'm scared I'm gonna collapse I feel like I don't have ne legs when I walk like I'm on air or something I don't even feel real ne more nothing I do makes it any better I've had to quit jobs bc of this I live life everyday wandering if I'm jus gonna stop breathing my left side feels like it's not even here I'm tired of living like this all I wanna do is cry I start shaking for no reason my heart starts pounding for no reason I have to c a physiciatrist on the 31st but I
Not so sure they are going to help me cuz I really think I'm just going to die I think my heart is just gonna stop sometimes I think I'm just goin to blackout what is going on what happend after I had my baby am I really dying??????

I would go to the hospital at least 10-15 times in 6 month period because of the same symptoms. I was put on zoloft and I am now like a new person. It was like a miracle for me. Everyone is different, but please go see your doctor. They can help you and you dont have to feel like this. I thought I was going to die every time I went to the emergency room. I was even on the phone confessing bad things i did as a child because I was so sure. LOL. These types of problems start at some point in our lives (if they do). Everyone it is a different age. I could go on for days about how bad it was for me. Keep in mind, in your case zoloft might not be the right thing. Your doctor would know.

All i do is feel thhat way.... it all started way young for me tho. im 18 years old and a male. At the age of 4-9 i was raped by my grandpa. everyday for the past 14 years i feel like everything i do sucks, that im not good enough. everyone is dieing around me. I feel like i make everything bad. All i do is think about death cuz thats all i simply wanna do is die. but over the past few years i got a lot closer to god. I mean ive almost followed through with killing my self at the age of twelve and the only reason i didnt is cuz my mom called and asked if evrything was alright. but anyways thats when i started getting closer to god. But the bible says god puts us through hell on earth so we appreciate what he gives us in heaven. But i dont get that nor do i get how someone could love you so much but put you through so much (like my grandpa and god) I mean ive done lost grip of reality and everything in and around it.
But i want you men and women to know (even tho i dont know you from adam or eve) that im here for all of you... i wish we all could feel better. Its the worst feeling in the world. But knowing that im not the only one who wants to die or the only one who cant take it, makes everything a little bit tolerable.. Thank you all! and i hope all of you get past your problems.

Wow..reading all these posts reminds me of myself...the heart racing, feeling like you can't breathe..not feeling real. I think it's worse for me at night. I wake up some nights gasping for air..or sometimes I wake up and my body feels completely numb. I have also been to plenty of doctors..blood tests, EKG's, heart monitor...all came out perfect. But for some reason in my head I feel like their missing something. I constantly feel like I'm dying..it's all just so scary. I wouldn't wish this to happen on anyone. Hopefully we can all get passed this and live our lives happily. Goodluck and god bless.

I too have bad anxiety. I have constant Deja vu, I lay in bed at night freaking out that I could die in my sleep. ive been on medication for 10 weeks now, 10mg of Prozac once daily. it has helped tremendously! I had to drop out of school because I was so stressed out about getting credits, I had fallen pretty far behind and now I feel like I can catch up. I'm a healthy 17 year old girl and I fear that I won't live to see my 18th birthday this coming September. I am starting therapy Thursday, but I'm so scared the end of my life is coming. I've been like this since mid December of '11 so like 5 months.. I hate it I feel trapped. racing heart, foggy mind, trouble remembering things. everyone thinks I'm crazy and tells me I'll be fine I won't die but I believe I will. I'm terrified ans seeking help!

Hi all, im 26 and i feel like i will die young and never meet my potential. bad anxiety, depression used to be worse but still never goes away. I get worked up and stressed out so easily at this point, of course it has only gotten worse over the years. chest discomfort and chest pain frequently, my doctor I think is useless except for giving me prescriptions for whatever I ask for. I dont go to the doctor often (once or twice a year).

Have seen therapists in the past but whatever it doesnt do anything to help. I just wish this crap would end, but it wont until my life does. I havea lot to be thankful for, reallly good student with a nice job lined up, buying a house, great gf, family, yadda yadda. just wish I could get a mulligan on this life, its been hard. growing up with intense father who was always so serious, and one older brother who has down syndrome, is obsessive compulsive, extremely talkative and neurotic, very very hyperactive...guess it just has rubbed off on me, i always grew up with so much anger and frustration and could not just "fight" my brother, who was always always around and always on my nerves.

learned to repress instead of express, and father great man and great father but sensitive and not very allowing of outbursts or anything. I guess its possible to havea heart attack and die very young, I just cant control all the damn noise inside my head.

oh yea forgot to add, mother is great and normal as anyone, but I think brother and father had such strong influences on me. I waste so much time just sitting around trying to "unwind", my mind is just nonstop from the minute I wake up until I fall asleep, which is often long after I have gone to bed of course. I live with intense social anxiety and many fears, it blows. have a lot of potential musically I feel, and I keep trying to tap that but at what point do I get in touch with reality and realize I will not learn to express myself musically, will not learn another language (as I tried to do before).

