i get scary thoughts kinda like the feelings i get from an intense sleep terror kinda like a sad, scary doomed feeling. and then i feel an intense fear associated with a tingling sensation in my head, stomach. but when i distract my attention it goes away...sometimes in a little while but it does. i have this thing where whenever i'm in a subway train and the door closes i feel panic like i fear im going to panic and i'm trapped. thats why i try to avoid going in trains. and then i fear it's going to come back and it won't stop bothering me. and these thoughts would torment me. the thoughts don't really have a meaning. this happened after a whole year of having stressful thoughts. when i became pregnant and didnt even know i was i started feel weird thoughts, feelings and fears. now i'm on birth control i'm afraid if it's getting worse. possibly psychological? i fear there's something wrong with me. i don't believe in medication as i heard it only makes things worse.

Answer:

sit back and relax. do anything to get youre mind on something else.

sounds like claustrophobia....i would go see a psychologist or talk to your regular doctor about it and go from there .....

I'm not a doctor, but this does sound like panic attacks. If the birth control you are using is the pill or something else that affects your hormone levels, that could be contributing to the problem. My college roommate was always cheerful and upbeat, but when she got a particular prescription of birth control pills, she became seriously depressed.
