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.

Death OCD
How do you guys manage your thoughts about death? It’s one of the harder ones because it’s truly an unknown that cannot be proved either way. It always causes me the most grief and I’ve been stuck on it for a week now. Getting worse.

fear of death and ocd
so i have ocd but this is the main theme ive been dealing with for the last few months, im obsessed with my mortality and i feel trapped by the reality of death. i dont really believe in an afterlife which makes it scarier, not that i dont wanna my brain literally just wont let me. but i have daily panic attacks thinking about death all day, its honestly the toughest thing ive ever dealt with. does anybody have any tips on how they manage this if they have ever dealt with it? not looking for reassurance, just some non compulsive ways to kind of lessen the grip of the fear.
This is me!

Aging and death anxiety
I’ve been perturbed for a couple of months now with incessant thoughts about aging and dying. I really am not sure what to do. This feels like other OCD themes, but also really different, because this time, what I’m afraid of is sure to happen. I will either die, or age and then die. It’s been so difficult to enjoy anything lately. I just want to pull a blanket over my head and wait until death comes. Has anyone else felt this way? I feel quite alone. I am trying to enjoy life, but I just remember that it will all be gone in a flash. Nothing really seems to help me feel better. The only escape I have is in my dreams where I can fantasize about never aging or dying. Or at least being able to rewind the clock to have more time.
