Anitety thoughts

[Maggie-cassidy1988]

Hi has anyone sufferd weird thoughts that there going to die our there time is up am scared and doctors said its anxiety it will pass just so scared even to sleep to one min am fine next am like ma times up

[Icanbeathis2016]

Yes all the time I'm like this. Can't seem to get away from those thoughts. I feel if I can stop thinking about death or being afraid to die I can get through this process of anxiety better. But what's worse is this.....I've even begin to counter my thoughts with more fear by thinking "what if I finally get over my fear of death, or finally learn to cope and understand to not keep thinking about death then I die?" It's a vicious cycle in my mind. I'm keep thinking it's soon my time to go and I'm trying to stop thinking like that but then I get afraid that if I learn to not be afraid of it then may still die. All I know is I hope God van forgive me for getting this bad in my mind. I've never been this bad off with my thoughts ever. I can't even focus a lot of times. Is it like this with you?

Yes it was that bad for me. I was barely getting 2 hours in a whole day because I was so afraid to sleep especially when night came. I am doing better as far as the sleeping goes because I'm not as afraid to go to sleep anymore but I still have it bad as far as my thoughts about me dying or think about death too much

[Icanbeathis2016 in reply to Maggie-cassidy1988]

Yea I understand it's like I do get better sleep but it's broken sleep. I sleep with the tv on too. My boyfriend being with me has helped me alot by just being there because I didn't want to be alone

Yeah like right now I have a mild headache, brain feels wierd. I woke up feeling like that. So its like my day is already starting off not good. Are you on any meds for your anxiety?

[Kraft84 in reply to Icanbeathis2016]

Hello, I have to tell you I struggle with anxiety horribly myself, panic attacks several times a day. But you said something that struck me, I'm actually suffering from post partum anxiety(started out with psychosis) but you said you would worry you get to the point that your finally not scared of dying and then it happens. My problem is that I have a fear a of falling away or falling into disbelief and I'm so wracked about it that sometimes ill have a good day going and then I think to myseld, oh my gosh i m not worrying about it ,I must be falling away and not believeing in jesus! And it send me into a panic. So differ sceneries bUT the same problem in the anxiety. I wish I had better advice but know your not alone Xo

[Maggie-cassidy1988 in reply to Kraft84]

Thanks thats same as me have a gd day then am like watt if this is my time up so hard

[Icanbeathis2016 in reply to Kraft84]

Yes yes I totally understand. It's same kinda issue. I start thinking oh gosh if I finally snap out of my fear of death then I'm going to go so I'll even think I guess it's better to be afraid cuz this may be saving me. And it is so foolish to think like this. It's so bad that like everything feels like a sign that my time is up. One day my daughter was praying and I woke up and saw her praying so I asked was everything ok, she said yes that she just woke up and felt the need to pray for me cuz she sees what I'm gping through. Now me with my anxiety and worry I let that worry me to a point I got afraid that she was praying for me and felt that meant something bad is going to happen. I had to ask God to help and forgive me because when has it ever been a bad thing for anybody to pray for you. It's supposed to be a great thing. Especially if you believe in God and supposed to believe that prayer works and changes things. I just can't believe how far my thoughts have gone.

Wow that reminds me of the time I went to dr to have a spot checked and had a biopsy and when I was leaving the Dr said god bless you gina and I thoughtf sure i had cancer and was gonna die.

[Icanbeathis2016 in reply to jamie1975]

Me being the way that I am and my frame of mind I probably would thought the same thing.

[Joel1980]

yes a common symptom for anxiety. it all started like that with not as much anymore.

[Maggie-cassidy1988]

A dont no why anxiety makes p have thoughts that thay are going to die just hard trying to get rid off them

[Devin76oh]

Being afraid of death is something I am sure everyone has thought about and was concerned with at one point in their life.

Are these weird thoughts? No they are not. The way you perceive them can be weird but they are not. I say this because death is a scary thing. The reason it is fearful for many is because they don't know what is going to happen after.

I am a person of faith and I believe in God and Jesus. We are taught to accept death and to understand that we have everlasting life. That is the most beautiful thing I have experienced that I am safe with God and the Lord.

I live with this anxiety (not suffer with) and it is a constant struggle between the two. But I always remind myself there is nothing to be afraid of.

Death is inevitable. And no one knows when your life will end. Only God knows. There is no point in fearing it if no one can tell you when that will happen.

Releasing control is a very liberating experience because it allows us to enjoy things as they come.

My health anxiety has robbed me of very great moments in my life. I will not let it happen anymore. I feel symptoms all the time and sometimes I don't. I just wont let it take away the good things that are happening in my life.

Just pray and I hope this helps.
