It’s gonna be ‘ a bitch’ for sure. Think about the good things in life.

Hello Keda. Welcome to the forum.

Is there a reason to doubt I will die one day? Death is part of life. It happens in the best of lives.

I only believe that we are hard-wired to be anxious and nervous just thinking about it. In my biology studies we called that hard-wiring, "The Survival Instinct." Death is a part of life, but Mother Nature doesn't want us to be in a hurry to get there. Just believing. . .

For sure you are not alone.

Welcome to the anxiety board at DS.

You've taken the important first step in writing it out.

Death is part of the circle of life.

Best wishes as you find your better balance.

I was once telling someone that I'm worried as heck that one of my sisters is going to die first (I have 3 sisters). That person told me "Maybe YOU will go first"--- OMG that scared the beejeebers out of me!!! Yes I'm scared. Scary part is no one knows when, where or how.

Thanks everyone for the insight. It just sends me into tears and shaking when I think about it. But I know it will happen one day and I will be In a better place.

I have the same exact fear. Sometimes it's so intense that I will start crying, my body will start shaking, anything that has to do with death and dying just triggers this panic response in me. Even answering this question right now but I am grateful that I am not alone in the world. I know that this is going to happen no matter how hard I try to avoid it, but I think sometimes "the world will go on without me, I won't be here 70 years from now, etc. etc. etc. and it scares the hell out of me. Just thinking of it
In fact I'm going to end this now because I know that I will start having a full-blown panic attack and start obsessing on the unknowns
Sometimes I think that people don't understand how intense of a fear this can be for people like us
