    I think that deep down we all have a fear of dying just some of us put off these thoughts.  Have you tried CBT to counter these thoughts. That may help.

      Omeara78 , unfortuntaley Mental Health Care differs from NHS County to another NHS County , my local NHS Healthcare Trust is now very good the psychiatrist i saw when i first went under the local CMHT was old school ( knocking on a bit - must be at least mid 60's and been going for a long time ) and i could not connect with him , thankfully late last Summer he moved to another CMHT in the area and i started seeing a younger psychiatrist - female who conducted her appointments in a different way , was not so formal so i was able to get out more how i felt , feel about life , she doesn't push me for answers and is trying to find out any deep down diagnosis of my mental health besides depression , my local CMHT offer all types of treatment , etc like recovery education where you can go for an hour course or a weekly course depending on what the topic is - one i am interested in is Food for wellbeing - foods that help ease depression , etc , at the moment i am doing Art Therapy which is drawing , doodling , etc your thoughts , feelings on paper which is better for me as i have trouble verbally expressing myself , there is also a Recovery House run by Rethink Mental illness where you go to stay for up to 14 days , you have to do your own food , medication , washing but you have someone there 24/7 to talk to , so like i say it varies between different trusts as to what they offer , take care please and know you are not alone x

      Try to watch some of the speakers on YouTube that had similar problems..I have been listening to them and it does help..it makes u forget about ur self for a little bit and hear someone else that had same problems and how they did it..I was feeling the same way..I'm getting older and it's starting to hit me and I recently have been diagnosed with fibermyalgia..but the worst was the way I constantly thought about death and even felt like I was..I am doing better this week..trying to stay positive and knowing I'm not dead yet why live like it.and eating right, vitamins and no caffeine.hope u feel better soon!
