My husband thinks about dying all the time?!

Best Answer - Chosen by Voters

Yeah, it's probably the other way around, he has panic attacks, and those make him think he's going to die. Hey, those panic attacks look pretty miserable and debilitating. It's not strange for one afflicted to wonder "can I go on like this?"

Time to break open the piggy bank and pay for a visit to the psychiatrist. Meds will reduce the severity of the anxiety. He also needs psychotherapy, as Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy is quite successful in reducing the symptoms of panic disorder (for the client's that see therapy through).

Hate to say it, but you are going to have to put your foot down and insist that he gets help. He's more likely to get help if you go with him, too.

WOW... ok, first step is counseling.... NOW.... second, diet, what is he eating, and is he doing drugs? second... talk talk talk... tell him you love him, walk, talk, be active.... once counseling is going also get him into a shrink..... maybe get check him into a local medical center... when someone talks of dying you can have them committed to ensure they WILL not hurt themselves.. Bottom line, do something. best of luck to you.

past experiences with family members

Many others think about this also,they just hide it.
I lost my best friend in a fire 2 weeks ago.I think about death and how life is mostly a joke.
I also most times count on GOD to get me through.If i die tomorrow,
who cares? either i will know NOTHING or be in heaven.Medicine can not take reality away..

He needs some professional help, call your local hospital and get a referral for a good psychiatrist, and make him an appointment, hes way to young to be thinking like this.

get him to see a therpist, or the doctor so he can get anti depression pills or sumthing stronger.

sounds like hes going to be suicidal, so best result go seek professional help.

May you read this article in that site ? I think it can really help you

I am going to say some things the others haven't. Sometimes when a spouse or close person is around death all the time, it can effect the people they associate with as well. I am not saying his depression is your fault, at all. It is more likely you attracted to you a depressed person, perhaps this is how you feel as well. People who are into mental health, telepathy, ghosts, and the like say it is possible to transfer those feelings to others around.
Mental health experts of all kinds say it is better to have clear personal emotional boundaries than get caught up in others , pain and misery so much that it brings you down, you will 'burn out', you will not last long at the job, yet you can still maintain empathy and concern and do a good job.
You and your husband could seek out a good therapist, and you should ask around the professionals you know, to help both of you get and maintain better professional boundaries and he can learn to protect himself from your work , and you both deserve to bring positiv e good feelings and experiences into your lives.
All anyone has is this moment. I am spending this moment with you. That is all. When I leave this message, I am letting go of it, even though you may come to mind after answering this for you and I wish you well.
What I am saying is you both need to take charge of your right to happiness and get going on some real planning on how to bring more of that into your lives.
Joy and happiness are the purpose of real life, not that we are 'remembered' for anything , but how we live the journey.
How much happiness and love did we give.
If he has lost perspective of this, and you are getting too involved with dying patients, then you both deserve to lighten up and learn how to be happier and have happy times together.
A requirement of your job is not to live each of your patients death, it is to help them die easier, and pain free, and go home and have a happy life with your spouse and family.
Get some additional help for yourself, training, and get your husband the depression help he deserves.
Even if you go natural , you could combine it with eft by gary craig, he gives out a free self help version that is really effective in many ways.
If you don't believe what I said above, then know that it is a well known fact that if you hang out with sad or depressed people , you get sad and depressed. Whether you believe in ghosts, or mental telepathy or not.
Create a happy life. All we have is now. Be happy.

Hes depressed by the look of it. some people actually lack the the happy feeling we get naturally and need to work harder in life to get the same feeling the rest of us have. (i forgot the name for it) i could say many other things as i suffer from it myself but all i will say is tell him to speak to his gp and see what they can give him in terms if medication they have pills you can take that allow your body to gain a happier feeling about life. it may even just be a stage hes going through that will pass in time but just in case go see the doctor or physc. sorry for bad typo and i wish him good luck.

it may sound like bull **** but im serious google it or something

Well, diet, exercise and high anxiety will do that.. I have had that i'm going to die, what happens when i just die. Why live anymore if there is nothing to live for or the why live if i'm going to hurt others later.. lol.. I've been there and honestly if he can't let go on his own or with you talking with him than he may need to see a psychologist/therapist. Honestly he isn't thinking about how many years he still has until he dies. He also doesn't seem to think there is anything after he dies. I'm not a religious person but I try to be. I try to believe there is an afterlife so perhaps he could also talk with a chaplain/priest or something of the like and perhaps they can help him. The best thing for him is to talk and get the help he needs. If you cannot help him with talking than you may need to encourage him to seek help with one of the above. A doctor could even maybe refer him, he may need a diet change, exercise. You don't know until you find the root of it all and work forward. Life is worth living, and you should tell him that.
