    They call this a fear of "impending doom". It is a classic sign of anxiety and it can cause lots of issues, including insomnia...which you've been experiencing. I'm really sorry you've been having these thoughts, because I know exactly how you feel. I ended up going to my doctor to talk about my own obsession and fear of death. He referred me to a therapist and so far things have gotten a lot better for me. I highly recommend you do the same thing, friend. Talk to your doctor, consider CBT, and also educate yourself on mediciations that might help to make you relax. Oh, and for sleep, try Melatonin! That's what my doctor gave me, since it's all natural. Works like a charm. 

    If you need to talk, please know that I and others are always around for a chat on this site. Peace smile

      Hello! I was able to get Melatonin supplements at my local pharmacy (Walgreens), but they're available just about everywhere. It's basically like a vitamin pill. They make you sleepy, but they're not addictive and don't have any side effects. I bought a 4 month supply for about $3 US currency.

    The Victorians in the UK would not lie flat in bed and would prop themselves up with pillows, in case they would die, that is why the Victorian beds were shorter than our modern ones.

    Why do you feel you will not wake up and die ?, one thing I really feel interesting is been lonely in your grave, if you are buried you are not alive you are dead without any feelings and to make your death more perminent they can tell you are dead before you go into your grave. Many people still prefer embalming by the Undertaker before the funeral, if that is the case you would not escape death so then that is it you are meeting your old family members and friends.

    I was conerned regards my death and I approached my GP and asked him to put a note on my GP notes to slit my wrists and neck. He told me their would be no errors and when I am dead I will remain so, so now they will embalm me before internment as it is on my Untertakers note what they have to do, my Wife will also get Her divi on my Passing.

    It is really sad you are having these dark thoughts, you can asked to be Cremated and that will make sure you will not live after death.

    Please sleep and death is part of living, when we get our final call we have no choice but go, I look forward to meet family that has gone before, it will be one big party when I go on the other side. I will even expect to see our dog Pip, I will be able bodied again and will go on wonderful walks with Him once more

    Stop worrying PLEASE

     It's severe anxiety and it is not going to cause you to die. It's going to suck the life out of you first and it makes life debilitating, but it will not kill you.

     This is the thought, for you that triggers your anxiety. Might be a good idea to get some therapy to talk it through to figure out why this is occurring. It is usually some stress that triggers it behind the scenes.

    Tushar, this is extreme anxiety - you've even mentioned being alone in your grave - which i impossible, since if you were in your grave, you'd be dead.

    Do you feel alone in your daily life? Have you got any trusted friends who you can discuss this with - what about family members\/

    Please don't think you're alone in thining this - many, many people suffer with these feelings, too.

    Have you seen your doctor?  I think your doctor is the first person to confide in and arrange therapy for you.

    Love Tess xx

    Well wen ur gone ur gone. Not alone in a grave thinking . I know it sounds horrible but u won't experience it.

    Who knows what happens after death but as a human race we are all linked by this so don't be scared of talking about it to people. It won't seem so scary if u do.
