Anyone else? It's been a couple of weeks, waking with scary dreams and just a feeling of being scared
Nothing happening in my life

Anyone else? Wondering it's because of well, just the world!

Could also be the change of season and that scary September “fresh start” mindset?

If you knew what I have been going through in the past 4 weeks, you would think your life was a breeze.
The only way I can get a couple of hours of "sleep" is to leave youtube playing on something like mock the week. I agree, it is not fun, but save up the anxiety until you really have something to be anxious about.

The world has gone crazy if you’re reading the news about AI, climate and Russia, Ukraine, Iran, USA etc. absolutely I feel anxious

Yes September is quite odd!

Sorry to hear that. I have sadly had many things over the years to be anxious about, as we all probably have
This is a very strange, physical feeling

I have anxiety too. Not sure if its a full moon atm but it's well recognised that anxiety peaks then.

Have you got things going on in your life which have contributors anxiety

Yes it's just all too much, always feeling as if something is about to happen, just want peace

Hi @Doggosaredabest , don't want to worry you unnecessarily but I've read before that an 'sense of impending doom' can be a warning sign of a heart attack. Hopefully you are just feeling anxious about all the bad news in the world 🙏🏼.
