Fear of Dying....

[ParanoidScotsman]

My Mum is 81 and has old age Dementia and one of my big fears is dying before her, im 35 and most times when i go to bed usually after i come in from the pub and with a kebab, i start to think and my anxiety goes high.."oh god, oh no what if i dont wake up,oh no" and i get really anxious:weep:. And i also feel like crying. I CONSTANTLY Worry about my mum.

What causes this fear of dying that makes your anxiety go sky high???

His is normal. Nearlly everyone on here is afraid of dieing. Is just comes with anxiety and I think because they know someone close is getting old or they have things to stay around for so it just sticks in your head.

Take me for example: I started to worry about dieing when I found out I was pregnant but I could deal with it then when I had my baby I was worried anout taki her on holiday and now nearlly every night I go to sleep thinkin what if I don't wake up' what if I die when I'm in the house in my own with her ans she is left along?'

Its part of anxiety with paranoia. I think its something everone goes therough really if they have something like I said they need to stay around for.

People think I'm not afraid of dieing but I don't want to. Whereas we say I'm terrified of dieing and I really don't want to. I actually think of ways o might die that would really hurt or the one thing that truly terrifies me is finding out I have a terminal illness.

You have to remember that alcohol is a depressent and that you only feel that way when you have been drinking. See what you feel like not drinking or not havin a lot.
