Can't stop thinking about me dying

[MAO88]

Everyday I constantly feel like I'm going to die I have been diagnosed with anxiety and depression I can't stop thinking about it and I'm afraid every single day because of it I don't know what to do anymore

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 am currently in therapy I just recently started back up it affects my life on a daily basis most of my day consists of trying to just get through the day

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

I'm sorry that you have been going through that it isn't easy at all its a constant battle everyday that makes you feel like giving up because you can't deal with it physically and mentally I hope you find happiness soon

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?

[MAO88 in reply to Hidden]

Having that on your mind constantly can really affect your daily life I'm glad you have gotten better I'm am currently on escitalopram 5mg a day

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

[MAO88 in reply to CazO46]

I thank you for it I'm sorry that you had a setback as far as your health I really do wish you a full and long lasting recovery I wish for the same also

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.

Very inspirational words I feel that I need to reconnect with God again and have a spiritual connection to ease my worries

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

Couldn't have said it better myself

[Hidden in reply to Hidden]

Same here, when I can’t sleep I start to pray and I calm down

[MAO88 in reply to Hidden]

My dad and mom tell me to always pray and leave it in his hands

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.
