Are you afraid to die???!
Question: I always think Im going to die every time I have something wrong with me, like a pain in my head or stomach or something that can be so stupid I always think of the worst. Does anyone else feel this way and how can I get over this and stop worring about it. I have a 5 year old and I guess my biggest fear is leaving her, what can I do to not think this way?
No smart comments please!

we women tend to let our imaginations wander like a movie. for instance, your spouse is 15 min. late getting home from when you thot he should be there. your thots go to "what if he's been in an accident? what if he's seriously hurt? what if he's DEAD??" before u know it, you've planned the funeral, picked out the music, and are ordering the flowers by the time he walks in the door!! it's MUCH more common than you think. The KEY to stopping this behavior, is to become aware of it as soon as it starts, so you can de-rail that thought process and remind yourself that what you fear worst PROBABLY WILL NOT HAPPEN!! Bad things DO happen, but we usually can't prevent them and fretting over them ahead of time doesn't make one bit of difference. AND when you love someone so dearly as a child (your 5 yr. old) you realize how fragile life is, and you desperately don't want anything to happen to destroy all that love and protection. Learn to make yourself aware of your thoughts, and when the fear crops up (i have a headache, it's probably a brain anuerysm) IMMEDIATELY stop the thought process-out loud if necessary. and think on all the times it was "just a headache" and nothing more. I have no idea if you are a person of faith, but if you are, start praying that God would give you some peace about these fears. Learn to trust the things you can't control to Him. read Phillipians 4: 4-8 ...and the peace of God which passes ALL UNDERSTANDING will quiet your heart and mind as you trust in Him... hope this helps! u r NOT alone in this!! :)
Yeah,I was scared of dieing,go to a doctor,seak out the reasons for the things you get wrong with you,so you`ll chalange the notion that your going to die because you`ll now the causes! good luck.
I try to think in a courageous sort of way. I have a son and I have battled cancer in my early 30's. I just think--life has to be harder than death.
Think about how u will go to heaven wen u die n how even if u leave no matter how much u love her she is in gods hands and no matter how much you dont wanna belive it he loves her more than u could ever! crazy rite?!

I've learned to live with the idea because I was sick as a child and spent a lot of time in the hospitals and I was supposed to die before my 2nd birthday. I would start by trying to decide what it is that these thoughts give you. Humans never do any thing with out reason, you have to find the reason that you're afraid that you will die young!!! Did one of your parents die young or a sibling?? I've lost 4 so that's made me even more determine to live as long as I can. Once you figure out what it was that has caused these thoughts you'll be able to figure out how to decrease the thoughts. Also do every thing that you can to keep healthy so that you know that you're doing the best that you can to stay alive an healthy for you and your daughter. My greatest fear is having to bury one of my three girls, I don't think that I would be able to deal with that. Try and remember that she needs you and that she will for a long time. IF you have a belief in a higher power may be you should try and connect more with that higher power. It's been proven that people who have a belief in a higher power have less fear of death.
An obsession with dying can be an anxiety disorder - it is one of the symptoms. You didn't mention if you are a single parent. Obviously that can intesify the fear...what would happen to my child if...
i heard somewhere that it didn't take any pain for you to come into this world, so why would it be right to have pain leaving it? (maybe a movie or a book- not sure) but i think it's an interesting take on the subject - the Buddhist believe that pain is immanent,a part of life- how you deal with it creates who you are- are you sick? has your doctor diagnosed you with a terminal illness? do you feel guilty in some way? (this is not the smart comment part) - are you depressed, abused, self inflicting etc....if no then the best thing you can do is live life to the fullest knowing that you have a daughter who depends on you everyday and will trust, beyond a doubt that you will truly guide her- if you answered yes, then seek someone that can help you overcome your paranoia, so that you can be the mother that you were meant to be-
thats called... **** ....... .... hyprocondriac look it up.
i dont know if theres meds for this or not.
nothing serious by the way
