I just woke up and I feel terrible. I don’t know what exactly I feel. It’s a combination of extreme dread, pain, and especially fear. But of what? There’s nothing that can hurt me. I didn’t even have a nightmare last night like I always do. There is no real life danger, but I have this awful feeling that something horrendous is about to happen and I have no idea what.
In my teens, I was diagnosed with severe social anxiety multiple times by various psychiatrists so I know that my nerves are out of whack, but I just can’t shake this feeling off even though I’m 100% certain it’s irrational.
I’ve been feeling the same “sense of impending doom” every time I wake up for many years now. Anyone know the cause and how to prevent it?
I used to believe alcohol was the cause but I haven’t drank in more than a week.
The feeling goes away the longer I’m awake but still lingers throughout the day.
Hate living like this.
