So it’s been 2 years since I’ve had severe OCD and I must admit I have come along way. But my fear of death is still a problem. I am constantly thinking about the death of myself and my family and how bad my anxiety will be when a family member dies or something... how do I get over this..? I’ve tried and tried to accept that death is the price we all have to pay one day.. but for some reason it stills bothers me everyday.

same with the family members. It’s just such an INSTANT mood kill and takes a huge toll on me

@mohelien that’s great thanks for sharing

Some of us are scared of the unknown and death is unknown. I went through the same thing and now it doesn't bother me how it used. Still get some thoughts about it here and there and it upsets me if I'm emotionally down. One thing that eventually helped me when I got over it was joking about it like "yeah we'll have to die doesn't mean we actually will" now some will say that is avoidance but it really helped me moving on

Thanks for the replies

I had this to, I used the Bible to help me and eventually God healed me. what I say is you know it’s okay to be fearful but I know God will never leave me or forsake me. instead of thinking of death and how much you fear it, live life like the thoughts are not there, live with love and hope that there are good times, focusing on the good memories and good times I’ve had has helped me escape my brain. Whenever you get past it, ocd will get mad- I know cause it happens to me but what I do is invision it as someone I don’t like yelling at me, trying to take my joy and happiness away. Life is short, focusing on death, the bad things and worrying (I’ve learned) will just take take and take. You’ve got this stay strong!!

Somebody told me the first couple of year’s of Having OCD is tough but after ten year’s. It get’s a little better.

I’m scared to death of dying and about the unknown.

Well shit I just started ^^^ ????‍♀️???. Here’s to the age of 40

Me too Stacy. I have suicidal stuff and then panic about dying ??

Guess there’s need to worry until I’m closer to when I’m going to die.
