Firstly why do you think you will die in your sleep? You must be worried about something to make you think this!! You could visit your Dr to put your mind at ease.

I think it's because my biggest fear is dying? I think I'm going to die all the time I probably sound really stupid but no matter what even when I try to think of something else it never goes it's constantly in my head

You don't have to be worried about something - this thought is a known symptom of anxiety!!

Ok I know this is not going to help, but we are all going to die one day. You need to take care of yourself, and that means eat well, sleep well, exercise, keep positive, go for chek ups! These are the things that can possibly make you live longer. If you don't sleep your health will be ruined and that's a good road to get to your biggest fear. Sit down and think about it! What are the chances of you dying in your sleep? Honestly that would be my perfect way to die, no pain or struggle :)) Live your life go to sleep,I dare you then write here tomorrow about your dreams:) I'll be waiting! 🙃

The dying thought is a symptom of having anxiety, easier said than done to exercise etc!! If only it was that easy!
