Death anxiety help!!?
Answer:
Hi, it sounds very much like you are suffering from an anxiety disorder and/or panic attacks. I used the following steps to rid myself of anxiety (so did my sister who had the same ‘death fear’ as you).
1. Breathing properly will control your panic. As soon as you notice the signs of anxiety, check your breathing: breathe in slowly through your nose pushing your tummy out (to the count of 5 or so). Breathe out slowly and for a bit longer (to the count of 7 or so) through your mouth. Do not breathe rapidly or shallowly (in the chest area). This will soon restore the balance of oxygen and you will feel a lot better. Once you start practising, it’ll become second nature.
2.Also I would really advise a course of Cognitive Behavioural therapy. CBT is proven to be the most effective thing for panic attacks and anxiety. It takes a bit of work, but if you put the effort in it’s super effective. You can speak to your doctor about doing a course, or you can take a course for free online at: http://www.livinglifetothefull.com/elear... I recommend you start this today!
3. I also do relaxation exercise tapes (progressive muscular relaxation). They really help if you practise often enough. This site has instructions on how to do it without the tapes (and other useful info): http://www.cci.health.wa.gov.au/resource...
Best of luck to you, hope you feel better soon.
babe u sound depressed and u could b havin a panic attack u seriously need 2 talk 2 someone, try talkin 2 the samaritans or a good friend, keep ya chin up mate ya way 2 young 2 die.
chill ooouuuttt...idk whats been happening but i wouldnt trip about the whole thing...if u r really predestined to die this week(which i highly doubt), worrying about it wont do anything just chill dude
it think it is all in your head.. you should see a therapist
i am the same way. i have delt with the same problems. you just need to stop obsessing about it. Dont think about it. Go out, laugh and have fun! Most people do not know when they are going to die, so if you think you have a feeling that you time is coming, just think about how silly that sounds and tell yourself i have got all my life to live and so many things to acomplish! just live like you have all the time in the world!
hope i helped! good luck and dont worry!
It sounds to me like you have an anxiety disorder. Constant fear of death when you have no reason but a "feeling" and holing up in your room and not wanting to go out are signs of anxiety. I think you need to see a therapist and get some counseling before you get worse. I sincerely doubt you are going to die soon. Talk to someone older that you trust about your feelings and ask their advice on getting some professional help. Anxiety can make things feel very real when they aren't. Best wishes.
This happens to people, especially young people. I felt it too when I was young. I don't know what causes it.
It's not easy to be 17. You have a lot of pressures at that age and you are just learning to deal with them. There's no help for it except to grow out of it. Which you will!
Meanwhile, I think the best thing you can do is to concentrate on life. Think about things you like to do. Get out with your friends and do fun stuff. Get outside and get some fresh air. I mean school is important, of course, but fun stuff is also important, you have to learn to balance them.
If it gets really bad, you might ask about getting some counselling. In the meanwhile, getting out, talking to people, doing fun things will help. Staying in your room is the WORST thing, it just makes you feel worse.
U needs to stop thinking like this it really can make you sick. Just face the fact you are going to die one day and cant stop it. Has to happen. Do you really think you are the only one that deals with this? There are billions of people on this planet and we all are going to have to die someday. I always tell myself well it doesnt have to happen now. So be safe.
death of the body is a certainty for us all it is simply the timing that is different -but fear is optional.
if indeed it is your time to go then why are you wasting it inside hiding? if indeed it is your time hiding will not change or delay it.
as cheesy as it sounds...death is only the beginning, be at peace.
Dying a virgin is NOT the worst thing in the world, not even close.
if you knew that some one you loved was going to die( but they were unaware) and you could do nothing to stop it would you avoid them or try and enjoy every moment you had left with them?
fear is often selfish, it is often just a reflex. do you think a baby wants to come out of the womb? to be ripped from everything it has known? maybe yes maybe no but whats done is done and cannot be undone so walk the path you have been given and have faith that God sees, loves and watches out for each and every one of us.
Sounds like you have convinced your brain of this. Now tell yourself you are going to live to be 100 and you are healthy. It will happen.
