I havent been on this board very long, and I havent had the chance to read many of your posts. Did you have a traumatic experience recently in your life? If so, then I think you definitely could be experiencing anxiety.
I had my first panic attack when I was 17, and prior to that initial attack I had the same gut feeling you are describing...kind of like a sense of dread, or doom. It happened every day and I couldnt make it go away.
Several years later I was reading an article that said anxiety is usually brought out by some tramatic event. Finally I understood what I had gone through. The year I was 17 my beloved grandmother died, and I discovered that my dad had killed himself (I had always thought it was a heart attack). Kind of a lot for a 17 year old to handle on her own. Not only that I was a junior in high school and had an abusive boyfriend.
Soooooo,
does any of that sound similar to your personal life experiences? If so, tell your doc, because it might get worse and it would be a great thing to identify and take care of it before it gets out of control.
PS....if you feel like it, could you update me with a little of your "story". Ashley
