My fear of death started when i was young, and when i deployed to iraq, it had gotten worse. I’ve gone to a therapist with no success. They kept prescribing meds and i got tired of taking things to make me feel weird. My grandfather died a week ago and this has brought my fears back and stronger, it’s all i really think about and its starting to hurt my family life. It would be nice to have these occurrences less and less if possible. I’m glad that Gillian had the help, and hope someday I may have the same.
My uncle passed away a few months ago and ever since then, I’ve been pre-occupied with the fear of dying. It’s become over-whelming and something I think about every day, no matter what I’m doing or who I’m with, it pops into my head. I try not to think about it, but one way or another, it’s there. I have a hard time understanding how to feel comfortable with those thoughts, or knowing that everyone dies, it terrifies me and it’s exhausting, yet something I can’t let go of. I have anxiety as it is, and feel as though it’s manifesting itself into different fears, I work out and try to relieve stress when I can, I just can’t get past this feeling.
Thank you Josh I hope you do get what you need and please make use as much as possible of the tips in the article.
Hi Natalie it’s think it will be good for you really learn to relax both your mind and body. People assume that our thoughts produce our feelings but it’s as much (if not more) the other way about. I will teach people to relax deeply before I encourage them to think differently about stuff. Very strong feelings produce unpleasant thoughts and feelings. Once we help diminish the feelings then the imagination starts to behave itself

I am afraid all the time, of dying or of my spouse dying but this fear only took hold of me around the time his youngest grandson died by dog attack at only one 1/2 yrs old. My mother killed herself when I was five and my father is dead to me. also my grandma died a few years ago, meanwhile, now i feel as though i am having a constant heart attack because i am so afraid of myself or my partner dying. I don’t know what to do with myself and even my medicine hasnt stopped the occasional thoughts of hurting myself or having myself committed, but i dont think i am that sick, i just cant get past this all consuming fear and anxiety.
