I would be laughing and everything, and then all of a sudden, my mind will say "im going to die someday * and my emotions change

[xcooolx]

i don’t want to forgot my amazing memories. i WANT to see my dead loved ones.
i don’t want to be in a state of un-existence
i don’t want to be forgotten

Death is not problem . the mystery after death is problem . ' What will happen to me ??' I think this every night

[starriestars-]

...I'm a teenager and I'm having this phobia since past few months...it's abt my parents...i fear loosing them every moment...i can't sleep at night...whenever I hear any thing which happens to anyone I just can't control my brain 😣

I have anxiety I just cry every night just thinking about it

[sosogigi]

It's actually about me. I'm terrified of getting older and dying someday, absolutely frightened. I've had this fear since I was a little kid, I remember crying at the age of 5 or 6 and telling my mum : "I'm going to die someday, it's going to hurt and it'll be terrible"
I still have this kind of crisis from time to time and I can never calm myself down...

Multiple people in my family died when I was young when I was around 8-11 I started thinking it was my fault and always blamed myself but since multiple people died in my family I had crippling anxiety about death I always cry and breath really heavy when I think about it but I am now 13 at 12 I told my mamma everything and helped me through it she explained a lot of it to me and now I go to her for everything just remember you are loved!

Sorry to say, but I am glad I am not the only one to feel this way. I am afraid of dying and not existing anymore. I think about it all the time, probably more than most people. I have seen a lot of death from a young age. Seeing family members, friends, pets, and famous people you grew up watching die wears on you.

This is a great perspective. It is the anxiety that is problem

[bellaxmayx]

i’m so scared to die. it will be nothing ever again.

[NatLeRat]

I’m afraid of letting go of my anxiety because it feels like I’ve given up once I accept death. I feel like if I keep thinking about it I can figure out a way to not die

[Kcook]

I have really bad death anxiety and nothing is helping. I can’t live live being meaningful it sucks.. but god gave me my live. And I will be thankful. 🕊️

I just don’t like the fact knowing that one day, my parents, my sister, my family, my friends will all die and be erased from this earth. It’s just sad and depressing and I won’t be able to live without them. And personally, I’m not a believer of heaven or hell so i just think when you die you will be in a pit of darkness for all of eternity, even when the universe ends. (I almost had a panic attack writing this lol)

If this comments gains enough traction I’ll create a group chat so no one has to be alone dealing with this we can all talk about our thought in a safe environment and help each other cope through socialisation and community effort

Thank u man u really opened my eyes i feel better now

i think i have thanatophobia. one night i was just lying in bed about to go to sleep and the sudden thought that i was going to die soon came over me, out of nowhere. for the past couple days ive had this uneasiness in my stomach. i’ve have multiple panic attacks, which i’ve never experienced before. im constantly worried about my health, even though im perfectly healthy. im nauseous, which has also decreased my appetite. i randomly have shortness of breath, which feels worse due to the fact that i have asthma. and ive developed this dreading feeling that my close family members are going to die soon. i’ve cried multiple times, and have talked to my parents about this feeling and they say it may be a form of anxiety. the thing that confuses me the most is that i have never viewed death this way before. i always knew in my head that i would die someday, but it has never scared me as much as it had been lately. and my parents have tried to cheer me up about it, but my head turns anything happy into a negative thought. i’ve always had trouble with overthinking, whether it’s with my homework or wondering if my friends truly like me, and this habit of overthinking is really taking the spotlight now. i just can’t seem to shake this feeling that im going to die soon or a close family member or friend is going to. im young too, and up to now ive been living my life happily and grateful. i love my life, and i dont want to stop living it. i think its just the thought that i could die at any moment that scares me. i feel as if i haven’t fulfilled my life enough to die. my dad said that maybe i could go to the doctor soon, which makes me feel relieved but also even more anxiety at the same time. part of me is glad because of this belief that i do have thanatophobia and i can get help. but the other part of me thinks that maybe i am gonna die and going to the doctor is gonna make me find that out. ive looked up the symptoms for thanatophobia and what ive been feeling fits every description. but i’ve also looked up the cause for it and i can’t think of any trauma that could have caused this. i dont really know the point of me commenting this lol, but if anyone has any tips on how to calm down from these thoughts i would really appreciate it, im having trouble trying to look on the positive side. i think just simply reading these comments and discovering that im not alone has kind of helped. anyways, any help or tips is appreciated ❤️

I don’t wanna be forgotten
I wanna stay in this world

[thepablorz]

Interesting perspective. Kind of obvious in hindsight. Thanks!

Here's another thing:If you feel the fear, you are alive. You are not going to die in that moment, for you are alive.
