I have the same fear and it can be consuming. I have to ask myself what is it about death that really frightens me. So I do know that it's the fear of what will happen to me after I die. I was raised Catholic and it really stuck in my mind that hell was around the corner. Always. I have to tell myself that that is not true. I've been reading a lot of Buddhist texts and that has been helpful. It's a tough one because we are going to die. We just have to make the most of every day we have. Or do our best to do that. Peace to you

you arent alone my daughters also has the same fear and shes only 20 its very upseting to see when shes in that mode but she is comforted by being where i am if im not close to her shes worse so if i go away i have to lie so she wont have an attack so its taking over my life as well

jb you are not alone sweetie. I also started to get like this and have these thoughts after my wife miscarried. I didnt want to start meds yet so I started to see a therapist and its helping me but once in a while I have my bad days.Hang in there sweetie ill be praying for you. I deal with it reading at nights, journaling on DS, and talking to my closest friends, and exercising (really works!!)

I also get this and I'm 22. Every little ache or pain always comes with the automatic thought of death. I get afraid at death at a young age and I want to experience life, marriage, having a family! lol all those things! So you are not alone! This is my biggest worry!

hello i had a pulmunary embolism and after that had an anxiety attack in the hospital .i thought it was a heart attack andit started to happen again a few times i dont think i feared death but im not a big fan of pain when i came home fear was definitly a cloud hanging over me and my born again christian friends were all praying for me and also came over to pray with me. what a difference. calmness came over me and except for a few short episodes im still reaping the benifits of prayer

Panic attacks make you feel like you are dying and that is scary. After I had a few panic attacks I began to fear death. I've conquered the fear by giving my life to God. He is in control and I have to trust him. My faith is stronger than ever. Prayer works!! We have to face that one of these days we will die. I finally decided that I wasn't going to dwell on that fact and instead I'm going to enjoy each day I'm alive. There is so much I want to experience so why would I want to waste my time worrying about dying!

Hello jbsillyme...I posted this on another discussion thread...thought it may help you.

"A combination of things have helped me...I am attacking my anxiety problems from various angles...physical, mental and most importantly spiritual. To heal physically I do yoga, cardio and eat a whole food diet (always try to each fish, chicken and meat - protein is very important in maintaining balanced sugar levels - sugar fluctuation can affect your anxiety ), which consists of limiting my sugar and caffeine intake and abstaining from alcohol, For my mental state I've given up recreational drugs and I also read, watch and listen to soothing and inspiration subjects. To support my spiritual side I read lots and lots of books on subjects such as Buddhism, meditation, positive energy, etc. I always take away something from each book and apply to my daily living. Last but not least ...is my family. Support from family helps so much. Through all this I am more excited about life and wish I can live to be 1000 years old! Of course I have my "not so hot" days, but they last shorter than the used to and happen less often. Good luck to everyone:) There is hope. Don't give up on yourself because life has so much to offer and everything you need is within you you just have to educate yourself how to get it...and each person "gets it" differently. That's the beauty of it all! "
