my son will drown in swimming

my daughter will die in her sleep

my mother will collapse and die

my father will have a massive heart attack

I will get cancer

If I eat this, I will gain ten pounds immediately

If I eat or drink that, I will suffocate and die

If I breathe in too deep, my heart will stop

If I brush my teeth, I will choke

If I shower, I will drown

If I go to the park with my son, I will die in front of him

If my kids shower, they will drown

The best days of my life are gone

I will be alone forever

I will lose my kids

I am stuck this way always

I will get worse

My life is ruined forever

My life is over

I will be miserable when I turn 40 and up

My health will deteriorate by 40

I will die soon

My parents will die soon

My kids will die soon

My brother will die soon

I will never feel good about myself again

I will not be able to raise my kids

I will not be able to care for myself

I will not be able to care for my kids

My kids will hate me

I will mess up their lives

My life is messed up

I miss my past and want to go back and never age and die and that is the only way I will recover

Overwhelmed by life's responsibilities

never feel safe

I have no freedom to do what I want because I am the prisoner of fear

It's too late for me

I will never be able to take a trip with my children

I will never be able to celebrate holidays or birthdays with my children

I will never be free from worry

And many many more

How long have you been having these thoughts? Has something happened that would lead you to think like this.
Why do you feel its too late for example? We're all here to listen to each other you know.

I have many of these thoughts as well. When I was i the hospital I shared them with a mental health counselor and his words were, "Wow, you are tough on yourself."

He went on to help me come up with some positive affirmations, that although seemed like BS at first, are beginning to stick and crowd out some of those other awful thoughts.

Do you have a p-doc ad a T-doc? They can help. You don't deserve to live with these awful thoughts plaguing you.

it's impossible to overcome the awareness of aging and dying

it affects every second and every aspect of life

how in the world do I raise two kids when I am terrified more and more as each day passes

I wake up in such dread of the future

and every second I feel fear of something

everything triggers it
