Worries of death?

NAS79329

Does anyone else feel like they're ganna die soon, like you're body feels so *** you feel like you're ganna die of natural causes? I'm 22 I feel like I'm in a 90 year olds body, doesn't help that I have health anxiety. I am fully getting things ready in case I die, I just feel like I'll die in my sleep or something. Some people say autism is a gift, for me it feels like a curse. Noone understands me or goes through what I do and it makes me really sad

  • There have only been two occasions in my life when I've experienced something like that. The first was when I was about 5 years old and had measles. I had convinced myself that I would die imminently if I did not keep getting out of bed to get a glass of water. The second time was also when I had been unwell (undiagnosed hypothyroidism). I'd had no energy whatsoever, to the extent that even breathing felt like an effort. On that occasion though, I hadn't felt fearful.

    Hypothyroidism Sparkly, that's at the root of a lot of my physical problems now.  I didn't even know what it was, i'd never heard the word. Then on a visit to hospital (i have CKD) then suddenly told me what was wrong, and it explained so much

    I'd never heard of it either until I had some blood tests and received the diagnosis. I remember the GP telling me that I would be fine after I'd been on the Levothyroxine a few weeks. No, I flipping well wasn't. I think it took about 4 years before I could make it through the day without feeling the need to go back to sleep after a few hours. Laughing
