Answer
I understand perfectly what you mean! I still get panicky when I think about it but it is worse if I am depressed or anxious about something else. I have always been manic depressive but have controlled it pretty well with various things over the years but when I had my son last year I had a massive manic phase and my mind would race constantly. I never slept and lost loads of weight and I couldnt stop thinking about dying! I almost gave myself panic attacks at times because I would obsess about it so much my heart would race and I would find it hard to breathe. Luckily because I was used to recognising the signs I went to the doctors and got treatment before I was too bad and now I am perfectly level headed and sane! brI think maybe you are suffering some sort of distress which is triggering these obsessive thoughts. Im not saying you are mental and certainly not as bad as I was but maybe if you take a moment to consider if anything in your life is causing you unnecessary stress then you might get to the route of the problem. If this does not help then go to your doctor and let them know you are having these obsessive thoughts. All I know is that you shouldnt be upset so much thinking about death and maybe not thinking about it so much.brI hope your fear goes away.
