fear of dying.

[illaeskrilla]

I don't know exactly when this fear of death started but its really bothering me, always scared that something is wrong with me, having panic attacks multiple times a day. Its not even that I'm scared to die. I'm scared of losing the few people that I love, forever..

like right now I am trying really hard not to freak out about every little pain im feeling but I cant help it.

I just feel alone in all this. Ive had bloodwork done CT scan, chest xray and everything is fine. Its just me stressing out and causing myself physical pain. I am so tired of the anxiety and panic.

Morning illaeskrilla.

Like so many of us on here your worrying is causing you more suffering, if you can keep telling yourself it is my anxiety making me feel this way and tell it to go away if you do it often enough it really does work, I know it sounds silly but give it a try.

Take care Kenny

Thank you Kenny. I have been trying so hard to do that. I feel like this is never going to go away

There is nothing more certain than that we are all going to die - even a babe born ten minutes ago - that is our fate.

It is the journey that is important, and as FD Roosevelt famously said "The only thing we have to fear is fear itself"

Not a lot of comfort for those of us who "Know" we are for the chop every time we get a panic attack - what will my son/daughter/parents/dog do when they find me stiff as a board? What if no-one can get in? And on and on. I've been there so many times - and therein lies the comfort! My late husband, bless him, used to say to me "No dear, you can't have cancer there because you had it there last year" - sane man! Just remind yourself that there are thousands of us with this problem - and we're all going to see the sun rise tomorrow, and if not everyone will cope. Anxiety, please just go away and leave us alone!
