Please Please Please!!!?!
Question:
Please Please Please!!!?
I'm super afraid of dying...I think about it all the time! Am I the only one??? How can I stop thinking about it?
Answers:
I think the question to ask would be why are you thinking about it all the time? Most people have a healthy aversion to dying...it's called the "survival instinct." It's part of our nature. And most of us find death uncomfortable even though it really is a natural part of life. However, to be obsessed by the topic isn't normal.
Has someone close to you died recently (within the last couple of years)? Have you completely grieved the loss and processed the feelings from that grief? If not, please find a good grief counselor who can work with you.
If a death has not occurred and you are this anxious, I'd still go see a therapist. It's not normal to be this obsessed and there may be more going on that you aren't consciously aware of. For your own sanity and peace of mind, allow an objective outsider to help you find the triggers and work with you to lessen the severity of this anxiety for you.
