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!

It feels like my life is about to end
No I’m not attempting or anything. I am just really in a depressive state as of now. I am so convinced that my fear is real you don’t even know. I don’t know what to do. I just want to go to sleep and wake up in a reality where this is all gone. But honestly I don’t know if that would change anything. I’m scared that this is who I was all along, and I’ve just been delaying what I will eventually become. I don’t want to do ANYTHING that my intrusive thoughts say AT ALL. But honestly that doesn’t mean anything anymore. I’m so convinced of the thought “you’ve been doing it this whole time without realizing it.” I think it’s true now. I feel incredibly stuck. I just want to be hugged :(

I literally have the worst death anxiety
My chest is aching from the stress of it all. I haven’t felt this bad in years. Please any words of advice would be most helpful. The fact that I’m going to die one day and I have no idea what’s going to happen next, possibly nothingness, and I lose out on all my memories of everyone I ever loved, everything I ever did, is messing me up. I’m 27, and idk how I never felt this way before. I never had these fears before. I never even thought about death like this before let alone it scaring me. Now it’s just stuck in my mind 24/7. The other thing about death is I have to do it alone! :( I love my mum and brother more than anything, I have to leave them one day. I can’t believe it. And they have to leave me?

Death OCD
It’s been several days of feeling paralysed with fear and engaging in compulsions by reading so many NDEs. I don’t even know how people live their lives knowing they’re going to die one day. I’m gonna miss my family so much!!! I mean I’m not gonna know because I’ll be dead! I can’t even look at them without feeling sick. What’s the point of life if we all die? GOD!!! I literally can’t do anything! I’m so overwhelmed!
