My partners friends mum last night just drop down dead out of no where but she did have Fibromyalgia and now I’m having a panic do about me dropping down dead.
It’s not the first time of thought of dying, I work in a care home I my head can come to terms of death, I have panic attacks about this and I always think I’m going to dye every time when someone has died...why is this? And is anyone going threw the same thing?
I'm afraid to say it's apart of life, and yes even at my age I think about death (56) but I don't dwell on it,but perhaps the environment you work in will make you feel more susceptible to feeling like you are more vulnerable, and especially when you're partners friend mum died suddenly,and maybe your age can make you feel a little more sensitive, alot of things may have just happened, and you feel very upset at what has happened,its difficult to try not to take work back home, and even subconsciously with all the people dying from the covid virus might be giving you nightmares etc,and all this could be playing on your mind,firstly I wouldn't worry, life is for enjoying, and you will have many happy years ahead of you,maybe have a look at changing your job,the human body is extremely resilient, and I've had major life saving surgery, on two separate occasions, and I'm still kicking around like a young pup on a good day,we all get life experiences from what happens around us,it gives us empathy, soulfulness,kindness, thoughtfulness and compassion,so just enjoy your life, and you'll have many happy years ahead of you, trust me!
Lovely reply. x
I think what it is because of my age(nearly 19) I think I’m young to be knowing and to be seeing death...I’m sat In bed now thinking I’m going to die. I try to not think about but it’s not for going, iv tried getting help from GP ETC but nothing seems to work and no matter how many times I try to speak to someone it always seems to come back.
Its definitely your age,trust me,its normal, and unfortunately you'll be making yourself worry unnecessarily, I knew straight away by your message that you were young, take it from me,you will have a long and fulfilling life, go out and enjoy it,there is no point in letting your brain run riot, you will still wake up tomorrow morning, and the sun will still be shining, I used to worry about my parents dying, but there's nothing I could do about it,honestly, life just rolls on ,sometimes it doesn't help if you have an overactive brain,go for a run, or listen to some music, before you settle down to bedtime, it's a phase in life, there's more enjoyment than sadness going around I can assure you, life is a laugh!
It’s perfectly norma to feel that way. It happens to me as well. But fibromyalgia is not not fatal. She could have had something that went undetected. The autopsy will say. When I begin to panic about death, I remind myself that it’s just a part of life. I say a prayer for the diseased and force myself to think about something else. I usually achieve this by doing something like cleaning or cooking. Going for a walk. Whatever I can do in the moment to clear my head.
I’m thinking it now...like I’m just out and I still think I’m going to have a stroke and just drop dead. I just want these thoughts go
Are you seeing a therapist? Are you on any meds?
