I vividly imagine my own death & constantly worry about bomb dropping.
56% Normal
7 Comments

I have such a horrid fear of death and every year it gets worse. Sometimes I sit in bed and go cold thinking about dying, I have to calm myself down and turn on the tv to put my mind elsewhere. I live in the US and every time I hear a plane overhead I stop and listen to make sure everything is ok; no bombs dropping nor planes crashing into anything. I look at my window at night and visualize an explosion lighting up the curtains for the brief moment until it kills me. I can't stop worrying about it and I don't know what to do. Part of me feels like I should turn to religion but I just can't believe.
Do you think it's normal?

Is anybody else around you freaking out about dying? Obviously not, so maybe you shouldn't be very worried either.

Fear is the motivation behind all imagination. All fear harks back to fear of death. You're just a little more normal than the rest of us. Channel your imagination into something. People who write horror and thrillers and stuff -- they're like you -- scared half to death.

i would say looking into religion is not a bad idea...try something more recent- the newest religion of the world is the bahai faith- i looked into it a bit, there are some wonderful explanations on death and dieing that may help soothe you or give you answers

Maybe in a past life you died from a bomb and whenever a you hear a plane you think about your death in the past life

Yeah as above I was going to say the same thing. Seriously I mean it, its probably likely that is how u died in the past.


Just as I have this phobia of sharks and dying in the ocean, I can feel it happening so vividly that I think I have died like that in the past. Its incredibly terrifying.
