see your doctor who will prescribe anti-depressants which work by stopping or reducing these unhappy thoughts. Your doctor may even refer you to a counsellor who will also help reduce these thoughts. Try not to panic and worry...Talk to someone, dont keep it all in. Take care hun, you'll be fine! x

Everyone thinks of dying at times, some more than others. I found that I was thinking more about it at my lowest times, for instance the thought of no one being there. When you start to think about dying, try to think of things in your life that make you smile, it could be anything from an embarrassing moment, a crush on someone you shouldn't or the people in your life that make you feel loved. If your getting that heart racing, shackey feeling, start singing a happy song or go for a run anything to distract you in a positive way. The best advice I can give is 'To Live Life'. Make a list of all the things you'd like to do, like learn a new language or go somewhere new. If you feel nothing helps then talk to someone, you'll be surprised how many feel this way from time to time. If all else fails just remember, your not dead yet, so just go for it. Hope it gets better Hun.

Everyone has suggested you see a doctor and you should. I know what I am about to suggest is easier said than done but it is worth trying. You should do your best to develop a upbeat attitude, when you notice you are worrying about dying try to think of something cheerful, You probably find it is worse at night, if you do make sure you have some happy thoughts in your mind as you are settling down, write some down in the day when you are not so tiered. Depression has two components, cognitive and physical, the physical component needs medication, the cognitive part requires you to think in a happier way. Counseling, psychotherapy and friends can all help, but you still have the hard job of making it work. Good luck.

This doesn't sound like anxiety or depression to me - it sounds as though you've got a little bit trapped in an obsessive thinking pattern.
Worries about death pop back in because you can't 'resolve' the concept - millions of people use religion, spirituality, science to help them do this, i.e. you're not alone and everyone has the same worries at some time - you just need your own solution, one that helps you deal with it in your own way.
If you feel you need help with this. you could try something like NLP or behaviour modification therapy, but do get a proper opinion from your GP first.

Hon you are having panick attacks.. I had them for years.. you need counseling and a doctor to start you on some medications.. You are not dying believe me..I had this for so long I cant even remember when it started.. the only thing that helps me are xanax... I take a low dose once a day right before I go to bed. the doctor may give you something else but is all the same. group therapy is good to meet people is going trough the same things.. I can tell you one thing for sure, Is not going to go away by itself... get help I FEEL YOUR PAIN.. GOOD LUCK.

You are suffering from what sounds like depression! Go to your Doctor and tell him/her how you are feeling - it can be controlled - he will prescribe tablets to be taken that will lift you out of the doldrums and make you feel hungry - so that you eat! This is part of the depression - not eating so you feel worse!
If people were to be honest - we would all say that at some stage of our lives we have all feared dying!
But the best piece of advice is to start with you Doctor!

yes you will get over it, take it from me last year i had strong depression i even had to hospitalized for a week, let me tell you that there is hope and light at the end of the tunnel, please see your doctor and talk to someone maybe even think about going into hospital for a few days, let me tell you a little something about dying my friend, we all have to die some day that's inevitable but once we die we complete our journey here on earth and start that next chapter of our existence as anyone who has had a death experience there souls left their bodies, your soul will live forever. please email me if you wish to talk further :)

It's easy for anyone to tell you not to worry. Even if I say, don't worry, that doesn't make any difference I know. I strongly suggest you to contact your doctor. Don't waste any more time and do something now to reach a doctor.

It will pass, go to church that way you can feel comfortable about death once you get your life where it should be. and start doing more with your time instead of sitting around thinking about when you are going to die.
