Fearing Death

Melancholia2000 October 14th, 2017

Lately I've grown a irrational fear of death. I think it's been growing for a while. I have no idea how to over come it. What should I do?

it is just a part of anxiety. try thinking of how unlikely that mode of death may be. or think of the amount of times you have been in the same situation and nothing bad has happened.

personally i find these stategies to help

We all fear it normal. I think it becaue we fear what we will miss the most. I feel this way myself and it was getting bad when I was eleven year and by time i was thirteen it was so bad I was afraid that I wouldn't be alive in the next five minute. Are you under any stress lately that is making feel this way? The best thing that we could do is live our life to the fullest. I hope this help you out in some way.

@Melancholia2000 I believe everyone has this fear at some point, it's just up to the person to control their thoughts. And what do you mean by irrational fear?

I think every person has a fear of death at some point of their lives, It's only normal. It's what you make of you life and living with no regrets, as gandalf would say "All you have to do is to decide what to do with the time given to you.". Personally I fear not making the best of the life I have and not turning all the stones I plan to.

I read something that said We cling to life, because most of us never enjoy life in its totality, so we become afraid of death, which is the root cause of all our fears.
