Perhaps you are sensitive to the Universal Consciousness. The End Times are coming, and you are forewarned.
Stockpile baked beans and ammo, and go and live in a cabin in the woods.
Yes, intuition. Every time I get it, something bad ALWAYS ends up happening. Hone your talents.
I have this too. Sometimes the feeling gets pretty overwhelming, so I used to take meds for it. I've found that they seemed to make it worse.
Nevertheless, GeorgeMcBob might be joking, but I really have started to stockpile food/water, tools, ammo for my shotgun, and I've converted my entire backyard into a huge vegetable garden- so that I can start becoming slightly more self-sufficient. The preparations for impending doom I've made, may have their flaws, and only be minor. However, the simplest amount of disaster prep could mean the difference between life and death... in a number of scenarios. Plus, it's just great to be able to harvest my own food.. and to always know that I've got a fully stocked pantry.
Being pro-active has majorly helped my anxiety level, where meds and talk therapy failed. I've found it comforting, and I think it's good, so long as you find the right balance between obsession and being realistic.
(Also, the U.S. government currently recommends at least 4 months worth of food/water/hygiene supplies.)
Good luck!
I was diagnosed with Generalized Anxiety Disorder about 2 months ago. The impending sense of doom bit is a tough one, I mean it really screwed with me! But two weeks on Celexa and its gone, as well as the panic attacks, nightmares, fear of leaving my apartment, all of it! I feel exactly like I did before!
Now i'm a bit of a drinker so I asked my doctor about that interaction, and he said it was still okay. Everybody reacts differently to that mixture in your body so he told me to take it slow at first and ease back into it. I have been pretty drunk several times since and not had any issues with the Celexa. Although with the anxiety gone my sex life with bar girls has multiplied exponentially. (i'm not sure if that's technically a good thing or a bad thing but I like it so I thought i'd mention it.)
Celexia, I think I have heard of that. Would you recommend me looking into that with a doctor?
I do have a lot of problems with anxiety outside of this impending sense of doom that I feel constantly. It's strange too, because I have friends. I go to college. I'm decently social. But the anxiety seems to come on with no reason and no warning. My chest gets tight, my throat feels likes it's closing up. I have gotten really good at trying to remain calm while this is hallening. At first though, before I knew what was happening to me, I would panic. (Presumably making the problem worse.) But like I said, It has gotten a bit better.
As for the sex with the bar girls, do you feel less anxious around people now? Do you think that is why you've been able to engage with people like that more often?
I feel much less anxious on Celexa and I am able to socialize with no reservations, where as before I was starting to become less outgoing for fear of a random panic attack. At one point I got to a place where I never wanted to leave my apartment apart from work.
The chest tightness and the throat closing is something that would scare me into freaking out about problems I didn't have such as me thinking I couldn't breath right because of asthma! And right before I went to the doctor it was to the point that I had the tightness in my throat almost constantly.
Every person is different, but the Celexa is something that has helped me out greatly! Even drinking with it, the only side affect I noticed was constipation the first few days, but my body because used to it and that problem went away too. I would definitely at least speak with a doctor and look into it!
Depression, bad depression, maybe major.
Everybody else says, "don't worry, everything's fine, don't worry about impending doom." which, of course, sounds false to you.
The doom is a what you percieve, your perceptions are altered due to depression, this alteration is part of the illness.
Btw, perceptions are just perceptions not premonitions of impending doom.
