Hey guys I've had a fear of death since I was about 7 I would get panic attacks once every few years about what it I died the past 3 months have been a night mare for me I keep thinking what if I die, then we have our sub category's like what if I die young, what if I die before I achieve my goals, what if I die before I have children, what if I die before my children grow up, what if I never see my grandchildren. The list goes on and on I currently have an amazing girlfriend that's helped me threw my anxiety and always been there for me and I want to get engaged to her soon and my thoughts keep say what if you die before you can get married to her. I wake up with anxiety and panic attacks it does come and go but 70% of the time I have anxiety during the day I am a religious Christian and I tell myself god has a plan for me and i truly believe that but my animistic will fade for a day or two then come back does anyone else experience anxiety like this? And if so how do you control it because my thoughts don't stop just recently I thought of quoting my job because I said to myself what if I die soon I don't want to work for no reason I'll rather relax help would be much appreciated thanks guys

Hi all, Long time reader first time poster, i thought if i joined i could try help others while helping my self, my issue is Anxiety/possible depression. i'm 29 years old male who works for his family business as if the last 2 or so years before this i was working for a big company, my Anxiety has always been present in my life in one form or another i find my self going a while without any issues and then Anxiety peeps in head up from under the sand to try derail me. i live a relativity happy life with a partner and good job satisfaction, im currently studying for my Cisco certifications becuases its what i enjoy and what im good at "computer stuff" now here is where my issues come into play im just about to turn 30 and i think in doing so my old Anxiety issues have come back in the form of my mind thinking about my parents passing away, they just turned 60 one is i think 63 or 64 now i know that they will pass away one day and i know that i will pass away one day but my mind keeps thinking about it and its driving my insane its making me break down crying, i find that when im busy at work i dont seem to feel it as much but at night when im alone or at home with just my thoughts it sneaks up on me and i lay in bed crying for a bit before i drag my self out of it using a thought journal or by reading self help type books, i have a GP appointment this week to try get into see a psychologist about my issue, my partner is supportive and so is my family my brother gave me a pep talk about it all but i still just keep worrying about if anything was to ever happen to them im very close to them all, i feel as if my mind if my greatest asset but my own worst enemy at times, i get so sad thinking about it happening and if i dont beat it i feel it will start effecting my current life worrying about the future. does anyone else worry about this type of thing or am i insane.

For about 6 years now i have always felt guilty thinking i can sacrifice someone with my mind. I would think things in my head "i would sacrificing someone for something to happen," then I would feel guilty about that. At the moment I thought in my head about 5 months ago "I would sacrifice someone for a team to win a match",that i was watching. The other team stuffed up their chance to win, and it was looking like the team I had the thought about was about to win as they just needed to convert a easy kick in nfl, which he would get almost every time. So i thought the opposite, "that i would sacrifice someone for the team to lose", to prove i dont have control. He missed the kick and they ended up not winning and now I feel guilty all the time cause of it, and spend all my time stressing and trying to prove to myself that I cant sacrifice someone with my mind. I think because he missed the kick, i have sacrificed someone(who wasn’t even relevant to the game). The guilt is there all the time and i don't know what do.

Hi, One of the things that I find really difficult is having a clear picture of who I am. I'm now 48 and I've always struggled with knowing myself and over the past 8 or so years my identity has been impacted more, especially by life events. Just when I think I know something about myself I feel that others see me differently and it starts the questioning off again. My spouse doesn't give me any clues (or anything really) and I feel that I get quite mixed messages from people. Do you have a clear picture of who you are? Was it always this way ? How have you been able to find out who you are? Thanks for taking the time to read this

Hello, New here I'm 21 and mother to two beautiful girls. I had a baby 6 weeks ago and contracted an infection I ended up back in hospital with. Since then I've suddenly started suffering with severe anxiety and constant tachycardia. I experience panic attacks throughout the day and wake up with them throughout the night. I have been in and out of hospitals/doctors and they've found nothing wrong with me. I have been referred to a cardiologist but in the mean time I guess I just want to know how you get by every day (I'm in tears every two hours and barely sleep I'm so terrified) and if anyone else is suffering with a contantly tachy heart (110). I am so lost.

Is it OK to ring the Beyond Blue helpline to talk to a counsellor when in the middle of a panic attack? There is no one else I can ring when in this position as it would be pretty scary for an untrained friend, family etc to hear me during one! Would I be wasting BB's phone time if I ring them? Is there a time limit I can speak for? I have my phone off the hook today checking each hour to see if any messages, then taking it off again. I can't think straight. I have so much to do. I am shaking and beginning to lose it.

Hi guys. I had a job interview last week and it didn't go so well.. due to my anxiety kicking in and making me feel awkward and stumble on my words the whole interview. I even lost my vocabulary because the anxiety is so intense and my mind is just so full. Then I go home and ask my self why I've got to suffer from anxiety and thinking of how different like would be if I wasn't diagnosed.. Does anyone else feel like this or is it just me?

Anxiety symptoms and diet

Has anyone who has or is predisposed to anxiety noticed an increase in symptoms when they have gone from eating meat to being vego or vegan? I became vego about four months ago and my most recent spiral into PTSD and panic attacks started 5 weeks ago. My therapist thinks there might be a connection. I can't find any studies online that support the theory however logically the scientific theory is sound. Before this downward turn I was doing fantastically (and have a great bunch tools) and there has been no obvious trigger for this so I'm playing with this theory a bit. I'd love to hear other people's experience with going vego. Thanks
