Ive been depressed for years fought with it on and off. Ive never paid it much mind until I had my first anxiety attack, now they are much more frequent. Ive also developed what doctors believe is an ulcer but I have this nagging fear its something serious and undetectable, like I will die from it. I will have random bouts of stomach pain then nearly throw myself into a panic attack thinking it may be serious enough to die from. I also have trouble sleeping, and near every night if I fall asleep alone or not on the couch listening to my frienRAB video game noises, I will have an anxiety attack. Fearing I will never wake up. Im quick the opposite of what people may view someone with depression. I am unhappy, but I am frightened of dying, and that my life will end abruptly. Ive had many many tests done to try and ease my mind, after thousanRAB of dollars in doctor bills, and them not finding anything... I am still not satisfied. All this is really disheartening, I find myself not enjoying things as I used to , and never finding motivation. I feel rather crazy and am driving my friend and fiance nuts with my paranoid mind. I feel alone, and hope to find some comfort here. :(
 
It sounRAB like you have serious anxiety issues on top of your overall health concerns.

Ask your primary care physician about talking with a therapist. Regardless of whether or not you do or do not have an underlying health issue a therapist can help you manage your anxiety.

And yes, I've been there too. Much, much, much better now.
 
Thank you so much for your response, it means a lot to me, and its kind of comforting knowing someone else feels the way I do. Even tho I would NEVER wish this feeling on someone else.
