I feel like I'm going to die soon?!


Question:

I feel like I'm going to die soon?

Lately I have been feeling like I'm going to die soon for no reason. Something is telling me i'm going to die in a month. I don't know why I feel this way. I talked to my dad about it and he said its just anxiety (I have been known to have anxiety and panic attacks) and dont worry about it. I think this is a mental illness, (I'm not at all a mental) what do you think? if you think it is a mental illnes, then what kind? Also please tell me if you have had these feelings before. Please help me or give me advice.


Answers:

I think you are having a realization of your own mortality....that one day you will die...as so shall we all.

That realization can cause anxiety, as it has in me.
Did someone you know die recently? Of course, it doesn't have to be that triggered the feeling. There is so much death in the news, its unbelievable.

The concept that we will die is very difficult to grasp, since in our culture, we have this underlying belief that nobody talks about, that some of us are going to beat fate and not die.

If you are going to die, there is nothing you can do about it, so you may as well get on with life and live as fully as possible.

The best way to live is as if today will be our last day...difficult to do. So maybe you were given a gift and will learn to live more fully!

If it continues, and you continue to feel this, it would be a good idea to get professional help. Perhaps talk to someone at school who can direct you to somebody.
