Feels of Impending Doom?!
Question: Feels of Impending Doom!?
The other morning (4am) my fiance was leaving for Tennessee to see his ill grandpa!. I get paranoid sometimes if I'm awake and alone in the middle of the night in the house!. I had a couple cups of coffee before all of this so I was a little hyper!.
After he left, an hour or two later!.!.!. I became even more paranoid plus I was shaky!. I began thinking "Oh my god, I'm going to die!." and sat there til about 1pm thinking "I can't sleep, I'll die if I sleep!." Everytime I tried to sleep, I felt as if I was starting to have a panic attack and I felt WIIIDE awake all of a sudden!. I was in constant tears and even wrote a good-bye letter in my diary and what I would like to be remembered for!.
I had asked my mom and she said I was having a feeling of doom and that she had it when she was my age (she says that about everything wrong with me -_-) so I dunno what she means!. I heard it has to do with depression or stress in your life, which there is quite a bit of!.
