Question

Answer 1

I understand what you mean. I am not scared to die... we all will someday, but I am sorry for the people to grieve.
It's not selfish, I know that my family adore me and they would suffer a lot.
but you shouldn't be so worried.
you need to see the doctor, maybe get some medication for anxiety

Answer 2

I do not fear death, for it is inevitable at some point in my life. As I live, so shall I die, as we all do. My spiritual beliefs keep death in perspective for me. I have had a good life, and have peace with my maker. I certainly am not rushing to to die either. We all have a time, and must cherish the time that we have in the physical world. Do tell your loved ones how much they mean to you, love them, and live every day as if it were your last. I am a parent to a son in the Army, and hold the same philosophy towards him. I cannot know how much time he has, but make every second count when I see, or talk to him. I do not dwell upon the "what ifs" because they are only what ifs. Death is not the end. The essence of who we are does not die, if it is of any comfort to you. Do live your life to it's fullest, love like it's never going to hurt, dance like no ones watching, and laugh often. Life is not measured by the breaths we take, but the moments that take our breaths away.
Hugs

Answer 3

I don't fear death, but I think I fear how I will die sometimes. It sounds like this issue has taken over your thoughts and that is not healthy. You shouldn't obsess over this because it is taking time and energy away from you enjoying your life with your daughter. Focus on the here and now and enjoy every minute with your daughter. None of us know how long our lives will be so we need to focus on today and living it to the fullest.Don't let these thoughts take that away from you! If you can't get them under control, get some help in dealing with them. Do it for your daughter. You need to be a positive influence on her life and outlook. Good luck to you. Enjoy this day!

Answer 4

This is a form of depression. I suffered from it at around your age. It can be beaten without medication. It might sound a bit simplistic but you need other things to think about, things to look forward to, long term plans something that excits your interest and you enjoy thinking about. Everytime you find your mind drifting in that direction you need to deliberately push the thought away and put the exciting, interesting thing in it's place. Put simply, think happy thoughts.

Night time is the time when these thoughts are most likely to surface. As soon as you mind becomes empty of other thoughts the negative ones slip in and then before you know it you are gripped in a cycle of anxiety and everything seems to drag you further into it.

Reading in bed before you go to sleep might be helpful. Something fictional, exciting but not so gripping that it's going to keep you away. Read until you are almost drifting off. If you have a partner then get a small reading light so as not to disturb them.

If you are in bed trying to go to sleep, or you wake up in the night and find you have begun to get into that thought pattern, get up immediately. Go and make a drink, watch something relaxing on TV, read, anything to take your mind away from negative thoughts.

We are all going to die at some time, worrying about it won't change it, it'll just ruin the life you are having now. Don't ruin today for fear of tomorrow.

Beating this isn't easy but it can be done. Good Luck.

Answer 5

I work in a nursing home and see death on a daily basis. Have had a lot of family die and I use to feel the same way, but now I realize that we are all destine to go sometime and you might as well not waste your time worrying about it because it will only kill you sooner. Stess will kill. That's a fact.
So you might as well get on with life untill your time comes and if you are really worried about your health than do something about it. Work out, take vitamins, cleanse yourself, eat healthy. Do what you can to stay healthy. Hope this helped. Good luck.

Answer 6

Everyone is scared of death, at least a little bit.

Anyone that says they aren't is a liar.

It has skewed peoples judgement from as far back in human history as you can go. People have invented entire religious theologies, complete with propaganda to make you fear for the fate of your 'immortal soul'.

I don't believe in life after death, at least not in a biblical sense. The idea that this life is some kind of test, or that you have to follow a particular set of teachings in order to keep from burning in a pit of fire strikes me as being extremely unlikely.

Live your life to the fullest, don't waste it worrying about what might happen. Obviously try to plan for contingencies, because the only absolute, is that there are no absolutes (except death, taxes, and human stupidity)

Answer 7

No, I'm not really frightened of death - it's just another experience we all have to go through in our lives. My grandad is dying and has very little time left to live and this makes me think about how it will be when my parents, relatives or friends die. The thing is, you cannot get hung up on it, otherwise you will never get through the day. Spend time with your daughter and family and make that time special so that when you do go, they can cherish all the memories you have made together. :-)

Answer 8

the fear of death is healthy unless you let it affect you in life i think most people are scared of death in one way or another i wouldnt worry though because everything will fall into place as it should we will all die some day but until then live for today dont worry about something that hasnt happened

Answer 9

Many people I care for are afraid of dying.
It sounds like this goes deeper for you. You need to get to WHY you have this deep routed fear? Have you lost a loved one? Sometimes the loss of a friend or loved one can bring on this fear and make it almost a phobia.
You have an irrational fear of dying. I would suggest a consultation with your gp. You may need some counselling.

Answer 10

Don't fear death. It is good to be cautious and careful, but you're overdoing it. I suggest that you just relax and live life to the fullest, because by doing what you are doing now you are simply just ruining your whole life and getting rid of any happiness. To answer your question: No. I do not fear death. However, I simply fear that my death (when it happens) will be painful and long.

Answer 11

No I am not afraid to die. I have God in my life and I know that a better place awaits me.Why are you so fearful of death? You are so young. Do you have any reason to think you may die in your sleep? Do you have a life threatening illness? If not then you may consider Therapy.You need to sleep to stay healthy for your little girl.
