i am terrified of death i need help?!


Question: I am terrified of death i need help?
i cant explain i just saw a story of a kid who had an enlarged heart and died during a basketball game and i almost had a panic attack just too know that he was a perfectly fit kid and now he doesn't exist he is just gone and that could happen to me at any time. i am not scared of the pain of death or the actual act of dying i am sacred of not existing of being gone forever of not being able to see what happens to the world what life is like in 200 year. i cant handle it i am getting terrified just typing this. i am only 18 what am i going to be like when i am 50 or 60 and close to death?? is this some sort of mental disease? what can i do to limit my fear of death??t affects my life greatly i drive as little as possible cause even if i am the best driver i could die cause of someone elses stupidity. i have missed 5 family vacations because i am to scared to get on the plane. and despite my doctor repeatedly telling me it is unnecessary i get a check up every two months for things like cancer prostate cancer to check my health and all of that ****.

what should i do?? should i see a counselor??

Answers:

you need to get a therapist.



have fun? you shouldnt fear death the rest of ur life you should live your life i had the same problem but im like im lucky to have life and even when you do if u believe in God you get something better like a big house and ****



I used to have the same exact problem and I'm only 15, I used to wake up screaming in the middle of the night cuz I would have dreams that I died or everyone I loved died but as I got older I learned to exept that death is just part of life and ask yourself this question, " do dead people know that they're dead?" no they don't so you kind of have to just let it go and just think about living while you are still alive and not spending everyday of your life worrying about death and just enjoy life!!!!

My personal problems???



dude me too. Ever since I can remember i've been terrified of dieing. I don't really remember my elementary days, but what i do remember is being afraid. Trying not to think of death, or i would start panicking and cry in bed. NO ONE knows how absolutely scared I am.(not even my parents--never noticed i cried myself to sleep O_o or best friends) sure i've told them but they don't know i'm at this extreme.since High school my fear has drastically fallen, and i'm not so emotional about it. But recently i've been trying to avoid thinking about it if i'm alone because then my heart starts beatin hard, and i feel like crap i feel so horrible, like theres nothing to live for (which doesn't make sense) and that scares me even more. I've almost started crying recently again. Like you i'm not afraid of the pain of death, but being nonexistant (what happens? does anything exists? i become nothing? remember nothing? never become anything again? is this all a dream?---then I start panting) i think i'm afraid of what come afterwords to. even though i go to church, i got confirmed, took the test, studied , ect, do i reeally believe in that? i want to but do i really? I DON"T KNOW. if there is an after world for me, will it be HELL? while writting this i feel really bad questioning my faith, i ussually avoid doing this too, because i always end up connecting it to death. GOD--->death is that bad? and it not death--->eternal life but death--> hell and i can't help it. My other fear is growing up... but thats a whole other day...( currently my 16 bday is right around the corner, THIS SUCKS.sorry i didn't answer you question... hmm yes, you need help (no offense, i mean i want some too)Maybe itll help, do you know where this fear came from, maybe it was an traumatic event, or something small could of triggered it and your imagination make it grow.

me myself and i
this past February I've been in a car crash once and almost in one at least 5 times, excluding the times my dad has driven alone without me. and i've become even more paranoid. the weird thing is, it hasn't been our fault at all but always the other driver...



Bro i'll advice you that islam is cure of all the problems in the world. You can see thousands of miracles in glorious Quran which will help you to get rid of evils in life and will guide you in proper way. Learn about prophet Muhammad s.a.w he has given cure of all these problems that you have. There is always a good prescribed method in islam for every problem you face in life
