Panic attacks about death

Posted , 10 users are following.

I don't know what to do anymore. I'm constantly worrying about it. I'll worry that I have some life threatening disease, or that I'll die in a car crash while driving, or I'll just have a panic attack about it. The thing that scares me the most is that there is no way out of it and that one day it's gonna happen and I don't know what there is after life. I'm so scared that when it happens that there will be nothing. Right now I'm bawling my eyes out because I'm so scared.

    You clearly have GAD and that feeling sucks i know about it.

    GAD is always about feeling worry on prescience, or unseen things and things that not having physical evidence that can be touched. So as result you start to worry and get anxious. Those kind of things are part of believing and thats why they call it faith.

    Now, coming to your GAD, you can talk to someone you trust regarding your thoughts or you may need a therapist.

    Now being afraid of death, you have said it will happen anyway, and yes we cant deny that but heeeey you are healthy and there will be no life threaten condition in your health at all. And if you are outside just be careful of other drivers and you will be just fine.

    When anxiety comes to the point where you cant function your life normaly then you need to see a doctor and see medications options.

    Hope u get better

    Hello Emily firstly i want you to understand that you are not alone, everybody's reasons maybe different but we are all fighting the same thing! I have been there! i know exactly how your feeling and i promise you honey it will end i PROMISE!! the one thing i read and has worked for me the best is to never hide or push it away you have to realise that anxiety is there and being scared of it makes you worse, when you panic about death you have to tell yourself its not you in person thats worrying its the anxiety doing it for you its just clever enough to make you believe that, you have to be more clever and laugh at it, out loud if you have to, i trained myself to see it as my protection helping me to realise i do have fears its just over exaggerating, i did go down the wrong path and choose drugs as a realease and i began to feel like i over did it and my panics and what i thought were near death experiances was just anxiety telling me to stop it took a while to understand it because it was there and i didnt feel ask for it, so thats when i started to appriciate it because in the long run the thing i thought was killing me most defianitly saved my life, im not cured its still a huge part of me i can stop it making me panic so strongly and feel at ease now i know deaths not at my door, im miles away from it not being part of my life but knowing how to control it keeps me strong and i feel proud to not let it beat me.

    sorry for writing so much i cant explain and make you understand in such a short way!  please feel free to talk to me if you need to, no one deserves to feel alone even if it to feel better in an achievement youve made 

    take care.

    Hi hon,life is a gift,enjoy it. I bet you are young and have many wonderful years ahead of you. We cant change the fact that some day all of us will die,but think what would happen if we didnt,the world could not sustain us all,new life will be born and have the chance to experiance life. I think most people do fear it,but what good does it do? It robs us of whatever life we are lucky to have. Xx
