Hello everyone! It's been awhile. Just checking in hope all is well with everyone. I still check in from time to time to see how everyone is coping with beast called ANXIETY. My anxiety is pretty well maintain most days but I still often think about death which is very bothersome. How can you live a positive life thinking about your last days everyday. I just wanna live and enjoy life without death begin on my mind constantly. I also think I have a gift. I've been a dreamer since I've been alive and I often see love ones in dreams after their passing and it always feel real and I always feel peace and love when I wake. This is called (visitation dreams). But if I feel these things and know that death is not the end, then why I'm so afraid? confused

Welcome Back 2serious,

I'm happy to hear your anxiety is being maintained. That is great news!!

As far as the fear of dying, I would say most people fear death some more then others but in the end I think everyone experiencing this at one time or another. I know I fear death and on some days it is all I can think about and I make myself crazy doing so. I think saying a mantra will help you, something like. I am healthy and am not dying today, today I will live my life to the fullest. If that one doesn't work or fit, think of one yourself and say it every time you think about dying. :)

Again, glad to hear your are doing well regarding you anxiety that is an encouragement for those of us still suffering. :)

Hi 2Serious,

Glad to hear things in general have been going well...may this continue to be so!:)

As far as the preoccupation with thoughts of death...we do have a book in the Resources that touches on this issue. It is a self help book on health anxiety, but has a chapter dealing with the fear of dying. Let me know if you are interested and I'll post the link.

Keep posting and we'll keep you in support!
