Hi there, I'm sorry to hear that you are feeling so down, but believe me, you are not alone.

Secondly you are not going mad, I promise. The feelings you describe are typical of anxiety - and obviously the pressure you are also feeling I'm sure is linked to the fact you have a cold, as I have a cold and have the exact same thing!

The feeling of detachment is horrid isn't it? But it is nothing to be scared of, and it will pass. You may well think that you are going to die because the anxiety is causing you to have negative emotions and feelings, I often find that talking to someone is the best method of coping with these feelings, or failing that doing something active such as cleaning, sudoku etc helps me to relax and calm down.

Also it is ok to have these feelings, even if you don't know why, the important thing is to recognise that this is just your anxiety, you have no reason to believe you are going to die. You mention you don't know why you can't move on, but in time you will. I wish my anxiety would just dissappear (don't we all!) but it takes time.

Finally have you seen a doctor or counsellor regarding your anxiety?

All the best hun,

Cat xx.

Hi There

I know exactly what you mean, sometimes I lay in bed and this weird feeling washes over me. It feels as though I'm about to stop breathing and my heart is gunna stop beating. It never happens of course.......and I've been having this strange feeling on and off for about 30 years!!

Take care xx

hi there,

I know exactly how you feel. I have suffered from health anxiety eversince I was a young child. I do manage to control it the majority of the time but I would say that I have had about 10 major episodes where I think I am going completely mad and have worked myself up to such a frenzy i end up with a panic disorder and have to take medication. I am currently nearing the end of a six month anxiety period, but even with medication i still am having worries about dying and that any pain around my chest is a heart attack or I have an undiagnosed heart condition and i am going to drop dead! I am reassured by the amount of people who also suffer to some degree.

take care x
