heart help: I get scared all the time of dying. - Help.com

omg i thought it was just me, i have that.

Ive been feeling that way too lately, i am sometimes unsure if there is life after death.

It happens to all of us. Still scary.

I know right? i was told im a hypochondriac I aint so sure, i get so scared!

I have anxiety attacks too. It’s one of the effects of Generalized Anxiety Disorder. Herb stores sell teas that are supposed to help you fall asleep. I find them helpful for whenever I feel extremely anxious about things that I shouldn’t be THAT worried about. Try chammomile.

wikipedia says: Hypochondriasis (or hypochondria, sometimes referred to as health phobia) refers to an excessive preoccupation or worry about having a serious illness.

Im scared too, but im more scared for my loved ones tbh, for me im more scared if il end up in hell, if it exists lol. stupid but yeah.

Herbal teas are really relaxing! you can even get them from tescos. It can also help to talk about your fears, and help you come to terms with them. Remember alot of people are scared too your not alone :)

My personal favorite is Republic of Tea Chammomile Lemon. It doesn’t taste like lemon and it contains Valerian. Valerian is an herb that has similar effects as Valium (coincidence about the similarities in the names). Celestial Seasonings Tension Tamer is also OK if you want a cheaper tea that you can get at Wal Mart. Sometimes it takes a couple of cups to calm down if your feeling particularly anxious. They both are also helpful if your anxiety is disturbing your stomach.

I used to be scared of dying a lot too. Now I think there are worse things to fear like torture for one. Why fear something we have no control over? there is no good reason to. It will not prevent it from happening.All it does do is take away the present moment we can be using to enjoy things.

This is a common symptom of anxiety. I know this because I suffered from anxiety and got a lot of help from reading a simple book. Get anxiety info on the web or the library. Once you start to understand anxiety and how to control it, it won’t control you anymore. On a somewhat related note, I saw a movie called “What the Bleep do We Know” which goes into quantum physics and the true nature of reality. If you belieive in science more than religion it may give you some comfort that there really is much more to our existence than we can even imagine.

Super advice motto :)
