Can anxiety kill you?

I had an anxiety attack at the mall last night, it continued through the rest of the night til I went to sleep, and now it has woken me up. The reason being is ‘cause of this girl I like, she’s the first one I ever liked that plays with her guy friends and the way she does hurts me in a way and now I feel like I messed my chances up with her.

If I keep having this anxiety, what damage will it do to me?

Only if you let it and get exicted

Answer #2

It can mess up your sleep and make you freak out, but I can guarantee you that you are NOT going to die. Take deep breaths and inhale deeply from your diaphragm (the spot right beneath your rib cage) and relax all of your muscles, even in your face. When I can’t sleep I like to count my breaths slowly in my head as I inhale so I stop thinking about anything else… Don’t worry, talk it out with a friend or someone you can vent to. If it escalates, try seeing a therapist or a doctor.
