I don't have social anxiety- in fact I am a bit of a social butterfly. I don't get test or performance anxiety. My anxiety comes from fear something horrible happening. The past two weeks I have this intense fear that I will get arrested, publicly humiliated by it being in the media, lose my job, and end up poor, destroying my family in the process. I know it's a weird scenario but I keep playing it over and over in my head and I can't shut it off. I can't turn off this feeling of doom. I remember feeling it as a 15 year old, terrified that I would die in a car accident with my family the day before we took our vacation. 

Anyone else experience this? How do you turn "it off"? Meditation, exercise, attempts at distraction don't work. Talking it out with my counselor, friends, partner help temporarily but shortly after the conversation the fear, and my body reacts (tremors, GI issues, and gagging) it's weird But I've never once experienced the classic symptoms of a racing heart or shortness of breath / hyperventilating. 

I really kind of feel alone with my anxiety. Most articles that I read speak of social anxiety or testing anxiety with hyperventilating. That's not me. So it also wrestle with maybe some sort of weird premonition of something bad to happen? I don't know. 

Some background- I was on Lexapro last year for 6 months. It helped but I also got some nasty side effects, so I stopped. I am going to see a psychiatrist soon about another medication. I may ask about Wellbutrin, as I also have some depression issues.
