Yes everyday which gets so bad I have panic attacks then that really makes me think I'm going to die 😕 I have a 17mth old baby I put him in the car I think what if I have a panic attack and crash the car and we die then that makes me have a panic attack and I won't drive I walk then I think about what if I die I can't leave my baby he won't know who I am etc etc it's a viscous circle of thoughts and emotions but reading all the comments a lot of you guys worry about death to so we are not alone love to you all xxxx

It is worth looking at:

allaboutcounseling.com/libr...

which gives an idea of what to do about it.

I remember once hiking along a cliff top path. The path crumbled and left me sliding towards the edge. I happened to grab a clump of grass with my left hand while over about a 60 foot drop over a rocky hillside. Amazing how the thoughts of death spring unbidden to the mind! You miss an awful lot of fun though without a bit of risk!

The thoughts of serious sickness or injury are really worth having.

Not exactly. My wife has a fear of me dying in my sleep and wont sleep with me. I'm 68 and she wants me to work forever, probably because she wants me to die at work or out on the road somewhere. Is there a group that can help with problems like this?

We’re worrying over something we have no control of when it’s her time to go it’s time to go we are trying to chase whatever is in the world and we can never get it but we try to run away from death that we can never escape

Does everyone just accept that they might unknowingly sleep with a corpse next to them one day? I guess we do, but we dont think about it. My wife does though think and worry about this though, apparently; enough to send me off to the spare room to sleep.

Same here same here !

I don't fear it. Both my parents died at a young age, one really suddenly and the other slowly and painfully. I hope it's quick for me and I don't linger, that people are not traumatized by it and people remember the good I tried to do and don't talk of me in a bad way.

Not what you're looking for?
