Hi haydenwilson21, first of all you need to know why you are so afraid to die. Did something happen to someone close to you? Did you witness an accident? If you can come to terms with the answer than you can start working getting rid of your phobia.

As for me my fear of dying came out of nowhere.. One day suddenly I felt so scared of dying and I keep crying and crying and crying with this terrible symptoms for years until one day I went to a counselor and she referred me to a doctor and I've been diagnosed with anxiety disorders only after almost 5 years suffering from it and I don't even know what's going on with me. My point is that whatever you feel today will be okay and if you don't know what's going on with you should we all all of us can help you just go with it and go to doctor and they can prescribe you with medication that really will help u a lot... I understand about the food yet so I'll even until today I've been feeling that my fear and my phobia is on and off. But the less I think about it the more happy I am.. Don't think about it too much.. No need to control everything... U will be just fine my dear. 😊😊😊

Its normal for anxiety... U just have to calm down or u will get panic attack.. Go to your doctor and he will prescribe you with xanax or other Anti anxiety medication. That will help balance the chemical in our brain and u will be fine.. Im like that before and even till today sometimes.. Anxiety disorder is something u cannot control so please dont feel anyhow as its not your fault... Sure u are a great father and great husband... Dont give up.. You can do this

I had same from 5 to 35

then I had 'psychic' experience

and a couple like it since then.

I was having coffee with my older friend one hot July afternoon

My dad had passed few months earlier

We weren't close

The room went very cold and we both saw him and heard his voice

My friend wasn't 'psychic' or interested in the spiritual at all.

I didn't repeat what he said to my friend but he told me afterwards what he said to me..so no hallucination/wishful thinking

Afterwards my fear of death completely went

Hi haydenwilson21

I was 24 when I got my first panic attack because of my heart condition AFIB( atrial fibrillation), but it was not life threatening.

To me it felt life threatening!

Today I'm 45 years old, and left the panic monster long ago.

To panic did not help, me but getting enough information and help to overcome panic/anxiety attacks did help me.

There is hope and help for you.

Try praying and reading the bible, breathing techniques, talking to friends and Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT).

Fear of death is very common. But, it's also the one thing in life that is absolute!

Death is scary because it's uncertain. But it also is what makes life so precious.

Having a fear of death isn't exactly terrible. Focusing on the fact that you are going to die someday is just a bit off point.

Appreciate every day you are alive. Enjoy the beauty of it all, because our time on this earth is short and tomorrow isn't promised.

You will never know when your last day alive will be exactly. So make each day the best. Death is the final adventure, and you will brave that journey someday. But for now, enjoy the simple joy of living.

Hi Hayden I hear you when you say you are scared of dying. I suffer from severe health anxiety and panic disorder. I too have had the constant panic that I'm going to die. I get this weird feeling that goes through my whole body it's very frightening. I used to get pain in my stomach, pain around my liver, kidneys and ribs. I had a heap of tests done by my doctor yet nothing showed in any of my scans or blood tests. Somehow I couldn't understand why nothing was showing up but my doctor said it was anxiety which made me feel like I was going crazy. Surely it all can't be in my head ?? So I went to another doctor and same results, anxiety is what I was told. So I was relieved and was reassured that there is nothing wrong with me. So I have now convinced myself that I'm fine and just keep reassuring myself that I'm ok, but still get anxiety just not as bad as I was and haven't had a panic attack for a few months now thank goodness. Go to the doctors and get some tests done to reassure yourself that you are ok. I am also seeing a psychologist which has helped me heaps as I won't take medication. Doctors seem to medicate to easily for anxiety and I hate popping pills. Stay strong and I hope that you go and talk to someone :) Take care X
