Im losing my mind...

[Anarky]

I feel like I'm losing my mind.. my anxiety is horrible. every morning I wake up having an attack. its gotten to the point where I'm afraid to go to sleep for fear that I'll die in my sleep. I recently went to the doctors and got pills to help me with a stomach ulcer. they tell me its fine and the pills will help, but as much as I want to, I can't find it in me to believe anyone. I know its not true, but it feel like everyone lying to me to keep me happy while I die. I actually shiver when i have an anxiety attack and I feel worn out and tired afterward. I plan on setting up an appointment with a therapist or something, but i need something to hold me over until then, a way I can calm down. Please help...

Ah! Hello there. First off, anxiety might be a symptom of a disorder that is making you have these feelings of dying. Or, it is just the ruthless panic attack where you feel like you are going to die.

Are you afraid that you'll die in mid-attack or generally speaking?
