Fear of Death... Help!

 Ever since I was a little girl, I have had a fear of death and dying. Back then I would be terrified for my parents to leave on vacation and for me to stay over night at friends houses in fear that something might happen. It has escalated to the point to today where I think "well today might be the day, driving to.... I might die this way" or "oh I have a chest pain, I'm probably going to have a heart attack". I also look for "signs". For instance, I am getting married next month and my granny bought me an antique plastic bride and groom cake topper. When I went to get it from the car someone had stepped on it and the brides head was cut off. My fiance laughed at me for thinking anything about it, but those are the things that scare me and gives me panic attacks. It's hard for me to move pass my fear of this... does anyone else have the same problem?

YES--- you are not alone.....

Hey Kiddo.... I just want to let you know you are not alone in this.  I used to be terribly the same... afraid at every turn in my life of death.  I have overcome this only recently.  But fear not... You can overcome.  I need to think about this a bit... I wont be able to respond to it for a couple of days as i am quite busy with other obligations... and I want to respond to this more clearly but I also want to think about it and help you find a path thru it...

 

SO for now... know that you are not alone.  There is a way out of feeling like this everyday...  Have hope that you arent the only one who feels this way and that one person who used to feel that way... has made it out. Therefore... It is not the end of the world for you.  YOU CAN get past this...  

 

Write me an email in a couple of days... just say hi... you wanted me to write.....   That way I know you are interested in hearing what I have to say.....    

 

 

In the meantime... Ill be thinking about this.  You are going to be ok.  OK?

 

PS... Did you glue its head back on?  Wow... I hope you can do something to be able to use it anyway!!!!!

I hear you I hear you

Sending you a hug It will be ok, you will see.

Just a thought...

I think everyone does that to some extent but severe anxiety and panic usually has a underlying source to it.  You may already know what that source is just maybe never wanted to address it.  Just something to think about...my thoughts are with you..Good luck and congrats on your upcoming wedding.
