I have givin this alot of thought before but I just recently started thinking about this again. Idk if it's normal that I think I'm going to die soon. I'm not suicidal or anything or depressed but I just feel like I'm not going to live much longer.
Is this normal?
Sometimes it really gets to me and scares me :(
Roseburg; I like ur post. I'm so afraid of death. I think about it too much. I'm too afraid. I just want some religion or someone to reach out to me. I want to know there's nothing wrong w death. Idc if everyone ends w it. I just want something after, it's so sad. I hate it. I don't wanna end up disappearing...... That's fucked up.
I think about death daily. I think about how strange it is that one moment I will be breathing and the next I will be gone. I wonder if it will hurt much or how it will happen or if I will leavve behind my loved ones or if they will leave me behind. Life seems weird too - I wonder what the point is if we are just hurdling towards death. But then I see how beautiful it all is and I forget for a while.
If you can avoid thinking such thoughts do so. One thing I have been told is that if you think something that HAS'NT happened is going to happen, guess what? It'll happen. Worrying is wishing for the very thing you don't want to happen to happen.
this is very typically a part of PTSD and response to trauma; it is called something like foreshortening of the future. therapy can help you realize the truth, esp if you get a therapist that deals specifically with PTSD. It is a lie that your brain tells yourself and it takes time and effort to retrain your thinking - however it is possible and worth the effort.
well just think about life and enjoy it while you got it
God will take you at the right time and it will be for a reason
What are you afraid of, specifically? Don't be afraid to live. Do something.
I get weird feeling's like that sometimes too. I remember I was almost positive that I would never make it to 16. Four year's later, I wonder why I even thought such a thing. And every now and then I get that strange feeling again. Today, I don't believe that I'll even make it to 30.
The fact is, you are going to die soon. People do not live on this earth for very long. Don't waist life constantly contemplating death, it will get you in the end.
It's just your imagination. I've had that thought creep up on me but you have to squash it immediately so it can't gain a foothold in your mind and become a way of thinking.
The man who murders never began with that thought; it was always something smaller, like a seed that eventually blossomed into something hideous.
So it is with the fear of death.
