Posts: 5267 (11/22/2009 1:30 AM) Reply Quote More Recent Posts	I've always had really bad anxiety and I was really close with my mother who passed away unexpectedly about 6 months ago. I'm getting to where i'm not as 'numb' as I have been but I feel like I'm losing my mind. I am constantly in a panic attack, I just had one last for 3 days.. 3 days of being completely terrified. I couldn't sleep, I close my eyes and my mom is dead, I open them and I literately hallucinate things, all I can do is cry and lay in bed cause I'm so sad and so scared. I feel like i'm not a real person and I'm watching a TV show.. my mind feels like it's going to detach from my head and I'm going to faint. This is the first time in days I've felt semi normal and I'm worried I'm going to go back into that mind state. IDK what to do

Even if you don't, go to your local health department/free clinic and ask them about mental health resources. Seek the help of a professional therapist. Mental health professionals are trained to not only sympathize with your situation, but they know how to help you get better. Anxiety is a real problem, and you're obviously suffering form a severe form. It's sounds like you've been through more than anyone could handle. I'm so sorry about your mom. In the meantime, can you identify exactly what it is that you fear? If not, it's okay.

That seems like it'd freak me out more than it would help me.. I also worry cause I'm currently 'taking care of someone' and I feel like everything here would just fall apart if I'm gone. I haven't really talked about my mother to anyone cause I don't really have anyone to talk about kind of stuff to. She was really the only close family I had, besides my sister.. and I can't tell her how bad I'm hurting cause she too is hurting and I don't wanna add that stress onto her.

There isn't just one thing that freaks me out. Sometimes I can't even handle reading without panicking, it's like thinking is too much and overwhelming. I can't get my mom off my mind, I see her dead a lot. As corny as it sounds I have like monsters in my mind. Scary things that are going to come after me. I feel like I'm going to die. There is so many different things that goes on it's hard to pinpoint them all. It's also kinda fuzzy and hard to remember it all when I'm back 'normal'.

I feel like they wouldn't be able to help me anyway, maybe give me something for my anxiety right then...if that. but that's only helping me at that time. But I really don't know where to go.

I had an anxiety attack and freaked out the other person and my friend. I was screaming and crying and mumbling stuff about suicide and my friend took me to the hospital. I don't remember much of this just what my friend told me when I calmed down. I still think you should go to the crisis center. Are you going to school? They usually have some type of psych center.

I'm lost when it comes to this sort of thing. The only place I know of is the crisis center and I'm scared to go there again... My mom always helped me with these things :/
