Is it normal to think about death and feel anxious? I do this all the time just the idea of death scares me, the idea that sooner or later we are all gonna die some day. I think i'm the only on that thinks this way. I think I over think too much but if you feel the same way tellll mee!!
Sometimes I do, but you need to remember this:
Death is inevitable. Worrying about it constantly won't save you, so you're really just wasting your time worrying about it. It's normal to be scared of death. And you should always try to prepare for disaster. However you don't want to spend your whole life thinking about death.
I think about death all the time. All you gotta do to feel better about it is talk to friends and family and convince yourself that you'd be okay dying right now.
Watch the 8 bit philosophy video about living authentically. It's impossible if you don't think about death
I don't think there is one person alive, who hasn't thought about death - so you're in good company.
People who've had near-death experiences or who've been revived, say it was amazingly peaceful and calm and they didn't feel afraid. And very bright :)
I have gone through very long phases of this. I found like you it was bothering me.
2 things have given me peace.
The first was accepting rationally that regardless of what death is, the anxiety I feel is different than death. And there are ways of responding to death other than anxiety. The anxiety does not have any effect on whether I die or not.
The second was to say I was going to take as much time as I needed just to not judge and think about death. So I was owning the thoughts, rather than them being intrusive to me, and if my mind wandered I would intentionally start thinking about death more, until I kind of wore myself out about it.
Death is scary, and it is great to be able to really feel that fear and that sadness, and to own those emotions. This way they come and go, but are not shocking or unfamiliar.
Don't worry it's normal to feel fear in death. Well atleast your supposed to feel fear in death. Unless your like me I don't care if I die and or if anyone else dies, don't be like me I'm 16 and have already lost all faith in humanity and ppl say I'm crazy so don't be like me plz there's enough of me already actually be like me the more the me the better
