Yes it`s definetly anxiety related. That was my major symptom when I first started having anxiety.

The best thing is to concentrate on your breathing, slow it down, and try to clear your mind (I know, easier said then done)

I also found that councelling helped a great deal. Sometimes whatever we are anxious about comes out in a fear of dying. at least it did for me. And once i started talking about my other issues, i found that it got better.

Hope this helps a little.

I used to have that fear. I actually think I was close to death a few times. My first sexual experience was a rape where I lost a lot of blood and was severely dehydrated. The details are fuzzy. Sorry if this is too deep.

this is deffiantly my big issue at the minute, this is what sets my anxeity off! i have a real big fear of death and i have no idea where its come from! if u need to talk email me x :) x

Yes, it definately is, i'm afraid. They are the symptoms of anxiety down to a tee. I worry about dying a lot too. Don't worry too much it can be sorted with meds and positive thinking. Take care

i think you were me in a past life..... lol im joking. i have had breakdowns over the same exact thing. im here if you need to talk because i absolutely understand

thats what kick started my anxiety this year lol

I think anxiety is to some degree a fear of not having control over certain things and physical death is one major thing that no one can escape or have control over. It's a huge unknown that comes with a whole bunch of questions that we can never really know the answers to. I have a HUGE fear of dying and it sets off 90 percent of my panic attacks. I wish I had some advice... maybe we both need councilling?

When I was having severe anxiety and PA's I had a fear of dying. I think that sometimes the symptoms of anxiety make us feel like we are dying and thus we develop a fear of it. I used to never fear death until I developed the anxiety disorder. Since I've recovered I don't fear death as much. I don't think about it. We all will die someday and I refuse to dwell on when my time may come. I also believe that my physical death will not be the end of me.

i totally freak over death it scares the crap out of me so i no how you feel i am starting cbt to help with these thoughts

Ok, looks like I have anxiety. I was really hoping not to, but at least it isn't just me! I guess I knew I did really (I am on a support website at 4am, so that might have given it away.)

It is interesting that people mentioned that it could be something else that is bothering me, as a few years ago I had a few months where I didn't think about it at all, yet obviously I was still going to die, so why was it better?
I guess I need to work out why that time was better? maybe I was contented at the time for another reason....

Anyway, thanks for all the help and advice, any more advice would be greatly appreciated.
