lately i've been feeling so alone and the hardest time is when everyone in my house goes to bed at night i feel more alone and scared i can hardly close my eyes for fear of dying i now have been going to sleep at 2 or 3 in the morning i feel very anxious during the day and especially at night i don't want to leave the house not even to walk my dogs around the corner i feel that if i leave i'll get vertigo outside so i walk fast all the way home i feel so helpless it's so hard to live with anxiety i just want to feel normal again what should i do .. do any of you feel this way ? i'm so scared and confused

I too use to be just like you are describing, I still am at times, but the first step I took in getting better was to define exactly what it was that I was so fearful of in the outside world - then I slowly put myself into that exact situation and tested my theory to see if how I was feeling was true or not.... and guess what I did NOT die like I felt I would.

I am still fighting the battle and I am now able to go out sometimes without the great anxiety and then at other times I fear and when that happens I go home and start all over.... life is getting good again for me.

You are WELCOME.... and I have to agree that it is best to let go and let God - for it is in the letting go that we are able to heal. It has been a long road to travel, but in time my path is becoming clearer to me and with that my heart is learning to trust and to love again.

My anxiety fades with each step closer I take to my own reality - the one I live in the physical sense and less of my mental world, that which control us all from with in.
