How does the symptom “sense of impending doom” work and how is it different that just feeling uneasy?

815 views

I’ve seen this as a symptom for people who receive the wrong type of blood in a transfusion.

If I try hard enough, I can convince myself/brain that something bad is going to happen and get a very uneasy feeling. How is the sense of impending doom different?

I’ve felt it a few times during bad panic attacks. I’m sure there is some biological fight or flight response kicking in. It’s hard to explain the difference and even put into words what it’s like.

Comparing the feeling of being uneasy to a sense of impending doom is like comparing a nerf gun to an assault rifle. Again it’s hard to explain but feels a lot more ‘deep’ and a strange feeling of your brain going “oh shit something is really really wrong, I’m serious this time.”
