anxiety so intense it feels real

does anyone else suffer from anxiety so intense that it physically feels real, not like physical symptoms in the body but im experiencing this anxiety as if the bad thing has already happened, my anxiety is 100% true, and i am simply anticipating the horrible thing because in my mind its true

no amount of reassurance or logical reasoning can snap me out of it

has anyone had this before and how do people deal with it?

thank you

hi all

I have bipolar I with psychotic features and I recently got broken up with by my partner because of my actions during my most recent episode

we have been in contact a little bit and are supposed to talk seriously about what happened/our relationship but last time I spoke to him, he said he wasn't ready and thinks he needs some more time (which was almost two weeks ago)

does anyone have tips with dealing with waiting? and tips with paranoia and believing what people say to me?

I'm having a really hard time waiting for him to "be ready" and also am paranoid and believe he is lying to be or that he will ghost me and it's been really hard

also want to ask if you think if it's a good idea if I reach out at some point next week to check in

any and all tips and stories are appreciated, please and thank you

hi all

in February, I had the worst episode of my life, one where I lost a bunch of friends, the love of my life broke up with me, I took a leave of absence from school and I ended up in CPEP for 3 days

I've been on lithium 300 mg 2x a day and just started seroquel 25 mg for sleep and anxiety (only took it once but I did feel better after taking it!)

I am definitely feeling clinically as in no more SI, reduced depressive symptoms and feelings of hopelessness, and increased feelings of mental clarity/much less brain fog and it's weird to feel stable after feeling so horrible

I'm still feeling a lot of emotions including guilt, doubt, self-blame etc. especially in regards to the breakup (it's one of those weird breakups where we still kept in touch a bit and agreed to talk seriously but last time I talked to him he said he wasn't ready and needed some more time)

how do people deal with the aftermath and the emotions after a really bad episode? im in therapy and peer support so im talking to someone twice a week and working through these emotions

I feel mostly fine but occasionally the feelings will come so intensely I just start crying and im able to calm down but it sucks

looking for any advice or reassurance or tips or anything, I have great friends and family but still feel so alone in this sometimes

thank you all in advance
