Answer:
We all go through this phase of being terrified of death. When you get older, you realize that it happens to everyone and you can't stop it from happening. I look on it as an adventure waiting to happen, hopefully a great one. I just don't want the pain part of it !
we live to die. get over it
Me too, hell's gonna be hard to get used to.
so am i. i dont want to get infected or anything. if i get blood taken im like hey wheres your gloves. at the dr i ask did you cahnge this paper on teh bed? well ill do it to be sure. im always like babe you better not cheat on me because i dont want aids.
I don't even think about. I just believe I will live forever.
There is no need to fear, it is inevitable. It will probably be like falling asleep permanently.
It's a common anxiety... maybe most common. You're not going to believe this but you need to exercise and get around a lot of people. Every day. It will pass in a few months, if not sooner.
And stop going to the doctors.
You know what you need? You need someone that you feel really cares about you. Instead of hoping they care, become an extrovert and attract people to you that cares. You don't need one that cares a lot as you think, you need many that cares a little.
Everyone is afraid of death in some way. Remind yourself that you're young. Unless you are an extremely risky person you will live a long eventful life. You might want to talk to your doctor about anxiety. Tell him some of your symptoms.
What's to be afraid of? You live, then one day when you least expect it...one of hundreds of complex procesees in your body fails. Either quickly and painlessly or slowly and in sheer gut wrenching agony, you finally lose all awareness of your existence.
