Do not doubt your christian beliefs, coz as a christian, satan will target you more than any other non believer. He wants you to focus on death, he wants you to be negative. He is the great deceiver and he comes to kill, steal and destroy. Be strong in your faith, continue to praise and worship jesus, even in moments of doubt. Listen to worship music as often as you can. Demons do not like this, they will be driven away. But most importantly you have to know who you are in christ. How strong is your faith? Faith without works is dead. It is not enough to just be a born again christian, and sit back and wait for jesus to do all the work. Call upon the holy spirit. Sit in your room for half an hour and pray for guidance. The more time you spend with jesus, in praise and worship, the stronger you become in faith. You said that it scares you to the point wher your heart starts to pound, well, thats what the devil does. Anxiety is what it is. What do you mean you have no insurance? You dont insurance to talk about this problem. Whatever you do, dont see a doctor or a psychologist, coz alot of them dont believe in god, and they will just think you are a nut. I know a really good person who will help you overcome this. What suburb do you live in?
I am 16 and have been diagnosed with depression. Lately I too have been thinking alot about death. Try instead of thinking how something is related to death, how it is related to life. As far as religion goes, just know that the Lord would never give anyone more than they can handle. Seeing someone about it is a good idea, but if you cant, try talking to friends about it. I told my friends about my condition and they help ALOT, more than my counselor does. I wish you the best of luck. Try those suggestions, they worked for me.
It sounds like anxiety attacks. These should not make you to start second guessing your religious views....drawing closer to God than pushing Him away will help you. I am a Christian and He is the only thing that sees me through trials.
i have just been diagnosed with depression and bi polar disorder and im 16 just like andrew. i have thought about death an unhealthy amount lately and have too been second gusessing my christian veiws. pray, it does help and read the bible, but try to steer you mind away from the dying part of death and to what you can do before it happens to live a long and procucdive life
Most areas have clinics available that use a sliding fee scale & often they offer the services at no charge. Look into this. You sound as if you really need someone to talk to.
i think about death alot - it gets to the point of actually being able to feel the pain and experience the death im thinkign about - not good when im driving [:
jsut change the subject think of something you cant relate to death - sex for instance i know it sounds pervy but why not?
also secodn guess your relgious views? whats wrogn with that i secodn guess everything, i question everything - lets face it skimmign through the bible its pretty clear it was written by a man, and if woman is gods second draft at humanity then wheres the third? :D
i mean lets face it the bible coudl of been a popualr fiction story book which over the years got lost in translation and people began to believe it - in anopther 2000 years who is to say people wont be living by a religion under harry potter?
sorry but off subject but see - if yo udo this then your midn will wander away from death :D good luck!
You didn't say how old you are but you did let us know you're Christian (the dove?). This is either a temptaion, or a testing.
The devil want us all to not "believe" that God really did die for us. You know better but right now you need someone to talk to. There are free clinics in every county, usually in your own town. And do not hesitate to talk with a priest or pastor.
You could also use the prayers of fellow Christians. Don't you find it interesting that this is happening in Lent, we just had the Gospel about Jesus' temptaion after his forty days of fasting in the desert. The last temptation was the devil telling jesus to throw himself down f rom the temple, surely God would save him, that's the temptation of suicide. We who are fasting and praying during our "forty days" face the same temptations. Find someone to talk to. I will pray for you. By the way, no one "wants" to die, it's just a road we all must take, at some point in life we all come to realize our own mortality no matter what we believe. Trust, pray, & wait!
ignorance is bliss, if you don't want to worry about it stick with religion... Not to say religion is wrong, it might be right even but what are the chances? The bible has been in so few hands so many times its highly unlikely its not been changed to suite man. Every culture has a religion they hold true, christianity just happens to be ours... the truth is nobody knows... then it comes down to perspective and how you deal with not knowing...
If you simply cease to be than you needn't worry at all because you will be neither happy nor sad which is content, sure you won't be conscious but its not devistating and lonely...
Some believe you join the earth, this is in fact true, proven by science.. wether or not your "soul" does is unknown.
the fact that energy can never be destroyed only converted, the mind is made up of this therefore it cannot be destroyed only changed...
'Not thinking' is not the answer, thinking in a way that makes u comfortable with the inevitable, maybe.. if not than life is fear and despair anyways so why fear death
Hi there, you said you have been thinking about a death so perhaps someone very close to you has passed away,. And it's a really hard thing for anyone to go through. If it's someone's death affecting you I highly suggest the following
~Find a local Library and get a book on Bereavement, if they don't have one try a book for depression (as this can cause this) and ask them to order a book on it for you. You could try ordering one VERY inexpensively on ebay or Amazon also. Ones I personally recommend are When bad things happen to good people / by Harold S. Kushner
http://books.google.ca/books?id=TlkoAAAA...
Or if that book wouldn't be helpful there are other great books that will really help you on this subject.
I hope this will help you and things get better soon.
Well there's low blood sugar. Eat a snack with some decent sugar when this happens and you should have a free mind for your entertainment.
I'm not surprised all that you mentioned happens as it comes with the condition usually. Also eat small meals up to eight times a day instead of just one or two... it makes all the difference in the world for me so I speak from experience.
Lastly thinking about death is a vicious circle isn't it.... We know nothing about it 'cept we don't play shuffleboard anymore so maybe a little study wouldn't hurt and would maybe give you some insight into why you can't stop thinking about death.
Sorry but finally I strongly suggest a goal. A Dream if you will. Something that is totally beyond what you're used to wanting and with that in motion everything falls into place and as a bonus the rest of the stuff gets left behind.
