Fear of dying

[Louise83]

The past few weeks at night I start to have panic attacks I'm shacking and feel sick and so frightened I can't help it but the thought of dying and not existing I can't seem to cope with that. It startin to interfere in my day to day life now I just want it to go away

Hi

It's not dying that scares me, it's the pain that might be involved. If I had a heart attack, I'd not want to survive it as the thought of having another one, waiting for it would be just awful.xxx death is the only certainty in life I'm afraid. Xxx

I'm exactly the same! I'm terrified of hospitals, being ill or dying xxx

I tried speaking to my boyfriend but he just shrugs it off so I'm worried about going to the doctors I'm only 29 but can't get rid of these feelings : (

I wrote a blog today about doctors worried and scared about going thinking they wount believe me and think I'm being stupid. The people who have commented have given me confidence to go. We are not alone we can all get through this together x

I actually think its quite normal to fear death...... who want to die?? I fear it and worry about it too.... especially since my dad died............ I think this is normal......

but if its interfering with your life then maybe a trip to your gp would be a good idea........??

I used to worry about dying more. Still get an intrusive thought about it sometimes but mostly i think it will be a good lie down arf! Good luck. X

Hi, I also have a bad fear about dieing it's horrible sometimes it's just a quick thought but when it gets really bad to the point that I'm gonna have a panic attack the only thing that calms me down is that I get up start walking around and just think off all my friends who are about the same age and that it's going to happen to them as well, not nice to think that I know but that's the only thing that stops me having a panic attack even thinking about my kids doesn't stop it because they are young it only works for me if it's someone about my own age, hope this helps but your not alone
