lately i feel as though im starting to lose my mind a little bit

i can't shake this feeling that something very bad is looming

google is only making it worse, i guess constant self-analyzing is a symptom.

I'm just curious if anyone else can empathize with this? Does anybody else question their own sanity ever?

Always. I've always been mentally messed up. Horrible ADHD, anxiety (could be part of the ADHD) and depression. I've also just done some weird things. I remember one time in middle school, I was using a calligraphy set I bought from Waldenbooks. I showed the pen to my teacher, saying, "Look what I found!" I don't know why I said that. I bought it. It was mine. I guess I was trying to be funny in a weird way. She then responded, "Oh! That looks like the pen that Mr. Kotula (not sure how I still remember his name) lost. He's next door." I go next door. Why? "So, I heard you lost a pen. Is this it?" "Yeah, that does look like it. Thank you." Then I gave it to him. I wasn't being nice, I honestly put what she was saying above what I KNEW. It was MINE goddamn it.

I have experienced that sense of impending doom before. It is quite awful. It causes anxiety, sleeplessness, dread, fearfulness. Not fun my friend

Dude, I've been living with a sense of impending doom for the past twenty six years. Makes it hard to really be part of life when you're too busy "bracing for the hit" to let your guard down.

That's what your comment reminded me of.

I have had depression after being physically assaulted and finally got off the antidepressants 3 months ago. I had PTSD after nearly dying in the Christchurch earthquakes and have found it difficult to keep myself going. In saying that, last week was the best I'd had in months. I'm praying for strength to get the job I want.

When he mentioned December (for me) it was this song that came to mind. That's Courtney Cox being all down and out in the video.

Sorry to hear that, you have my sympathies.

Although honestly I have for the past four months been obsessed with the concept of death. Not that I'm suicidal or want to die, I just cannot comprehend my own mortality and often it makes me numb for days on end and I just flip out about it. I think I may be having a manic episode or one is starting, but I honestly don't care as it will mean I'm free of that bull****. It's ****ing horrifying. I can't live everyday thinking about death, everything reminds me of death and it's horrid

Doesn't everyone think about that? I think about death everyday but I'm no longer afraid of it anymore. I just hope it's not a slow, terrible death.
