Why do I always think I'm dying?

It may possibly be caused by a panic attack? Or maybe you show signs of anxiety, you might need professional help for a diagnosis for your problem.

I personally have severe anxiety, and also constantly feel that way I'd consult your family doctor!

I'm scared of getting old.

Having to deal with too many things at a time over an extended period and feeling helpless to cope can give us the feeling we are dying inside. Depression and high anxiety can cause this feeling too.

I too struggle with this on a daily basis. I don’t understand it much myself except its triggered for me by my anxiety. I know that it is awful and scary and seems so big but just remember your body knows what it’s doing. It knows how to take care of itself, which for those with control issues can be a problem. We are just passengers on a multifunction, constantly busy ride. Just remember to breathe and talk to your doctor if you feel the feelings are getting out of hand!

Chances are you are not dying. In fact chances of anyone dying unexpectedly are literally 1 in 100 million in many instances. With that said, sometimes it feels like something is wrong with you which is what will ultimately lead to death and while this is a very valid concern for every single human in the world, I could venture to guess that some of what you are feeling is a symptom of anxiety. Even aches and pains can be attributed to stress and anxiety. Go to your annual physical, enjoy life and try to find the root cause of this feeling, which chances are, will not kill you.

There is a variety of reasons but it could be a combination of stress and anxiety. Your stress over dying may keep you in a vicious circle of having physical symptoms which makes you think you are dying. For me this made me realise i was a hypochondriac which I learn was linked to OCD and a lot of other anxieties. It is also best to talk to a doctor or a professional about these worries. Feel free to message me if you ever get very anxious over your health.

Sometimes when things are very hard to go through, there is this feeling I have like I'm slowly dying. Yes, it might sound silly but I feel like I'm not living life the way I should and not making the people around me happy either. I don't always feel this way obviously but when I do, it hurts. Knowing that you can do so much better with your life and not doing it makes me feel mad and disappointed with myself. I try so hard to start doing better things but sometimes they don't work and people still judge me no matter how hard I try. But that's ok. Step by step I'll learn more and start having better things in my life. For example, I entered this page first as a member then as a listener and that's one of the best things I could do.

I always think I'm dying because I am mortal. I don't see this as a bad thing. I just have to cope.
