Does anyone else obsess over fear of dieing?

yes and no.

I have a thing where I'm scared of dying suddenly

like: walking across the room, suddenly drop down dead.

reach out to grab something, suddenly drop down dead

listen to something, and that will be the last thing ever

so in a way, yes

though I'm not actually scared of death itself.
it's something i've thought about, and it's something that happens to all of us

yes, 1 day when we don't have what we enjoy, it will be scary (in my case, music), but I like to think of the circle of life (call me weird, but it's true!)

you end your time in the circle of life, but the world continues (I must say, the thought of the world continuing after i'm gone is a scary thought), not because i'm important or anything, but because I've always been bad with endings and stuff. I find it hard to imagine places or what ever continue regardless of if i'm their or not.

I also believe in a life after death though. I don't believe you just crumble away

death.. difficult subject, and so complex

but their are some of my thoughts

welcome to PC, by the way.

was meant to say that before

Thank you.... I guess what scares me the most is dieing and leaving my kids alive without me.... What will happen to them? My daughter's just like me and people have been rejecting me my whole
Iife.

I am scared of death too. But I think I am more scared of the suffering that happens before it.

I used to fear the idea of death itself. But pondering about it, I think I fear to die before I have the chance of living my life. I also fear the physical suffering that comes before it as mentioned above.

Sometimes yes. I'm more scared of dying without having lived, if that makes sense. Like there are so many places I want to visit, things I want to do, books I want to read. How fast life goes scares me sometimes, like how there aren't enough hours in a day to do everything I want to do.

yes that makes sense

actually another big fear of mine

getting to an old age with nothing to show for it

getting to like 50, looking back on my life and thinking.. well, what did I do. absolutely nothing

i'm now 30, and have not even had half the experiences a 12/ 13 year old might have had by now (even a young teenager)

another sad thing is, not actually knowing what I want to do, how I want to live

I mean their's all this concern about not living, having nothing to show for my life, but all I have on my bucket list is to milk a cow (something that is, actually, very little)

and with all the machines and technology these days..

can I add that I thought a cow was the size of a small hamster

that's how much I actually know about cows (well, know about anything)

i've never even visited a seaside which is embarrassing, at least to me

I hear ya and thank you for helping. I hope to meet some you in chat..... I spent 35 years on meth. I don't want to die with nothing to show either..... I'm sober now but I'm thinking that's where the fear comes from.... I know I'm lucky to be alive

I would love to accomplish my dream and live a fulfilling life with kids and hubby and a dog and a nice house, and a career I love. And then I will accept the visit from the unknown, so for now I ask him to leave me alone and help me accomplish those. The sentence I like is we will not go out of that life alive so better accept the idea of death.

I giggled (yes, giggled) at your title and yes, men giggle apparently.

On another note, I can relate. Often, I have panick attacks that feel like heart attacks and then the fear of dying appears.

Haven't found a solution yet.
