Is it normal to fear death?

82% Normal
11 Comments

I'm not really sure when I started to think about it but for the past few months it's been driving me insane. I suddenly feel cold, I start shaking, and I feel like screaming. After a few seconds of thinking about it I get something like a flash and I feel like everything is empty and gone and that's when it gets really bad.

Are these kinds of things normal for someone 1/2way through college?

    Have felt death "touch me" also .. & it was the most horrifying , lonely , empty & scariest feeling i have ever experienced in my life , could not sleep for days afterwards & was deeply disturbed by the feeling that lingered afterwards !

    Or i always have a dream right before someone i know gets hurt for real .. Which you think would prepare you for these events but over the years iv'e realised it doesn't .. If anything , it stresses me more after it as i know what's going to happen .. It's a given if i dream it :/

    Are you more afraid of the natural process of dying .. Or in what manner you die .. ? For me it's the latter but my reasons are i think somewhat justified as several times i have dreamt of people close to me dying .. then within a matter of days/weeks it has happened for real .. horrible deaths too

    I'm not scared of death. It would just end all this bullshit.

    I think you're just more concerned how it is you are going to die. Let me also add that it is extremely unhealthy to do so. If it's paranoia just say "fuck it" whenever you feel like it. When you realize over and over that nothing happens then you'll get over it.

    i think you first have to ask yourself why you're afraid of death. is it the process of dying or is it what you think might happen after death? i believe that when you die, you die. you just cease to exist which means you can't feel or think anything. everyone dies so what is the point worrying about something you won't even be frightened of when you're dead? but it depends on your beliefs. i don't think you're alone in your thinking though.
