Well everyone gets older theres no way to prevent that. That's like denying life. Its okay to fear that but do the best you can each day and you will age gracefully especially if you take care of your diet, excercise, etc

That's a good point though, they are right about doing your best to take care of your body. If you take good care of it you won't age as harshly. It is a fair step to take to help with the fear, just don't let it consume you to the point of thinking your getting healthier by not eating and things like that. 😋 You can do this!

Things like that are super helpful for me! When I was a kid and scared of it I would remember I can get older, have my own family, my own home that I run, and my own hobbies and money. That helped me a lot. It's now a matter of making that a reality with hard work 😄 (this fear is crippling so I'm so glad that others in here are helping yay!)

I think the post complicated thing at last is to be happy living the present moment. When I was a child I could have killed to have what I have now : a wage, the freedom to go wherever I want to, buying all the stuff I want to. When I was 16 I remember telling myself "I'll buy all of the mcdonald's sandwiches once I earn money!!" 😅 And now that I have everything I wanted to, a part of myself always stick with the thought that I would so much like to come back to when I was still a child, so much innocence in life, the dream of a futur with a beautiful girlfriend, a house and kids to play with and teach things at. I think that's the most complicated things in definitive : be happy with the present moment, and it's not as easy as it seems bc human being are always unsatisfied no matter what they own in life.

Your answer is a bit rude btw, when we don't understand something coming from someone who wants to help it's better to say "Sorry, can you tell me a little more about that" it's more polite 👍

Often it's when you go from being scared to being pissed off in a point that you want to fight.

🙆I'm sorry I didn't pay attention to your word "aging" I confounded with a French word that is "agir" which means do something in the urge of a particular moment. So I thought you were saying something like "How do I get over my fear of "agir"? Sorry for the mess 😅

I struggle with it too, I think part of it is doing what you can to fulfil some of the need to "live while your young"/ enjoy what you know you should enjoy in that particular age, but don't comply with your compulsions of it too much, and then try maybe watching some stuff with older people in it, closer to the ages your going to be hitting next, and find something about those people that you appreciate that they have due to their age as something to look forward to. It's not perfect, but it has helped me a little to quelm some of the anxiety to be able to assure myself that everyday I am trying to do one thing to get what I need from my age and that there are always things to look forward to. It helps for me, maybe it'll help you. If you need a better explanation let me know! It's kinda hard to word it right!

Afraid of my health/overthinking
I went to internal medicine today, and i'm not perfectly healthy, My liver is a little bit fat, I have to lose weight so thats okay, also I have gallsand, which is not gallstone yet but it can become that if its not treated. Now im like these arent big problems but when i heard these I started to overthink and think about the worse that I will have gallstones cause the doctor said I have it cause it runs in my family(my mother/grandmother and uncle had it) and I just think that it wont go away, and even if i doesn I will be worried all year if it came back. Im just so afraid. Also they said I should go get a blood check, but I said i will hesitate now cause last time i almost fainted and felt horrible the whole day, and now i hear from people i know that they went and they felt sick and vomited there. But the overthinking comes from me thinking if these little symptoms I experienced which I thought its because of anxiety, was because of health issues then the other symptoms I experience sometimes (headache and lightheadedness) are there cause of another health issue, and im worrying about my health, im afraid of death, i keep imagining myself if they tell me that i have terminal illness or something really bad and i dont know how to handle it. Now i feel nausea and i would say its because of stress but i keep thinking that its because of the health issues I have...I don't know how to handle this fear, if you ask others or therapists, they will say "yeah everyone is afraid of death and suffering" or "Try to think about something else" and i wont pay for advices like this...

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?

ERP for existential ocd
My recent theme has been time and time passing. I’m so aware of time passing and nervous about it. I’m nervous that we all die eventually. I’ve always been a normal amount of nervous about this, but it has definitely been more time consuming and anxiety inducing. Anyone have any ERP tips I could do for this? Right now I’ve been telling myself “ya time is passing super quick and you are gonna die eventually” but I want to know if there is anything else I could be doing? I don’t meet with my therapist till next week so thought I would ask on here
