    life's a b**ch and so's anxiety

    jus thought id pay a flying visit and hav a moan 4 old times sake! havent been on here 4 a while...3 wks of feeling on top of the world has all come crashing down! (my anxiety is obviously not in the xmas spirit!)
    i cud feel the anxiety building up again- relationship/family/education probs...and then last nite i managed 2 terrify myself. i woke up at bout 3am in a state of panic, i guess i must of had a bad dream or something, my heart was racing and my mind was out of control. i think i may hav been 1/2 asleep and in a kind of state of hallucination as i had this overwhelming desire 2 kill myself...i actually thought that i needed 2 kill myself...i didnt want 2, it was like a compulsion. now im terrified that it may happen again but without a happy ending. my hearts racing 24/7, im dizzy and feel like im in a surreal world again...and im convinced im guna drop down dead!
    i think i jus need some re-assurance that this is only anxiety and nothing else!

    hello there,

    Sorry to hear that you had such a horrible night. Anxiety can often cause us to wake up in confusion thinking very strange thoughts. I've had it before and know how scary it can be. It sounds like you were doing very well for a while so try not to let this get to you too much/ Try to just think of it as a blip that you will have got over in a few days.

    Hang in there hun.

    These blips happen to the best of us.
    Try not to let it get you down to much, and don't let it stop the great progress you are making.

    TGD -

    Firstly - well done for having had a good few weeks - what an improvement .

    It happens - these thoughts from nowhere. May have been something to do with your nightmare.

    Thoughts not instructions.

    If they scare you - you will not listen to them -they do not control you !!

    I think most of us have had something similar time after time .

    Blip - it will pass. Let it go ...
