Yes. So much so that I OCD convinced me that I'm gonna have a brain aneurysm and die in 10 years...

OCD convinced me a long time ago that I already went crazy and that now everything about me is a front I’m putting on to hide my insanity.

I am also 28 years old and it's unbearable for me as well. I work in long term nursing so I see all of the worst case scenarios, young and old. I also lost my husband to a car accident when i was 23, he was 29. Now I'm always afraid that everyone that I love is going to die right now and that I am too. It's really hard to come to terms with it

I am so very sorry about your husband ? that is heartbreaking. Sending you hugs! Though my situation is not comparable to the depth of your loss, I understand you. From the end of 2016 to the beginning of 2018 I lost more than 7 people I was close to, some more than others but still all of them had played an important part of my life at some point or other. This had made me feel like there is no point in living if everyone including myself is just going to die.

I also agree with you cwgrlup1990. I have health problems and have convinced myself I’m going to die from one of them before I reach 40. The fear of dying is so great I can’t handle it. I try to tell myself I’m too young (almost 28) to be thinking such things but then I think, not true people die all the time. People you thought were Healthy DIE ALL THE TIME. I’ve known too many people too young to die. TRIGGER : And yes my neighbor died almost 2 years ago from a brain aneurysm, she was 12. That has led my fear of dying almost to the point of unbearable.

I definitely suffered with those feelings. I felt like life was meaningless or a big joke. It was a very hard 4 years. I still struggle with my fear of death and dying, but I'm learning to live for right now. I've spent years obsessing about the future and couldn't just live in the now.

When the massive paranoia of death hits lol
I'm literally just hanging out with my sister and having a good time and I realized "I'm not gonna be young like this forever" and that I'm not immune to death or aging. I'm living just to slowly watch my body die. I'm already going to be 15 this year. I've already passed so much time and I feel like it's going to be so quick and I'll be dead. What if I like living more? What if there's nothing after death? What if it's just black and everything is for nothing. It kinda makes me wish I wasn't born so i wouldn't have to deal with this. it's so stressful. Every moment that passes I'm just getting closer to something I can't control. It's so scary. I can't do this. I physically cannot accept one day I'm going to be gone absolutely forever. I'll have to leave everything. Two minutes ago I wasn't as close to death as I am now. I'm cant handle this.

Fear of death
I have a big fear of dying and death. Is there anyone out there that isn’t afraid of this? If so, can you please give me your perspective on it?

I always feel like I’m dying
This has only started to occur within the last year (I’m in my late 20s). I’ve become obsessively concerned with every single sensation I experience in my body constantly. Realistically, I don’t have any health concerns (besides mental health). I have an intense fear of having a medical emergency in front of another human, I find it to be so embarrassing (only for me tho, if someone had a medical emergency around me I don’t think it’s embarrassing at all). I constantly think I’m going to pass out (I have passed out in public before due to heat and people were laughing at me). It seems like all my bodily sensations have now become foreign to me and everything I physically feel is an indicator that I’m dying. Anyone else struggle existing in their body like this too?