I have a bottle of proporonal (or whatever its called, its a beta blocker) sitting in my cabinet, but have not tried it, doc said sure Ill give it you but its not going to help. I have xanies, but only take it when I really need to (mostly when I have to give a presenation to others). I dont think drugs are the cure, I fear they could make things worse, if thats possible (of course its possible, could always be worse). i remember taking prozac back in the day, and it had a profound relaxing effect...for about a week or two after it finally kicked in,and then poof it stopped being magical and I felt the same as before.

We all need to pray. Were having these feelings and convictions for a reason. its not just a coincidence. Were all deathly afraid of something. Fear and death itself even.. But why fear death when our souls are pure? Thats why were afraid and we feel like this, we fear for our lives and eternal souls. Sub-conciously we feel were doomed. And an un-earthly force or being if you will is convicting us, making us face head on what's been described by doctors and medics as a "disease" or "disorder". You see were all special, the Lord wants us for his army, not satans. Look around you guys, watch the world, everyone is so self absorbed and pleasure, and greed fueled, Its never too late to change our lives and the paths we follow. Through God anything is possible. ANYTHING. The best medicine we have is our faith. Its never too late to be born again. And please believe me guys when i say Im not trying to preach to you. Im no saint myself and ill be the first one to tell you that. But no matter what, through all the evil ive chanelled in only my 19 years of living i have always known that something greater exists. I think we all know. Embrace Him and heal. We all need to seek His guidance..

oh thank god i am not alone on this topic it sometimes feels like i cant breath my chest goes tight and i can here my heart beating and skip a beat then i get a bad head and feel like i am dreaming because things feel slow and i feel a bit dopey just feels like i am going to die. Thanks everyone

I think it's normal to suffer from anxiety sometimes, and It's abnormal to suffer from anxiety EVERYDAY. You need to go to hospital for help!

Anybody having same experience should stay away from PSYCHEDELIC DRUGS!!!

Secondly Medicine that I was been prescribed by the doctor are Deanxit and Lonazep and they very well take care of my anxiety.You should go to your doctor and dont hesitate to tell your doctor if you are on drugs.

Do meditation and stop thinking too much.Let your mind be free from any kind of stress.Listen to ambient and chillout music.Dont sit idle,keep your self busy into somthing.Go to gym and work out.

I am getting this panic attacks for two months now. when a panic attack strikes i feel like im going to die. a shortness of breath and a high heart rate. i feel like im going to die. my mom is a doctor and when i start feeling like this i get to her and she calms me down. but either way this affects my life seriously. its even harder for me because im studying medicine and i know a lot of symptoms and diseases. and i start to connect things togather and think that i have this disease or that. i know that some med students have the "med student syndrome" that makes them feel symptoms that are caused by anxiety. i have this panic attacks a long before starting studying medicine but it really returned strongly for the past two months. i have also depression by the way.
anyway, i think that getting belp is a very important factor in dealing with these situations. but more important is that you should not rely only on other's help. you should rely primiraly on yourself. start thinking things out. do things that make feel safe. i know how this feels especially when you are alone. but it is much worse when you have a nearby person and you still feel that no one can help you get out of this (not dying). its a situation i hope no one experience.
thank you.

hey guys,I'm expeiencing such a bad depression,every pain i get,has to be an assumption that the end is near,I don't like being around people anymore,Im even scared to talk to my mom about it,because it might also stress her that im going through such a thing. I try by all means to pretend im okay,knowing very well that im not,the saddest part about this is that i don't even now why i have it,its really creepy,does anyone know of any websites that could probably help?it'd be much appreciated

Hi all.
I too suffer constant anxiety and severe depression
It can be such an horrendous job living with anxiety especially when it strikes you hard without warning or influencing factors.
The feeling of impending doom is always set in motion along with chest pains etc,
The feeling your going to just die is the most horrible sensation I think a person could feel.
However, tell yourself I am not going to die, I know it easier said than done at the time.
The worst that can happen is you faint, actually this could be a good thing, of course as long ad your not driving or anything, if you did faint, your body would begin to relax and your body's natural functions would return to normal.
Even so, it still does not warrant the fact that you may be experiencing the worst emotion you could ever feel.
Had mine for ten years, it has improved slightly but I find it worsens after a night out or a few drinks, as alcohol is a depressant,
Good luck to each of you
