Really afraid of dying

[Chelseaburns24]

So I have this irrational fear of dying along with major anxiety so I don't have it easy, I am always thing how I'm not gonna be here one day and then my anxiety makes me think that every little thing I expense will kill me. I don't know Ochoa to cope with this and I'm tired of it. I'm only 18 and I know have a good bunch of years left but I don't know how to get my mind off of it please help.

I feel the same way

I fear death and I think I will have a heart attack any minute and die the thoughts are heart related.

I am 23 and it freaks me out so bad and causes panic attacks.

It's like it consume my thoughts and all I think about. I'm constantly checking my pulse to make sure my heart rate is fine

I do this too! We have to stop!

I often think, these thoughts are too strong to be anxiety and my brain is warning me that I will have a heart attack. Grrrrr!

[Chelseaburns24]

We indeed do have to stop. I try to remind myself that if I was gonna die from this feeling it would have happened by now

Yes, my brain tells me I will soon die of a heart attack/clot/failure. Then I think people do not get brain warnings monthes before a heart attack lol! I know I am being silly but it is hard to shift the feelings. How do you live with this?

Not very well. I try to put it out of my mind I'm only 18 so I know there really isn't anything wrong and it's all in my head

I have felt this same way before too.  It used to keep me up several nights a week fearing that I wouldn't wake up in the morning.  I once had acid reflux and seriously thought I was going to die of a heart attack because I didn't know it was acid reflux.  I also think I'm going to die of a blood clot if I start to feel a pain in my leg / arm.

I'm not sure if this will help you at all but when I told my mom about it she replied with that I didn't remember anything before I was born (true) so if I did die I wouldn't remember anything about it after.  I think of that little saying whenever I start to get afraid of dying and it has helped me in dealing with it.
