Constantly thinking about death dying and people that died my age

[Jmerrick22]

So recently someone whom I heard about that went to my school died and he was 24. I don’t know what it was but I’ve had a few days of extremely strong anxiety, and where I feel like I wanna scream, rip my hair out , or punch something or cry. It’s like it built so high in me, the anxiety I mean. I panicked and made a dr appt. well. I’m now on blood pressure meds, and buspar. So I take buspar , and toporol xl. They did an ekg and found a small arythmia. I feel like ever since this occurred, this * switch *went off in my head. I don’t feel the same. I’m kinda of depressed, kinda anxious. I feel it’s a lot situational though. I’m pressured with finances, I have a house where I’m in right now where there is no water, or furnace broke because landlord won’t fix it. I’m currently going to be moving into a new house soon, which I’m happy about, but the property manager avoids my calls and does give me straight answers which I think gives me a lot of stress. I literally was completely fine until a few days ago which is when this all started. Does anyone else feel this way?? All these thoughts driving you crazy and they just don’t stop. I feel like I’m unreal or something.

The dead of someone you knew triggered your anxiety to raise..also your personal problems added more stress..I'm feeling like date lately due to some events in my life.I also went to the doctor and changed my meds,which helped a little.You are also over thinking all the situations,I'm like that too..try to avoid that,you'll be moving to a better place,things will get better,don't loose hope!I took for sometime meds for blood pressure because of anxiety and now I'm off.Hugs

Hello, yep, I often fear death, dying but also old age, there was a time I got really depressed, crying everuday, wanting to run away, but couldn't gecause you can't run away ftom it. I wanted my gran back, I wanted to turn back time, be a kid again....I hate seeing old people at the homes who I seen walking fit and strong looking so old and frail...

It past eventually. Some wise old person on elderswisdom circle made me feel better, they're like virtual gramps, one thing that stands out is that we should focus on what we can control, because focusing on what we can't control puts us into anxiety mode and the feeling of being out of control..

I think it will pass for you eventually, but I can assure you that you are not alone, we all fear it. I ended up looking at NDE'S spirituality and all that, helps a little.

You'll need to focus on living and live the life you want, the best you can, you won't die any time soon, if you do, you won't notice it.

I rent out property, and I always make sure property is livable and any probs fix it, don't know why your landlord refuses to fix things, or help you if you're havinb trouble paying rent.

I think because of a lot of rent dodgers and nightmare tenants out there, it makes it hard to trust people these days making it hard for people in financial difficulty to rent a house/flat. Are there anyone in your area, like citizens advice or similsr that can help with finances? Any government/council houses/temp. accomadation while you get things sorted?

I suggest you try keep yourself occupied to reduce stress, go for walks, volunteer, go to the gym, yoga and meditation, pack your bags and go on a work exchange, working in exchange for accomodation.

If you can get a temporary job, like in a supermarket or cafe/restaurant might help.

You can try psychologist or a therapist, not sure if they are free in your country.

But having someone to talk to face to face helps.

Sounds like stress to the max. Try not to worry, that will only make you ill, goes for a long walk if you are in a safe place, exercise is a big help, it helps the brain. Talk to your Dr. perhaps some med. for anxiety to tide you over til you feel better. And talk to us we will listen. I send you love and strength to get you thru. Sprinkle 1...........xx

Hopefully the move will level out your emotions. My friend used to go to the batting cages and hit balls when she spiked in anxiety.
