OCD or anciety or premonition?

Question

About 5 months ago I was writing my husband a letter beacuse we were seperated. I was telling him how much I have always loved him and the kids and all of a sudden I got scared and thought that God was having me writ this because I was going to die. Every since then I keep getting this scary bad feeling that I am going to die and now I can't stop thinking about it. And every time I start to do something like go grocery shopping or clean the house I start thinking "I'm gonna die" and it bothers me so bad that I can't function from day to day. I was wandering if anyone else has had a similar experience? If so please share it with me . I need to know if this could be ocd or anciety or what?

Answer 1

Sounds like you could be having anxiety attacks. Go talk to your Doctor. There is medical treatment as well as counselling may help. Lots of us have them. Some go through spells, yours is lasting too long. Get some help, you can't do it on your own.

Answer 2

If it's affecting your life so much that you can't function, you should speak to a counselor or a psychiatrist. The thing to remember is that eventually, we're all going to die. It's a fact of life and nothing to be scared of. When your time comes, it will be right for you. Maybe it would help to get some anxieties out of the way - like writing a will (something everyone, terminally ill or not, should do). You could also go to the doctor for a check-up, just to assure yourself that everything is in working order, and if it's not, see what you can do to improve your health.
This does sound like a phobia or an anxiety disorder, so I urge you to speak to a counselor about it. No fear should affect the way you live your life.

Answer 3

I think this is a familiar situation for a lot of people with anxiety/depression. I used to think that I would be killed early in my life, but it didn't happen. I would talk to a doctor about how you are feeling, especially if this is causing problems in your life.
