I am 16 and extremely scared of death and the fact i become an adult in a year and a half mainly because of the fact no one knows what happens and also because i fear losing family and i just really want to always be close to the ones i love and this fear is so bad i cant even live life happy thinking about that its all going to end one day and it just eats me alive and makes me a sad person i just really wish this thought trail never started. and i believe and god but i wish it was strong enough for me to have the comfort of the concept of death. i really need help and advice. Thanks in advance. Yes i know i am too young to be worried about it but how can i stop?

I think most people are afraid of death. Yet we are exposed to it quite a bit. As long as you and your family are healthy they'll be around for a while.

I'm so sorry that you are being made anxious by your fear of death. I understand, because it's always been a fear for me, too. Sometimes such a deep fear can be caused by depression. Can you speak with your doctor and/or can you see a therapist?

It's normal what you feel. We all feel the same thing at some point. I sometime wake up in a panic attack when I think about death. But I cannot really do anything about it. You will learn to accept the things you cannot control.

I used to fear growing up too. But life does change and its nothing we can do about it. I would suggest calming down and focus on any positives you have in life right now. Then talk to a therapist about what you're feeling. They will steer you in the right direction! Good luck and take care!

I feel the same except im 17 and a half
I have no idea what im gonna do when i turn 18 and suddenly have a million more responsibilities and cant even handle life with my parents doing evrrything for me. I try to just ignore it
Sorry this post doesnt help at all but just wanted to give support youre not alone i think its normal to have anxiety surrounding the future and aging even for people without anxiety issues. Just tell myself in the long run it will be fine and once i am an adult with experience i will know how to handle things since problems always seem smaller looking back yknow

Enjoy life and make the most of it,I feel as though I wasted my life and spent too much time dealing with people that used me,I did not socialize with family for years,Now i am 3 times your age and feeling like time is running short,consider yourself lucky for being young,life has no guarantees.
