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
