Is it normal that i am so terrified of death?

Honey, I am so sorry that you feel this pain.
Death is a natural part of life and it is scary. Some people take up religion to cope, so people take medication to cope and for some people, it is non-issue. There is no way that you can just turn it off because it is what it is. People die. Sometimes people die even if they did everything right. But it's not your cross to bear right now and I am sorry that you are going through this.

We all worry about death at some point or another, you are not alone. But you need to accept that worrying about it will not help you. Death affects everyone, but you are alive now and we live in the here and now. Don't be afraid of death. Life is difficult. Death is easy.

Life is to be enjoyed! Death is not what you think it is if you're scared of it. You'll be okay and you are in Gods hands.

It is rlly normal...
I used to think about death all the time... But i wasnt afraid of it i wanted it... I was crossing the road hopping 4 a car to hit me so i can die quick and fast without more suffering... I even imagened that my soul is not part of me any more and Its seperate part of me now.... I was always sad and depressed and i was going to sleep hoping i wont wake up... But the a miracle happend! I gain love, hope and something to live for! My life changed, i was happy now! Remember one thing:" Is what you are living for worth dieing for?" cuz if its not than change smth!
Sry 4 long comm and bad english... :/
I wish u all the best and NEVER NEVER NEVER NEVER GIVE UP!
Cuz if i did....
I wouldnt writing this right now...

Read Elisabeth Kubler Ross' book on Death and Dying. Sounds like your dealing with some long term issues that were not resolved from your first experience of death and you are reliving the trauma.

Good luck, you can always call your local Mental Health Association and ask for information about therapy.

It is better for you to deal with this now as no one has figured out how to get out of this world alive.

It is absolutely normal. I personally had a kinda similar experience. It is all mental. The mind is something that is hard to cure. The more you try to stop thinking the more it stays in your head. So struggling with this everyday is normal because your trying too hard to let it go. Time really does heal all wounds. Just try not going too deep in your mind and maybe do something that you really enjoy such as listening to music before you sleep. Good luck

of corse its normal, everyone is, but its apart of lifeeeeeeeeeeee

You really need to get 'death' off your mind. Enjoy life, cheers.

oh by the way, you can always try some relaxing and soothing music. Try Paul Collier on Youtube. :) Hope this helps

I'm really sorry to hear this! to be honest, it is normal to feel this way. I've gone through thinking about death way too much, though I'm not scared of death. I sometimes actually wish to die! Not because like I have a bad life and don't enjoy it, but because I have , or at least I think I have a good relationship with God. I'm not sure if you are a spiritual/ religious person, but spirituality really helps in this way to calm you down. I know some people, including myself when I was younger, hate religion and anything supernatural. And if you do, it's okay, don't bother with it. Religion and spirituality are only good if they can make you calm and have inner peace. Otherwise, it's not worth it. One thing that I would think is a solution is to maybe take some Yoga classes, I know you might still think about death during sessions, but try it and see if it works. I'm glad that you have posted this here for help and I hope that you find a way to cope with it. I'm not sure if you exercise or not, but that could also help you, since alot of "feel good" hormones are released during exercise.

I hope you can find peace within you, I hate to refer people to counselors, but one thing that helps alot is talking about it. If you have close friends, try to talk to them about it hopefully it would make you feel better.

Good luck :)

Sometimes at night, I picture myself in my last moments of life, the image of me lying on a bed and taking my last breath. I'm saddened by the thought and afraid too.

I think that you should talk to a real therapist:) Even though analyzing life and death is certainly a normal part of the human experience, obsessing about it is not. You sound very depressed to me. Perhaps if you had medication you could see the full spectrum that life has to offer, instead of being stuck on the negative. Good luck!:)

Don't be so concerned about death that you forget to live. Yes, everyone's time in this world is limited so take it all in. Breath life. Breath it, eat it, and crap it out while you can. And if you need to talk to a doctor, do that to.

You need to watch Long Island Medium it has helped me a lot with this. Bottom line life goes on after we pass trust me, crossing over happens to us all and we get to be together with our lived ones safely. You are in good hands ok? Trust me! It is a part of the life experience we don't just disappear or go somewhere bad. We all go home when we cross over this is a learning experience. Enjoy life and just relax.

^^ I love that. Life is difficult, death is easy. It's so so true. You shouldn't be scared of death, if you constantly worry about it you can't enjoy your life. I know some people who actually look forward to the day the die. Life is hard, the world around us is falling apart :/ when we die there's no more pain, no more stress.
