Hello all,
I was'nt sure if this is the group that I should join or not...Maybe some of you can let me know......I do have a phobia,,its the fear of dying. I know many/most people fear dying, but I have seen many therapist who have labeled with with having a phobia of dying. I deal with anxiety everyday,,but most of the anxiety comes from my fear.

Yes, you are in the right group. Sorry about your fear..They're definitely is a difference between a fear of something and a phobia. Like i fear spiders- I will jump up and scream and run around till i kill it...But it doesn't put me into a panic attack. But, when someone is sick or i feel sick i am in full panic mode.

I also share your fear of dying, my anxiety also comes from my fear of this, Am terrified that I am just going to drop down dead and this petrifies me particuarly as am a single mother with 2 children, realistically I know that this is unlikely to happen as am a healthy 34 year old woman but cant seem to make the fear go no matter what x I think that the longer I have the thoughts the easier they get to deal with as have feared this happening for the last 4 years but am still here to tell the tale but still make me anxious pretty much most of the time x so just so you know your not alone x
