    Hey, first of all, I'm really sorry you're going through this right now. I know how awful it can feel, I truly do.

    This sounds exactly like a panic attack. For some people, it can feel like doom closing in on you, while others feel physical pain.

    So, maybe this can help you to calm down, or at least know you're not alone in these feelings. When anxiety reaches a peak, the body needs to release the stress somehow. For some people, this can be in the form of adrenaline rushes, or even chronic fatigue. For others, it can feel like a mental minefield. Lots of stress chemicals, and fight or flight feelings are swimming around in your brain when this happens, and it can 100% conjure up the feeling of impending doom you're talking about. You mind is immediately going to scenarios where you are convinced your time is up, because your system is making a super cocktail of chemicals to tell you that there is danger (even though there is none, its just anxiety). Our brains can't really differentiate what exactly the "danger" is, so when you're in a state of stress or anxiety, it starts perceiving anything and everything as a threat.

    This kind of thing happens to me when I have an OCD flare up. I have these phobias that get triggered, and I will be convinced I've contracted a deadly disease and my days are numbered. I'll sometimes be too afraid to even move off the sofa because I'm so sure more bad things will happen. I feel like my body is dying, and that none of my dreams and hopes will ever be realised. I feel a complete and utter existential terror that is incredibly hard to rationalise as anxiety. But it most certainly is anxiety. It's my own brain making connections that don't exist. Every single one of those feelings are caused by anxiety.

    You mention you've had anxiety for 10 years. Have you had any therapy for it? Do you take any medication for it? Has something happened recently that might have increased your anxiety - this could even be something that only causes low level stress, something you might not even consider all that important. Anxiety likes to overreact to tiny changes sometimes. It also changes as you go through life.

    You're going to be okay Sending virtual hugs!

    Hello, I am also having these problems. I've been to the doctor before, but it didn't help. Medication given was insufficient. I wanted to start exercising, but I was afraid that it might be harmful. Can someone with previous experience provide some insight. Is sports good. Or does it hurt.I would be very happy, if you contact me.
