Fear of death

[leftypanda167]

I am always afraid that I am going to die. I constantly check my heartbeat, and I stay awake at night because I'm afraid of dying during my sleep. My neighbor just passed away at age 62 from a heart attack in her sleep. I haven't slept for longer than 2 hours every night for about a week because I wake up in a panic thinking that it's going to happen to me too.

I also get really anxious when my parents are driving somewhere far or somewhere where there is even a potential chance of death. I am convinced something is going to happen to them.

Please give me any tips or tricks that has helped you through these feelings. I'm kind of new to the knowledge of my Anxiety and am not sure what to do.
