Fear of Death

[okatherine]

I suffer from over thinking and obsessive thoughts, and sometimes the idea of dying creeps up on me.
Also, if I ever hear of someone having cancer, I automatically think that I have cancer and that I'm going to die! It's awful..it's so overwhelming..

Same here I think about that all day , I just been trying to plan my all day , the night before , so I can keep my mind busy is so hard n scary whenever I think about that is so annoying I freaks me out .

Kind of anxiety defined. Alankay

That's my same anxiety. If someone has any illness, but especially cancer, I automatically think I do too. My mind obsesses over it until I'm so far gone that it feels impossible to see reality. I'm sorry you feel this way. It's a terrible debilitating feeling. Pm me anytime. I know your thoughts/feelings exactly.

I know dying is a part of life but for some reason I am terrified. My mom died at 53... Then ppl I knew really well died back to back to back at young ages. I get so upset thinking about it. I am a Christian and believe in Gods word but sometimes the fear overwhelms me. I can't plan or have happy thoughts without some illness or disaster creeping in my head ENOUGH ALREADY !!!!!!!!!!!

This right hear is my big thing. Every time I experience any sort of health related thing I automatically diagnose myself with some rare and fatal condition. I constantly worry I won't be around for my wife, I takes a hold of me so hard that I actually left a letter with my brother to opened just in case something happens. Sad thing is that I know that I am way out there with my fear but I still can't stop myself.

Same here. I get anxious over a lot, but nothing more than this one. I definitely lose it about cancer or tumors and the like, and if I see a spider (which I know have the rare potential to be deadly), sh*t hits the fan.

I also have this fear! I have a cold at the moment and that anxious voice always insists its something more! I'm driving myself insane! & the most horrible thing is, my body reacts to stress before my thoughts do which makes me feel out of control :( I'm trying to stay positive! Stay positive people!

Your not on your own with this thought. If someone is talking about it its like my ears home in on it. Even if i try and block it out i cant. Its like i take another thought, feeling or worry i take on board. I seem to home in on Heart attacks, strokes, Diabetes & cancer. I wish i could just be normal and live my life........!
