Overwhelming dread is crippling me
This past month my anxiety has worsened to a whole new level for me. I went from being scared of interactions to suddenly feeling so worthless like I am not doing enough for not perusing my dreams fast enough, now this has morphed into severe dread about death and old age. I don’t know how they are connected but I can just feel it. I’m so scared. I’m scared of getting old, of getting hurt, of dying. I’m scared of my loved ones doing the same. Watching my grandparents age and my moms health drastically decline has given me such a helpless feeling of despair. I’m having daily breakdowns at work. I feel like I’m loosing my mind. My boyfriend thinks I am having a midlife crisis but I’m only in my mid twenties. I don’t understand what’s happening to me and I’m scared.

Hey I understand. Anxiety can make you think these things and get scared. And yes being scared that something is going to happen to your family is also scary. I know how other people are adraid of the same things you are. So you're not alone. Anxiety is a hard thing to experience. People experience anxiety in different ways. We're here to listen and support you. Just know that you're not alone.And yes having mental breakdowns about this is okay. I wouldn't say it's normal but it's a fear people have. i hope you feel better.
