Answer 1

listen up. let me put it out simply. we all live, and when the time comes, we all die. thats how things work. just enjoy life while you have it and make the most out of it without ruining it with fear of death.  i really think that getting faith will erase your fear. im not trying to force anything on you, but Christ has helped me so much over so much of my life. i've totally accepted him as my Savior, and knowing that i'll have a chance in heaven, im not afraid of death anymore. its pretty awsum. but for now, dont stress too much about things like that, but just appreciate the things you have. stay well and live life to the fullest!!

God bless!!!

Hey Sweetheart..

Your question really pulls at the heart strings. Everyone or most everyone probably fears death at least one point in life. But what you are doing is fearing death to a point where you are not living life. Think about all those people out there with some sort of a medical condition and they are told that they have one week or one month or maybe a year to live. They don't sit around doing nothing and crying about death... they go every day out and about living life like they never have before..they don't fear death or getting killed because they know they will die. Well the truth is any one of us can die. I know that its hard to realize and that you may be scared but you have to think about it like this.. You can either lay around crying about the fear of death or you can go out and appreciate your life. Live every day like it is your last day. Appreciate it so much. Appreciate everything you have and try not to fear death so much because you have a beautiful, wonderful life. Its time to go out and live it! If the thoughts continue please seek the advice of a professional. If you just want to chat feel free to contact me. Best of luck.

Take up skydiving.  Worked for me.  Here is are f few lines from a song called Enjoy Yourself -- by Carl Sigman

Enjoy yourself, it's later than you think

Enjoy yourself, while you're still in the pink

The years go by, as quickly as you wink

Enjoy yourself, enjoy yourself,

It's later than you think

Answer 5

Answer 6

Most people go through that sooner or later. In fact, that is what a mid-life crisis is all about. It usually passes and you make peace with yourself. Usually you define your sprituality in the process. Often, people who pass this phase find themselves more happy and at peace, and fine more meaning in life.

It's like another puberty, one of your last growing tasks is to come to terms with your own mortality.

According to people like Carl Jung, this is a growth phase of becoming a true individual.

Try talking to someone who will understand, it heps a lot. Especially an trusted older person since many of them have survived this phase.

It seems like it just hit early for you. I hit it early, too.

Answer 7

Here is what my father told me when I was young and it always made me feel better  When you die 1 of 2 things will happen.

If there is nothing after life and you die, you won't even realize it. All goes black, so you won't know the difference.

Two, if there is in fact something after life, it will be something fantastic and amazing.  

Either way, it is nothing to worry about while you are alive.

Enjoy each day, time goes by really fast.  

Answer 8

You should read more about death, it is merely the end of conciousness. Sometimes when I'm scared I use this method:

Remember what we're made of. We're just carbon compounds- proteins, lipids, nucleic acids, and carbohyrdrates. Our thoughts and our pain are only electric signals passing from our nerves to our brain. Once you bring everything down to a practical matter and see yourself as a individual in the species of humans, instead of only thinking from a first person point of view, everything seems less scary.

   So next time you're scared, remember that fear is not a real, physical thing, its just an electric signal in your brain.

  Also, remember that death is as natural as birth, time, and aging, and it's inevitable. In the mean time, make the most of your life and worry about things that you CAN change, such as your grades this semester or seeing your family more.

  Also, know that 1 in 4 people in the US die of heart problems, which aren't really gruesome deaths, more peaceful, so don't worry!

You can also do this: Decide that when you die, that you will donate your body to science, and then you will feel good that even after death you may save someone's life!

Good luck, and if you ever have to talk feel free to email me from my profile :-)

Answer 9

No one wants to die but you need to find peace and happiness in your life and each day you wake up count your blessings and not your fears.Enjoy the life you were blessed with and do good in the world by helping others. be a friend to someone who is lonely or put a smile on the face of an older person that just wants someone to share their day or some old memories.Play with some little children that don't get much attention make your life count and stop thinking about what you can not change.

Answer 10

You know what everyone at one point or another has a fear of dying.

It is ok.

My son is always scared that he is going to die, he asks me at least 3 times a day.

My daughter tells me that she hates the fact that she is getting old (she is only 16)

I only have one thing to tell you, you have one life and that is it. Once you are gone you will never come back. People will remember you for a short time but eventually go on with their lives.

In the meanwhile whatever amount of time you have to live on this earth, LIVE IT UP! Be happy that you are still here kicking and screaming.

There are alot of people that are seriously ill, or live in war zones. Those are the people that should be scared that they are going to die.

Do this, when get up every morning and say thank you god for giving me a extra day on this earth. Please help each day that goes by be a wonderful day.

Also take a minute to think about what makes you happy? How would the people you love feel if you were not here on earth.

I know I said I would say one thing but I could not help it!

Also you may want to get counseling.

It helps.

I wish you well!

Take care and remember to wake up every morning and thank god for giving you another day!

Answer 11

Do you believe in God ??  Its ok if you don't but If you do, then you should look forward to death b/c you can be with God, in heaven, with the people you love.  You can't live life being scared of dying b/c then you aren't actually living.  You only have one life to live and constantly worrying about dying is not the way to live it.

Answer 12

I'd seek therapy if I were you. You need to understand that death is inevitable; meaning it's unavoidable. I don't know how old you are but thinking like the way you are will not prolong anything, so just keep a positive mindframe and do what you like to do. Everyone has a selected time and you just got to make the best of it. Hope that helped   : )

Answer 13

dont worry about death I believe in God and heaven but im not going to try and convince u its real but there is an afterlife just think of all the ghost sightings in the world they cant all be wrong so just enjoy life
