Is it normal to think about dying a lot?

I think about dying almost everyday. I've been doing this for the past few months. Sometimes when I'm walking down the road I'll imagine a car or truck going out of its way to hit me. Sometimes it's about a past event, like what if I had drowned at the beach yesterday, or if my plane crashed. Sometimes I imagine being diagnosed with a terminal illness. The thing is that I'm not afraid of death, in fact I find the idea of it almost comforting. I don't want to die, I generally enjoy my life and hope to keep living it for as long as I can. It's not just about dying though, sometimes it's just pain. Like what if I lost an arm in an accident. Again, I don't want it to happen, but I'm not afraid of it.

    I don't know how normal it is, but you rather remind me of myself. I am, however, afraid of physical injury and disfigurement, but not afraid of death in and of itself. Sometimes I wonder if I'll get a heart attack. Ugh.

    I do try not to let my mind dwell on these thoughts to long, because I want to live and be with my cat. If it weren't for him I would probably be quite morbidly depressed. I also try to live a halfway decent life, because I hope to be reunited in the afterlife with my loved ones who've gone on before me.

    It is only normal if you want to waste the life you have worrying about something that you can not avoid. You ARE going to die, so what help is it to worry about it?

    Dying is a natural part of life and it's bound to cross your mind frequently,if not often. I too think of weird and bizarre ways I could leave this world, doesn't mean that I want to. The same could apply to you, just enjoy life and try not to get stuck living in your mind.
