to ask if you ever anticipate bad news and it was ok?

[turnipfarmers]

I can't shake off the feeling of impending bad news, I've got an awful, unshakeable feeling that something dreadful is going to happen today but I've got no idea what.

Have you ever had this feeling and was it all OK?

Often, it’s anxiety and I hate it. Mine comes and goes but I often have a sense of impending doom.

How is your health? Don’t want to worry you but this can also be a sign of a heart condition in women so might be worth getting checked out.

All the time until I got treatment for anxiety. Now I get it occasionally but cope much better. I used to think it was a normal thing, it's really not, have a chat with your gp as it really does impact on your life.

Yes I have this sometimes, it is anxiety. I'm on medication which has helped but it still looms occasionally.

I am feeling it pretty bad at the moment, have a huge fear that something terrible is going to happen to someone I love.

It will pass.

Shit, that sounds bad.

My health is good though but if I wasn't anxious before I am now. I've never had this feeling before.

I had this once the night before going on a long haul holiday with a friend. I'm not normally an anxious person at all but I was convinced something terrible was going to happen and got myself into a terrible state, sobbing down the phone to my mum etc. She talked me down and of course I went. As it happened it was a shit holiday (due to friend's behaviour) but it wasn't the disaster I'd convinced myself it would be. I'm sure you'll be fine.

I woke up so early this morning with the exact same feeling :(

Last time I had that feeling so badly, it turned out I was pregnant 😝

Only if I drink too much coffee….

I will say, it wasn't a bad thing. I felt it was bad and something was going to happen and it was a horrid feeling

I always get this before my period turns up!

I get this very occasionally. The last time was when someone in the local area was arrested for murder. I had this horrible feeling it was my son.
Logically i knew it wasn't.
It turned out it was someone i knew though

I'm freaked out about the heart comment, now I can't sleep. Guess it is anxiety now.

No.

I do get anxiety but really and honestly the only time I ever received bad news was when I was least expecting it.

So don't worry (or in the infamous song lyrics....'worry, but know that worrying is about as useful as trying to solve an algebra equation by chewing bubble gum'.

DON'T worry

Everyone does.
