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

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!!

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

Does anyone else ever have obsessions about death and the afterlife? This is something I’ve struggled with on and off for years but I can’t seem to make these thoughts go away because my ocd is telling me this is a real fear and there’s no counter thought to act as the compulsion for it because it’s the unknown and that really freaks me out

Really struggling with the idea of death, scares the shit out of me. My OCD has really clung to this and all I can think about is my Loved ones are going to die one day and so am I. I’m flooded with so many emotions ranging from fear to guilt. It’s gotten to the point where the thought of death is always in the back of my mind 24/7. I’ve been having nightmares about it now and will wake up in a full blown panic. Anyone deal with something like this? And any tips to move past this?

Obsession with death
Hi all, first post. Long time health and somatic ocd sufferer, now debilitated with anxiety and a new depression over death - not in a suicidal way - and the afterlife. I can't accept that everyone I love will die, or just human mortality in general. I am grieving something very intensely that hasn't even happened yet. I can't stop thinking about the unstoppable march of time towards death. I can't accept the idea that what is so special in this world - or my world - will be erased. I feel like I will never get over this. I do have beliefs - I'm a progressive Christian, and family members of mine have had experiences of deceased family members on their deathbeds. However, my OCD mind cannot accept uncertainty. How can I - or anyone - be okay if we don't know what happens when people die? I feel like I'm going absolutely insane, and I will never be happy again.
