I have a overwhelming feeling of death I have been dealing with the fear of a heart attack or a brain aneurysm even tho I’m in perfect health, it never goes away, does anyone have tips on how to deal with this?
i go through times where i get so hyper focused on stuff like this as well. i don’t really have any tips but just remember you’re not alone
@camilleshae Thank you, knowing other people feel this way actually does help a lot.
Yes. Death and dying and fear of awful diagnoses are my themes. I'm perfectly healthy too. I gently remind myself to stay in the present. Not in the future. Future is not here. I also go see a doctor when certain symptoms bother me to make sure it's nothing serious.
Hi I am going through the exact same thing right now I promise you are not alone although it does make you feel so alone. I really reccomend the book 10 times calmer if you can afford it it’s a book on Amazon which gives you strategies and techniques to help you along your journey Another way which might help is looking into death as a more positive thing.(for example some people believe that we re connect and live again) Really hope you get better in the end❤️
@Anonymous Thank you, I will definitely look into reading that❤️
I get stuck in cycles with this theme. There are times I’m present but it takes one intrusive thought to derail it and cause panic. It’s like OCD wants me to worry so I can “predict” or be vigilant about it and prevent something from happening? It ties in with seeing “signs” in things or if I see anything that relates to my theme, I ruminate, ruminate, ruminate.. Hang in there.
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.
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?
Does anyone have health anxiety fears around heart attacks, strokes, seizures, etc. basically fear of passing out or dying suddenly? Do you get physical symptoms such as headaches, chest pains m, lightheadedness etc? What has helped you?
