are you in therapy?......it is a hard life to worry about something that consumes your time thinking about. There are others here who have expressed the same fears, maybe by reading some of the other members posts and comments you will get some insight and hopefully you will find some coping skills.

I have been suffering with depression for 20 years now and within the past 2 years experienced sever anxiety. I have had days where I wanted to die because of my depression or thought I was going to die because of my anxiety. You will have ups and you will downs. Try to find things that help you relax and find a support group or recharge out to friends or family who you can trust. Hang in there

that was very kind and insightful of you MAO88....and as far as ways to get out of my own head....it's what I do....I comment....and try to understand what someone else is dealing with the best I can....and it is very healing and hopefully helpful.

I’ve had this too, but more fearing a loved one will die. I’d say for a couple months straight it was on my mind constantly. I journaled and cried about it a lot. I’m not 100% ok but I’m much better, I think I processed the fear and depression. It will get better, are you on any medication?

Hi MAO88, I can empathise with what you are feeling. This is a fear I am also dealing with at the moment. My health had been improving following a long illness but sadly I have had a setback and I've been trying not to let me fears engulf me. I'm continuing to practice meditation and relaxation to try and alleviate some of the anxiety. I truly wish us both peace X

Thank you take care my friend

I had the same fear. So much so I would not go to sleep at night. It was not until I developed a closer walk with God that the fear subsided. I also had to realize, I eventually have to go to sleep so as long as my mind is at peace, I am ok. So that is what I strive for and let the waking me up the next day rest in the Lord God’s hands.

Once we have established a relationship with a God He is always there waiting for us to come back to him. He loves us and wants the best for us and He is able to provide like no other. God’s blessings

MAO88, Prayer is powerful.

The Bible can help you to view prayer, not as just "feel-good therapy", but as a precious means to draw closer to GOD.

The Bible tells us that our heavenly Father knows everything...but it also shows His limitless memory is not like that of a computer that impersonally stores data about individuals. In fact, GOD is keenly interested in our innermost thoughts because he wants us to draw closer to him. (Psalm 139:23, 24; James 4:8)

That is why Jesus encouraged his followers to pray, even though his Father well knows our basic needs. The more we share our thoughts with our Creator, the more we will draw close to him...

Hope it helps to know this.

Hugs :)

Your not alone, remember that! Remember God's lived all the horrors of our lives first, there's nothing there but love from him. Remember he is always with you, comforting you holding your hand❤️ All he wants from us is treat him like the father he is, and bless others.
