My anxiety revolves around me dying. Im always afraid im going to die. Well my Husband doesn't help me much, he will say thing's to me like what u have a brain tumor? Or tonight will be ur last night. And u know some people quit breathing while their sleeping. Idk what to do anymore. How will I ever cope with it if he is always saying these things?

I have a huge fear of dying also, I also was scared of affixation while sleeping but that generally happens only when you sleep on your back, and more often in males, and even when it does happen, your body will make yourself cough to reopen the airway. your body is very smart and is able to look after itself!

but, if that still doesn't ease your mind, sleep on your side! your airways won't block up if you sleep on your side

Talk to your husband explain to him that his comments dont help you, that they dont help you in anyway... There are good videos on how to help people with anxiety on you tube... Show him one maybe? Maybe he doesn't know how to react or cope with him... And here is a leaflet that really helped me maybe it will help you

I used to have a fear of dying, but..then I let it go. Me believing in God helps a lot because if I die, hello, Heaven. So, that aspect really doesn't frighten me. My fear is losing control and being in a state where I can't find joy and peace. Dying in your sleep? That's quite unlikely, but painless, I'd assume. Which isn't really reassuring, but anyway.

One: you are not dying. It is a fear. A fear just as any other. I have a fear of getting sick and losing it but I haven't done either one of them.

Two: I noticed my fears ebbed some when I got closer to them. For example, my anxiety attacks feel like this rush that I'll be sick since I have such a big fear of it and after having so many of those rushes...it really doesn't scare me anymore. I still don't want to get sick! I'm saying, if I ever did, well, then what? It's not the end of the world or anything.

As for your fear, it's a bit more complicated since it includes what some deem the unknown and so forth. But you are healthy. There is no reason for anything to happen to you. The fear will pass, I promise.

And talk to your husband. Just say, "you know, this is really bothering me and your unsupportive words are really starting to get to me. I don't appreciate it. This is a fear of mine and you are mocking it. Give me the respect I deserve and please, please stop."

Personally, I'd get rid of the husband and get some peace of mind.

What an unhelpful husband. I find it hard to take on board that someone who should love and comfort you would be so inconsiderate. I'm sure a lot of what he says is in jest,but it just isn't funny. Is his sense of humour(I'm calling it that to be polite) a cover for anger he feels towards your anxiety? Find someway of showing him how very painful and real your fears are to you. A leaflet I see was mentioned in one of your replies,maybe get that and show it to him. And I think you have many good years of health and happiness ahead of you,hugs Sam xx
