Anxiety Support Group

Anxiety is a physical condition marked by intense and persistent feelings of distress, fear, angst or dread. General anxiety caused by routine day-to-day stresses usually passes quickly and is experienced by almost everyone at one time or another. However, such feelings that linger over time and are very difficult to cope with, and which lack a clear cause, may indicate...

So before I say anything, I'm not suicidal. I have this problem thinking about death. Like what I will look like, or what will happen in the end. I know I shouldn't focus on those things, but it worries me. Like what will happen in the end? No one really knows. I mean not really. People have went to the other side and came back, but can't tell us what really happen over there. Or is it we just go to sleep and wake up in another body on another planet somewhere? God my anxiety wont stop about all this. I know it's coming, it comes for everyone. But I just want to know what is out there. Like my biggest fear is to die. But with all my worry, I have to no time to live. It's always in the back of my mind. 


And just a little note. I was watch a law and order episode that dated back to 2003. It just happen the topic for the episode was corona virus. Yeah, it was even known back then, but no one thought it was real cuz it was in a law and order episode. It talked about how it was made in a lab and then accidently released. Now I'm skeptical when it comes to our goverment exterminating us. But isn't it a little weird they knew about the virus 17 before it hit the US. I mean, what are the odds it would turn out like they said in the show. Now I'm starting to wonder about all this. Maybe I'm just being paranoid.

Writing it out is the best way to work through these thoughts.

Make time to distract your usual pattern of thought with doing something different.

Read the book--Heaven if for Real or watch the movie. The little boy went to Heaven and told what he saw.

I have the same fears about death. I try not to even think about after death too much because it does set me into a panic.

I’m a bit different in that I have no fear of death, just a great curiosity about the process. I do worry about suffering too long but death, meh. I’m also not suicidal btw.
You sound like you have an enquiring mind like many of the great philosophers who also pondered things like this. Maybe you would like to look up stoicism on YouTube.

Hi iv had a NDE, near death experience 27yrs ago and it is an experience I will never forget and I think it was meant to happen, I also lost my eldest son 6 yrs ago and my brother not long before I had my NDE and it totally put me at ease when it comes to death it was the most beautiful. Feeling iv ever experienced without going fully into what happened,I truly believe it helped me when I lost my brother and son, I'm not going to try to convince anyone of my beliefs ,and I'm not a religious person never have been, but my experience was documented that I flatlined for 3 mins, and from that I know there is more then what we do here on earth, I'm not afraid of death, in fact although this sounds crazy I welcome it the feeling was that good,it will happen when my time comes,I have also been able to see spirits since a very young age, and iv seen both my brother and son many times since there passing over, I don't like to use the term death! Because although we cross over to the other side or go home, I do believe in reincarnation and we also come back. Life is just a lesson and until we learn all we continue to come back and get it right. Don't stress yourself because it's lifes cycle .be kind to one another and follow your gut instincts.

I have similar and different thoughts/feelings about death as well. You're not alone in wondering how and when it will happen, or what awaits us on the other side, or if there even is another side. My brain takes it one step further like...If I see something in a movie or read something about someone going crazy or committing suicide, etc...It automatically makes my brain attach to the scary parts and starts a thought loop from hell. Will I turn out like them? What were they thinking before they did that? Am I going to do that? I have the means like they did, but why did it end that way? Etc Etc. I'm also not suicidal and never have been. Brains are weird.

    Reality Check

    Years ago, I won a mirrored armoire from my job.  It's in my bedroom but I rarely stand in front of it.  Yesterday, I had to have a dexascan done so I had to change into a gown.  There was a full length mirror in the changing room.  I'm aware that I gained 5 to 7 pounds over the last year from cheating on Keto but I didn't know what it looked like.  It was a reality check.
