Im sorry to hear your fear! It must be so daunting. I have this fear too when I was 10. To the point I do a lot of mental and physical compulsions and persuade myself that I can live forever. It is daunting to think about death. But it’s the living part that’s important to think about. I like to think that a second is just a measurement of time, but any good moment can be forever long. When we die, we don’t disappear, we just walk out of time.

I’m so sorry…it’s so painful to witness ourselves be so gripped by fear. Let the tears roll friend. I will hold hope for you. Keep seeking help, and keep trying…life is just beginning. Better seasons will come.

You aren’t just someone, you are someone special to so many. You are living the wonder years of your life and your probability to die at 15 is less than 0.05% - that is 0.05 out of 1000 or extremely unlikely. I am not a therapist but from general experience living life, it might help to replace these disturbing thoughts with something exciting m. Maybe daydream a little. Maybe think about the beautiful life that awaits you on the other side of 20. Think how you want to build your career, what you want to do, where you want to go… just think something else happy. Good luck!

Been obsessed with death
Of course we can’t stop the inevitable but with my ocd it’s all I can think about. I’m afraid I’ll be alone for ever and I’ll fear forever. Fear does not stop death it stops life. But how do I stop fear??? I can’t think of anything scarier than the fact that our conscious will vanish for eternity. I am only 20 years old but I mean the last 5 years flew by like nothing.

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.
