I don't usually have phobias, but for some reason I can't get rid of this irrational fear.

For some reason, I think I'm either going to die through a car crash or suicide. The suicide isn't the weird part, the car crash is.

See, I was born on July 1st and I have borderline personality disorder. Who shares those same traits? Princess Diana. (well actually people don't know for sure if she had BPD, but there were definitely symptoms) She died in a car crash. My parents almost named me Diana. My last name is Young. If they had named me Diana, people would probably end up calling me Di. I would then be Di Young. Guess who died young? Princess Diana.

I know it's kind of odd, and kind of stupid, but it really scares me sometimes!

I was born on july 1st too and I also have a slight fear that I'll die in a car crash or one day I will actually commit suicide. However I don't have BPD I have bipolar. Our similarities are strange tho lol

This sounds a little bit like OCD.

Hi,
Death is inevitable. We can't bunk it. Nevertheless, survival is human instinct. And I think that the fear of death is the most basic driving force of humanity. It's my greatest fear by a landslide. If me nor my loved ones nor friends could ever die, I think I'd exist with happiness for complete eternity.

If I may, that really sounds like a paranoid delusion to me, although apparently not fully fledged. I had several paranoid quasi-delusions, for instance I believed my mom would die when I was 22, and also I thought the universe was out to get me and would succeed in killing me after first taking away everything I loved.

I'm not sure how to treat delusions except through rational analysis. If you want I can try to help you with yours although I don't know if it will be successful. Pm me if you are interested.
