I none stop think about death.. I have this pure feeling of dred in me constantly lately I can't eat right, takes me forever to fall asleep and I always am trembling with anxiety inside.. it has got real bad I wake up thinking about it and than its non-stop from there on my whole day I really need some reassurance in my life or something I literally is taking over my whole life

Hi Katelynnstiehr3. Welcome to a safe and caring community.

Death is inevitable for all of us, however the Gift is in the life we

have been given. There is a beautiful book that I have read called

"The Dash". When we die, it's not so important of the dates on

the tombstone of when we were born and when we died. But it's

that - (dash) between those dates that significantly tells us how we

lived that life.

Please seek some therapy to help you adjust to this fear.

We are all together in this one aspect of life. Let's live each

day to the fullest. xx

this is me !!! It’s so awful my brain just is non stop thinking it won’t stop!! The worst thing ever I really do know how you feel x

I hate it when the anxiety does that, when I was first diagnosed with anxiety all I thought about was that I was going to die and then straight after I just wanted to die because I couldn’t cope with the fear of I’m going to die. Antidepressants made the feelings worse so I couldn’t take them. This forum, mindfulness, gardening and reading up on anxiety really helped me. I’m having anxiety attacks at the moment and the same death feelings are there and I just try to ignore them and come back to this forum. Sending hugs

Thank you everyone for your kind words, I'm trying everyday to put this thought to the back burner I know we're all in this together ❤

Hi, I so understand what you are saying. I wake ea morning with pressure or FEAR in my stomach, I usually am trembling and shaking. Yes i'm on meds but to no avail I also see a therapist. It is truly a terrible way to live ea day. Try to keep yourself busy with anything you like to do. It doesn't matter what it is; I have dealt with this one fear for about 10 yrs now. I believe it is because I am a senior and past the mid way mark. I've lost many friends and read of so many passing at my age. I feel that you are still young. Get up in the mornings...play a computer game, have a cup of tea or coffee. You still have a lot of life to live, hang in there.

Thank you so much, I have been trying to keep myself busy I feel like it is slowly fading but I still can't change the fact is it going to happen to that is still in the back of my head at all times... it really sucks I have been trying to keep my faith with God I am about to turn 28 and my boyfriend's 31 I guess time is just moving so fast it scares the heck out of me.

I understand ....I too did think about it at your age but it faded for a while, we even travelled for vacations. I've tried all sorts of suggested "tricks" but none help. It gets worse if I have a health issue pop up and of course I think the worse. Take it day by day, keep busy, play music, walk, You have a long life ahead of you.

Thank you so much for talking to me.. I really do appreciate it and I hope everything goes good for you in life as well 🙏

Here I sit today, in fear because I feel short of breath, it is anxiety but how does on get rid of it.. My therapist gave me some very logical write ups about how to deal with morning fear and how to ground yourself. If I can still find them I would be glad to send you the links. I do believe that talking to someone who has similar issues is good for you. You are still so young, it is highly unlikely you will encounter any serious health issues like stroke, heart attack or cancer. I just finished playing my games on line. I like scrabble, mahjong and hearts. I can send you the links to them if you wish. Keep busy....you are not alone.
