Terrified of dying

Is it f**ked up that I'm really scared of dying? I think about it all the time. I know that it's natural and something everyone goes through, but knowing that it's inevitable makes it so much worse. I feel like I want to run away from it or something.
I'm also obsessed with how and when it's going to happen and how much pain I'll be in. I'm convinced it's going to be something extremely gruesome, like murder or a fire.
Sometimes I get so worked up that I think about killing myself right now (in an easy and quick way) to just get it over with.
I DON'T WANT TO DIE. I would take immortality in a heartbeat.

    I am not afraid to die. I just don't want to die when my kids are young and still need me. I pray to god that if I am to die that my kids are at the age when they can be old enough to care for each other.

    i have an insane irrational fear of dying to the point where ill be so happy and content with whats going on, and start calling people who i am not around with at the time to make sure theyre still alive. I have a fear that my life is going way too well and someone near and dear like my husband or my grandmother will die. I feel like a freak! I hate this!! I am VERY much so a mind over matter person, i brought MYSELF out of depression, i used to WANT to die, just kill myself and get over it.

    Now, i cherish life. I cherish it a little too much... i know. i KNOW. its a part of life, but a terrifyingly abnormal irrational fear of mine.

    Buhhh

    I am also very afraid of dying—sounds like an anxiety problem and if there is something specific concerning you, you might want to go see a doctor to make sure that it isn’t something major.

    Why the hell would you want to be immortal? I'm 42 and feel like I've been alive forever. I can't wait til my day of death.

    Think of it this way...the day you are born is the first day you begin to die...there isn't a way to avoid it, but if you confront your exact fears about death, you can start to overcome or understand things more clearly.

    I didn't think about dying until my brother took his own life. I also thought about killing myself; like what's the point? Than I realized my lifes only meaning is the one I give it. We have no control over the day we die, but until that day comes I will appreciate each day I have. Life is full of wonderful things.

  • it's ok you'll go to heaven. why do you think we have memories? When u die u go to a place like earth but with less problems and every1 is happy. besides u shouldnt worry. just enjoy ur life for now.

    Its human nature to be afraid to die. This is why we have religions in the first place, to help man cope with mortality. You are supposed to focus on Heaven to help you deal with death.

    I on the other hand don't believe in a God or a Heaven, I used too though. I went through the same thing, its a really deep and scary feeling but I got through it and now except my fate as real, I don't care what happens to me after I die because there is nothing I can do about it. I just hope hope HOPE that I don't get re-born again on this earth. This place SUCKS and I definitely don't want to come back.

    One thing though, accepting my death and life really put things into perspective. I don't care about things as much as I used too because it really doesn't matter. In the end, people die and life goes on, and what ever you cared about or mattered will do what it will do without you.

      Everyone fears death at one point in their lives, its normal.

      But dont take ur life thats the cowards way out, my advice is 2 simply 4get about it as chances r, its not going 2 happen 4 a really long time anyways.

      But the ratio is not evan, the population is growing about a billion a decade atm!
