I have to ask??

[Icanbeathis2016]

So I haven't posted on this forum in a long time but I stay active by responding to others from time to time. I've been dealing with anxiety and mild depression for over 2 years now. Had my moments of getting through it and had moments of setbacks time after time with this. My biggest fear through this whole journey is my fear of death. I also had a fear of passing out being that my physical symptoms always make you think you're this close to passing out/fainting. Well unfortunately, I've experimented passing out several months ago. Finally trying to get over it happening. But I'm doing better about that. But my question that I wanted to discuss with you all, Ive heard so many people say, "People can sense or know when its their time to die. They can tell."

Well this petrifies me more. Just recently I heard someone else say that. So with me always constantly thinking of death and thinking Im dying, its like is that what it means to "know its your time"? Is it just my anxiety getting the best of me? Because I have always been afraid of dying and its times I cant even focus on nothing and then I have pretty much convinced myself that something bad is gonna happen to me. Is this what that means?

Anybody can relate or have an opinion about this? What are your thoughts if you don't mind sharing. Thanks.

I wish us well...

We all have these fears. Whether we like it or not we are all born to die. Everyone has to at some point but later rather than sooner hopefully. I just want to share a little tidbit from my therapist when we were talking about this. He asked me "So, you think you can predict the future now?" We kind of joked around about this serious topic but what he asked me is thought provoking. We can't predict the future no matter how hard we might try or want to. So, just keep on keepin' on for as long as we can and try to be happy and productive in the meantime.

Very true...I guess I think I can predict the future and it's making my life miserable in the meantime. But you are right.
