Answer 1

I was the exact same way! fearing death everyday...it was horrible...but, I hate to sound like a broken record, but its because you don't have Jesus.

He took away all my pain and sorrow that I had (and believe me I had a lot more than just fearing death)

it says in the Bible that Perfect love casts out fear. Jesus is the perfect love...

In the end its still your choice to go with him or not...all I can do is tell you what I know and have felt.

I hope you make the right choice...it sure helped me.

Answer 2

I dont want to be one of those people that try to make you feel better by saying, I know what youre going through. People tell me that c**p and I never believe it because they cant know that they have gone through the same thing as me because they dont know what it is Im going through. But your question interested me because when my gramma died a couple weeks ago, I thought to myself 'Death is a *****, but if I live, Im just looking forward to death. But if I dont want to live, Id have to go down the death path anyway.' It might not make a whole lot of sense the way I put it, but it made alot more sense in my head lol but Im not an expert so all I can say is just go visit one and see if they have any way of explaining. Hope I helped some.

Answer 3

Death is a natural occurance, Change is a natural occurance, Sickness is a natural occurance, Old Age is a natural occurance, Birth is a natural occurance.

There is no point your becoming obsessed with death as it is a natural event that happens to all living things and no matter whether you are good-looking or not, rich or poor, young or old, sick or healthy, happy or unhappy death can occur at just about anytime.  It is just something that we all need to deal with as we go about our daily lives.

Answer 4

You may have a chemical imbalance, i would seek help, and maybe a therapist, now death is an irrational fear, it happens to us all, and don't worry about school, im not worried about going back in 2 weeks, and im full of anxiety any other time, take a long breath and realize how irrational it is, and best of luck

Answer 5

If you're not living, how can you be afraid of death?

Answer 6

I have gone through this and now i am fourteen. In sixth grade it all started. I was afraid of dying almost every minute of my life. If things started becoming good, i thought i didn't deserve it and i would probably die. I was afraid of growing old and falling asleep at night. I was scared of trying new things or driving. TOTAL anxiety. I would cry a lot and have horrible headaches. I became very skinny because i would never feel like eating. One day i told my mom everything and she immediately made a doctors appointment. I was sent to a psychologist or something and i was put on anxiety meds.

Now i am fine i am happy and healthy but sometimes i still think of one day dying. but it's not so bad. I know that i am going to live a fulfilling life.

I recommend that you tell someone you trust very much and go to a doctor they will know who you should be sent to and what medicine you should take.

phew that was really long but i really hoped i helped you and good luck.

EDIT

oh and btw i had an accident also i almost broke my neck and became paralyzed. I had the anxiety before that but the accident pushed it over the edge. You may also be depressed i was too.

EDIT again..

I am athiest thus i dont believe in god.

I was also afraid of nuclear war and the ending of human existance.

yeah thats all i am done now.

Answer 7

The fear of death occurs really when you equate death with stopping...or the ending of existence. Thus a result of not believing in God or an afterlife...you think when you die you disappear, that you are no more. Stop focusing on the negative and start trying to look at death as a transition, going through one door to the next. Try not to think so much on it at all, and if you do try and equate it with something positive..such as resting, being in peace,returning to nature, ultimate freedom, etc.

Answer 8

Puberty can be a very scary and frustrating period of your life. I suggest you see your doctor and tell him exactly what you typed here. It sounds like you have a major anxiety issue. Your doctor can prescribe you medication to take care of it.

I also have a major anxiety disorder and was near suicide. I decided to see my doctor instead, I am so glad because afetr him prescribing me medication and talking with him in therapy, I am now well on my way to being cured.

Good luck to you
