I am 49. 18 years with this obsessive relentless fear of aging, disease, dying. Impending doom and dread the future constantly. No effective treatment or solution. I tried everything. I simply do not want to ever age and die. My mind just will not allow it. I do not want my looks to fade and they already have. This fear never will let me live. I wish I could end my life.

I'm sorry you are struggling with this. I hope that, in some way, you may yet find a path to inner peace.

I'm so sorry you're feeling like this, @darkfeary.....If you feel comfortable sharing, do you perhaps have a therapist you could talk to about these fears?
