Answers:
I think just about everyone is scared of dying, especially at a very young age!. I know I use to be, when I was in the 6th grade I use to lay there at night and cry, my mom would ask me what's wrong and I'd tell her I didn't want to ever die!. But as time went on I got over it, most people are scared of dying because they're afraid of the unknown and where they will go after death!. That with anything I think in general, people are afraid of the unknown and what's going to happen!. I know I said I got over it, but I think the one thing I'm afraid of is not actually dying itself, but just the fact that I won't be around to protect my family as I do now, I'm actually the oldest out of my brothers and sisters!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Why wouldn't you be terrified of death!?
Everybody, everywhere should be terrified of death!.


And it IS something you can change!

People right now are in a very unique position compared to the other creatures on this planet and other people in the past!.

1!. We are aware that we are going to die!.
2!. We have the brains and the technology to do something about it!.

That's a big deal!


But, rather than everybody realizing our unique position and getting together to make something happen, we just continue to watch our loved ones die and then die ourselves!.

Religious people have been a major road block!.
Their successful push to stop stem cell research in the U!.S!. is one of the saddest, most disturbing and most damaging things I've ever seen!.

Death is a part of life but its not normal to obsess over it that way!. I personaly find ALOT of comfort in God and I have faith that my soul will rest in hevan and not "just rot away"!. We are givin our bodies to do great things here on earth and we need to make the most of everyday and if you have trouble doing that, you may benefit from just "talking" to someone!.Your not the only person who feels this way so try to relax,love,and live ur best life!.GOD WONT TAKE U UNTIL ITS UR TIME TO GO!!!!Www@Answer-Health@Com

Some theorize that every human has a fear of death!. That the loss of control over the inevitable death of oneself is the source of severe anxiety!. Most people turn to religion to relieve this fear since religion offers control and an afterlife!. Atheists learn to accept that death is inevitable and learn to control their fear through other ways!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Maybe because its something people just really dont know much about!. It may be more of a fear of the unknow!. I believe that is were faith comes in (whatever that may be) to help ease those thoughts!. It also may be that you cannot controll it/change it that makes you terrified!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

I hate life, but I've found that my life is very, very durable!. I've woken up when I really didn't expect to!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Don't worry i'm scared of dying too!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

well it sounds like you don't have a religion!. Religion tends to help most people, gives them something to look forward to!.
I have looked at death many times, I can't tell you not to be scared, I cant make the fear go away, but when the time comes for you to die you wont be afraid!. I dont know how it works, but it happens!. I was 13 years old when a drug addict stuck a gun in my face, in that moment your understand what is important, its like a weight comes off your shoulders!. Life happens as we forget the past and plan the future!.!.!. Someday it will go away!.!.!. dont worry!.!.!.!. Just breath!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

You are afraid because no one really knows what happens after you die!. I would feel a lot better about dying if I knew there was such a thing as reincarnation or heaven, but I don't!. There is no proof of anything!. Plus, no one knows how they will die and that can be very unnerving!. You also say that you are a very happy person, so it explains why you don't ever want to leave!. You love life and the people in it too much to leave!. I just think the idea of "what if" gets to you!. Just remember that everyone thinks about it and most are scared of it!. It's normal!. I think as you get older you'll grow to understand and accept it!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
