Hi All,

I am fairly new here, I have been reading the boards and getting some comfort for a bit, but now I would like to post and get some more opinions/help Thank you!

About a month ago, I read an article about a woman whose brother told her, 'I know am going to die young' and then he did. :( That was all it took to send me into a panic. I have always had a strong fear of dying, and since I got pregnant with my now 2 yr old twins, I have been having nearly crippling anxiety over a wide variety of topics... they all seem to be related to me being seperated from my children.

I wonder, is it part of anxiety to think that my fears are becoming my desitiny? After reading that article, I took my longtime fear of death to mean my inner self telling me I would die young. I am becoming obsessed with this and can find no relief.

Now I am torturing myself now by thinking horrible things, such as: you won't make it to Christmas, and you won't make it to 28... (I'm 27 now)

Are these normal thoughts/feelings with anxiety?

Thank you all for reading this long winded post!
