First Post. Am struggling tonight!

[Guessie]

Never posted online before but here goes. Recently been having lots of heart palps and have passed out 3 times (in space of 4 days). Had coil fitted after the first time I passed out so also had that to deal with. Waiting for blood tests and ecg. Anxiety through the roof and scared to sleep in case I don't wake up. Crawling the walls. Don't want to be on my own. Stressed. Help! Think I just need some company. Can't stop thinking about dying and how I'm letting my colleagues down and whether I should just suck it up and go back to work to relieve some of this anxiety. Anyone about to chat?

You’re not letting anyone down by feeling like this.

It's likely not even anything serious. Probably anaemic or just v v sleep deprived, but the anxiety is a killer.

Anxiety can be awful. Can you try distraction with an audio book or the radio? I find audiobooks calming even if I don’t concentrate fully. Would you feel able to try some calming breathing exercises?

There’s soothing sounds, calming stories etc here: Calm

Sleep hypnosis/guided meditation on youtube have been a game changer for me. They help me calm my mind and fall asleep!
You need to take care of yourself and not think of others! I am sure they won't be disappointed in you. Hugs!
