Feeling Im being crushed

I feel like I'm in a vice thing. The things that grip on to pieces of wood. And someone is slowly turning the handle, squeezing the life out of me. I used to get this feeling several years ago, but now since my depression has overtaken my life, I just can't shake it off. I thought living with sz was hard enough, but this is too much. I hate writing about this crap because it just feels like Im having a moan and not really bothered by it.

Now I have actually started making a chart of how much I'm being squeezed. So there must be a point where I dont have anything left in me to squeeze, then what? I die. This fear is making it worse, Im sat here constantly trying to work out how long to go.

The other day I felt it crushing against me and I could see something float away from me. I panicked and tried chasing it around the house! Just saw it go towards the heavens. Another part of me gone forever.

Do you feel like actually being squeezed? Like.... when my gallbladder was going bad on me I'd get this incredibly painful sensation like my whole body was getting squeezed really hard. It startede in my abs and then up into my chest, like it was like squeezing a roll of toothpaste from the bottom up! But it would end up in my chest and feel like my whole rib cage was being compressed and I couldn't breathe. It was terrible.

Turned out it was my gallbladder and lots of stones. I had to get it removed. It did feel like I was going to die, like a heart attack or something.

Not sure, but it's like all over, from feet to head. But lots of pain in chest. It happens and then I can visualise it and the description I gave is what it seems to me. Then it stops, but I still feel like squashed or tight.

Hmmmm, it's worrisome to me that you're having this. I thought mine was caused by anxiety for a while. It would happen randomly for no apparent reason, but the first time it happened I was nervous, so I first thought it was panic attacks. Have you told your mom about it?

Its been happening for some time, I think its anxiety or panic. Its been real bad today, I didnt say much to her today. My friend came round to see my mom today, and I went a little mad at them both, I dont even know why, plus my mums sisters husband died this morning and just now she got a call that I have to see another forensic pdoc next week about my court case and they wont come to the house this time. All this in one day, its not on, I cant handle this.

Maybe monitor when it happens like keep a journal. See if it does happen when something makes you anxious. I eventually decided mine wasn't anxiety because it would wake me up from sleep. I couldn't sit, breathe, stand, everything was uncomfortable. It would like 10-15 seconds or so, then stop. Then it lasted 8 minutes one day and that freaked me out. I called the doctor and they said if it lasted more than 30 mins to go to the ER. 3 days later I had one that hit 30 minutes so I called the ambulance and went to the ER.

Just be careful. Sometimes those of us who have MI tend to not trust our own bodies.
