overcome fear of dying

Yes ! it happens to be quite often. Those fear are unreal, just like the fear of "going crazy" loosing your mind. when i feel that way, i usually put something on to watch...like a nature documentairy, something calm that i watch...just the sound brings me comfort and i slowly fall asleep...and guess what, i always wake up in the morning.

Ok I'm a 15 year old male who has had many shots in life. Not in recent past though. My cousins always talked about fear of needles, and until that time I didn't mind them. Now they are the scariest things. At least I think remember I haven't had a shot recently except for at the dentist. I have readabout passing out when recieving a shot, although would that happen to me since I never have before? Do numbing solutions work?

Cat, Y es I had the dying thoughts but I wasnt really afraid to die I was afraid of dying alone. I look back I am on day 20 and I did almost die. My guy and the angels here gave me a new will to live.

Has anyone else in the Household got a fear of dying she may have overheard would she have seen very scary stuff on TV sometimes Parents forget Children can be afriad if they watch scary grown up movies.Has a Family member or pet died recently that has made her anxious,Talking to someone sounds like a good thing,It does sound as if they are doing too much about it and maybe going the other way, and playing it down would work better, she is getting a lot of attention over the Issue.

I am now struggling to cope with the fear of dying, its only recently become very serious, in feb of this year i found out i was expecting my second child, and because i thought i could get pregnant then surely nothing is wrong with me, then tragically i lost the baby and after going through all the motions of miscarrying i suddenly thought well something must be wrong and it has gone on from their, i am constantly checking myself, thinking im pale, checking my tongue, thinking my fingers tips

I have had a toothache/facepain for over two weeks, I know I need to go and see a dentist but I have a great fear of going because of cetain circumstances that happened while going to the dentist as a child. I have been taking advil for the pain and most times it is tolerable but now it seems to be getting worse as it is keeping me awake at night.

I personally hate this concept of dying suddenly, I fear strokes so I obsess over my blood pressure. Dying from cancer doesn't seem to bother me but dying suddenly, no theraphy has helped me overcome this fear. I guess what JS Geare had mentioned earlier is that we should instead of focussing on the fear that we could die suddenly and try desperately try to prevent it from happening. Save all that energy and enjoy the moment we have as this could our last.

I feel like my anxiety is taking over my life. I have a fear of dying and I won't even leave the house now. I'm 18 and I've had it for about 6 years. I see a therapist twice a week and take Sertraline but I still feel way overwhelmed. Any suggestions?

I have never really even attempted to ask a guy out because of the fear of rejection. Someone please assure me that it will happen one day. I guess this topic is just one of those things where I just need to be reassured. Thanks to anyone who answers! Everybody on this site is just truly amazing and inspirational.

So in the beginning of my pregnancy, I was so scared of miscarriage , but now that I'm 34 weeks , I'm terrified of my baby dying in birth . I know it doesn't happen often but it is my worst fear. My friend actually went through this last year , she was around 39 weeks I think when she lost her baby, so it makes it real to me. Does anyone else fear this?

The anxiety produced when confronted with height creates what is near panic. The fear only exhibits itself primarily on the ground and outside.. I do not have a fear of flying in a jet airplane or inside tall buildings. It has become a real problem for me to enjoy skiing. I'm ok as long as I don't have any major "drop offs" thus limiting the area's where I can ski. I've tried to overcome the fear with little success. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks!

It's very rare, I'm sure all will be fine. My husband was terrified of me dying during both of my deliveries, I've had 2 c-sections, first was emergency after 12 hours of labor, 2nd was planned, and I got through both of them healthy. Unless you have major, major issues, it's very unlikely anything like that would ever happen. When you're in labor, you know what to do instinctively, it will feel natural, and the excitement will override any anxiety you have, I promise!

Agreed. But some of these fears can be overcome. Puppies and chicks tend to be fast moving. Find the right kind of puppy at a pound or store, and I bet his response will be different.

So I am going to share with you some of the things I am currently doing to help me overcome my anxiety and fear of death. First of all if you worry about dying everyday you aren't living. So the first thing to do is start living. I know that is easier said than done but start by trying to find the positive in your everyday life. Your family, friends, a pet or anything that makes you happy and focus on that.

I am not a doctor nor a therapist, but can relate to your intrusive thoughts of dying when in the face of all medical tests, you seem to be healthy. There are many different explanations for the death anxiety that you seem to be suffering from. Some are actual phobias and some are just normal fears that humans go through as they age.

I have a fear of that C word but as of today nobody is going to tell me I have it so I get through today, do it one day at a time, all the best, janis.
