Re: death anxiety/depression, can't see the future. And other stuff.
Hi befuddled1,
I just wanted to let you know that I can so relate to what you said in your post. I would also have so much anxiety about death - I find that this can bring on depersonalisation/derealisation & panic attacks. Then you talk of the time passing by so quickly and not wanting it to - time just seems to be going faster and faster. I also keep thinking that there are things that I really want to do but don't seem to be able to - it's as if my mind is 'stuck'. Wondering what is going to happen in the future and worrying about it. Then the other thoughts (OCD) where something just goes around and around in your mind. It can all get so draining at times!!
You have a lot going on at the moment - with a 5000 word assignment & having to pack to move house. I think that extra stress can leave us more open to increased anxiety. I find that when I think of everything that I have to do together it can seem impossible to do ANYTHING!! The way that I'm trying to deal with this is to do things little by little.
I hope things go well with your assignment & packing.
Hope it helps to know that you're not alone in how you feeling.
Best wishes xx
