I dont know why im always nervous...from the time I wake up I can literally feel nerves all through my arms and hands and going to my legs.I even look at myself in the mirror sometimes and I see my eyes even get huge sometimes from where im constantly nervous for no reason at all.Also im always worried about something and I always feel like if someone is out to do me harm like if someone is watching me trying to harm me.I also have this big fear of dieing its like I think...im alive and here right now but it scares me to think that im going to die one day.I mean whats going to happen to me.I really dont know whats wrong with me anymore.

I went through a similar stage that you did. Medication will only make you feel better temoparaly, when you stop taking it, the symproms will come back. Your problem is that your nerves became sensitized. Sensitiztion is kept alive by fear and constant worry. The book that has helped me the most is called Thoughts and Feelings, I got it on Amazon for $15 or $20. Once you understand exacltly what your body is doing, it will help you a great deal in getting better. Unfortunately, medication is a way to run away from what is happening to you. There is no problem in taking it as long as you understand that you will have to face your fear head on and get off the meds. 3-4 days a week of Yoga has helped me a great deal also. I'm almost done with my SA. Goodluck.

I've been there. What has helped me was realizing that in fearing so much every day, I was simply dying in my own despair. To me, living in constant fear of every single thing was like I was dead already. So I thought to myself, "Why fear dying so much if I can't even enjoy life because of this horrible fear of dying?" So I have just accepted that I will live life with whatever comes my way, embrace it, tolerate it, and enjoy as much of it as I possibly can. A work in progress, but keep the train of thought going in that direction.
