Answers:
I have had these thoughts since childhood. ( from the age of 5) Even to this day if I stop and think about dying and how there is nothing after this... I have a panic attack.
You just ahve to learn to keep them at bay.
Completely normal. Completely.
If its not normal you and I both have a problem.. I dont stress myself over it but it does scare me!!
I don't know if it's normal but the same thing happens to me. If i even start to think about it i go into full blown panic mode for some reason. I'm terrified of death.
Life is a journey, all journeys have to ultimately end but like all good and bad trips its about what you and others put in that makes them great. Acceptance that you are going to die eventually is what you need to come around and you may have some deeper issues surrounding death that you need to look into. Just thank yourself lucky you where not on the bridge, its the old half empty approach you need to forget and embrace the half full one,
why worry about something you have know control over we all are going to die one day some sooner then the rest, life is too short.. If one life their life respecting other and doing the right thing thee is nothing to worry about...
Dont fret it, I have asked all my friends and EVERYONE has had a dream where there teeth are lose and/or falling out. This is just a warning your brain is giving you that u better brush that sh*t 2x a day. As for dieing many of us think about it a lot. For me i look at it as were all going to die sometime its nothing to be afraid of nothing you can stop. there is no point alway fearing it or wondering who next, all that does is work up the bad emotions in your body. Its best to just remember when your times is up the game is over.
yes just except it is natural to die. Everyone does it.
Hey Girl,
I know what you're talking about. You know none of us are guaranteed 70 good years or more. I think that is why we just have to appreciate and take each day that's given to us as a gift really. Some people call it living in the moment.
How can you really be enjoying your life if you keep going back to someday I'm going to die which in turn makes you feel fearful. I say life should be enjoyed. Sure you're going to die someday. Everyone does. You're not in this alone. But you must do your best to get the most out of and enjoy every single day and all the good things that come with it. Hope this helps in some way.
It is normal. I had cancer about 5 yrs ago. It brought me closer to the realization that we could die at any moment. I try not to think about it. But I was so close that I am no longer afraid of death. I have learned since then to live life like there is no tomorrow. Hug you kids, make sure you tell everyone in your life how much they mean to you everyday. Do not stand still an let life pace you by. Grab life and make a statement. Death can be just a phone call away.
Death is a real part of life.
Death is something you can not change. Work on something that you can.
The older you get the more you realize where you are on that journey.
And it always remains in the back of your mind. But you do make peace with that fact. Most deaths are very peaceful despite what you see in the newspapers or on TV.
So when your mind does wander to something you would prefer not to think about just say "Thank you for that", and think about having fun with your friends or doing something else.

No, its not normal, you need to accept that life one day has to end. Im not scared of dying because first I believe that im not gonna die for a very very long time. It probably also helps that my father and friend controls life, death and everything that happens on earth and beyond the earth and my dad is called God Almighty (you might have heard of him, he's all powerful and very famous). He takes away every kind of fear from my heart and I've learnt to trust in him. Everytime Im afraid, I just talk to him and tell him I need his presence, and he comes. People think its tacky to believe in something you cant see, but its called faith. Being a christian is hard but it has its rewards such as im completely protected every day and im not scared ever cuz God is always with me.
I'm 23 and I hadn't even thought about it but now I have felt some kind of cold in all my body. Now I'm thinking that I could be an exception and live forever. Nah, The routine would make me die through all those living years, maybe the exception part I will give up to you, you need it more than me.
I feel the same way, sometimes I start to think about it and its scary it just consumes me. But I think its normal
