death

[Lolly0201]

I have always been a worrier but lately I have been obsessing over dying or being injured or this happening to a family member. I am so terrified of death that it's interfering with my sleep. I don't want to walk by myself for fear that something will happen to me and I wont be there to pick my kids up from the busstop. I haven't  been able to afford to go to the doctor about this. Does this seem typical of an anxiety sufferer? I find myself awake at night crying over the possibilities of dying. i dont understand why this is happening. I've always been afraid of death but I can't think of anything really traumatizing that's happened to me to cause this. The weird thing is that most of the time i'm fine. When i'm alone I freak out. I feel crazy.

I am 51 and I have had that feeling many times growing up and into my adult hood. I think you have a type of anixety.  You should talk to your doctor and see if he can give you something to take the anixety away.  Good Luck

Hi Lolly,

It ok to worry about things and about death, i do that too, especially when I know someone that has died. I also, cry some nights when i think of my kids dying and how horrible I would feel..... but my dear, this fear is not healthy and you have to fight it.

I don't  want to seem insensitive or anything...but dying is apart of life, we all are going to die and the ones we leave behind, will survive and continue to live...

what you need to do is put your trust in GOD, he allows everything that happens to us, to happen for a reason...whether Good or Bad...we just need to trust Him and learn from all experiences.

Funny enough, i know exactly how you are feeling.... the last time a truck killed some people out here in Jamaica...I was so scared to walk on the road....i was scared to cross the road...and I had to tell me self, that God is with me and if i should die, that's just what is to happen...

and little by little i started feeling good about going back on the road and crossing the road.

it will take time and not because this worked for me means it will for you...just take time, enjoy life and little by little...you will fight this anxiety.... always look for the good.
