Does anyone else get bouts of thantophobia? It comes and goes for me but since I hit 30 for whatever reason I have had this problem it ebbs and flows but it's nearly always there. I don't have any physical ailments that I know of but I'm just scared of dying sometimes. I think more than anything I fear dying having lived a pointless existence, or having done more damage than healing in my life. I try to comfort myself with the thought that we are all in the same "boat" but still there is something very personal about contemplating one's own death.

Definitely! I used to have a pen pal (way back in my teens lol) who mentioned something you might like to look up called ‘equanimity’ - it’s basically what you achieve when you’ve made peace with the idea of dying. I’m definitely not there yet, though.

This is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.|
