Why am I scared of things that are dead?

Question

I can tolerate dead things to a certain extent. But when it comes to like animals, people, fish, bird, squirells, and rats I can't take the sight of it. I don't go to funerals because I will have nightmares for weeks. Where I work at, we have to go outside to smoke, and we have dogs, and everytime I go outside to smoke one of the dogs brings me a dead animal and drop it at my feet and I run back in the house screaming like a mad woman. Is it in my mind or what? A lot of people tell me that its a pyschicological thing, but im not sure what it is? Is there anyone out there that has been through this, what did you do to get over this. Someone please help me? Be serious to.

Answer 1

Perhaps it reminds you that you are going to die one day and it scares you. I remember when I was 12 my grandmother died. I went in and took one look at her body and ran out during the funeral. Then after years of dealing with death and being forced to see dead things, I dissected a human body in Anatomy class when I was about 30, held the severed head in my hands and all kinds of yucky stuff, and it didn't bother me one bit. You can get used to death if you want to, but really there isn't much call to unless you want to go to medical school or become a mortician
