Fear | ADHD Information
I only fear death for 2 reasons:I want to see what happens in my life, like seeing the end of a movie. I want to have a happy ending, with all the storylines complete and neatly wrapped up. I want all the happiness I've wished for to come true. I haven't achieved everything I wanted to, and I think it would suck extremely hard if I died before I was able to.I don't fear being dead so much as I fear dying. Dying will likely be accompanied by pain, feeling helpless, or intense fear. I especially fear being killed by a serial killer or in a plane crash. Both of these have intense loss of control, pain, and FEAR.
Do any of you have a real bad fear of death?
I don't know if I do because I have a hard time seeing much past tomorrow or if its just part of my OCD?
I'm not particularly bothered about the pain that may be involved so much as just ceasing to be. Well here any way.
It's not that I have a huge ego or anything, I just don't like the thought of being forgotten. Maybe that's the real issue?
I believe that there is life after death. don't fear death, but don't wanna die either. My biggest fear is my loved ones dying. The visions of that are vivid and disturbing. Wanted you to know that the alter ego you gave me is working. Seems like the only solution to the pictures is to replace it with another picture. Word thoughts do not work on picture thoughts.
OCD thoughts do cause depression so you have to work on replacing those. My tdoc visit yesterday really helped me in that area. I'll pm you with what she said. I'll get it together first. I mean the information.

Aww, Reisa. I know what you mean. I have moments like that, when I think that no one in the world would give a sh*t if I died. There is another name for thoughts like these: DEPRESSION.
You won't be forgotten. Your family and friends will carry you in their hearts and minds.
I dont want to die, i have children to look after & plus im not ready, God may not take me yet as i have a grudge on him.
I value my life in too many ways not just for my chilren but thet are no.1. My answer is with an if:
If I've been the best person I can be in this life I am not afraid to die because I think God will grant me a peaceful death without too much pain and I believe in Heaven.
If I have not been a very good person, I am afraid to die because I am afraid of a painful death and believe in an after life that can go either way.
If there were one way of dying that I fear the most, I'd have to say drowning or suffication. That really bothers me.
lostmyshoe38892.3775810185i think dying alone would be the worsti am not scared to die more about the way i will die as in my family we have a history of violent death and suicide,we joke it is the curse of the vendeville,that an mental instability
I would like to say it's my family but it really is just about me not being here anymore. I would be an immortal if it were possible, staying at this age bodywise though
Countrygirl, please do PM me.
scotmama - realisticly we all die alone. It's a one-way single passage trip.
I don't fear death - I don't relish the thought either though. It happens to all of us. Life is a fatal illness - we all have it and nobody but nobody gets out alive.
Everyone has something that gets us at least a little anxious. Death, money, love, weight..etc. etc. It's an instinct that protected us as primitives from things like lions and tigers and bears. Oh my.
A lot of people ask me "you don't fear death? But you are an atheist - aren't you afraid to just *poof* and be gone?". In reality it took long thought to come to terms but I refuse to take up a belief system just because I dislike the thought of non-existence.
Besides - at nearly 40 no kids no wife I really don't have many ties to life when the time comes. I think that many fear the separation from things around them and I simply don't have that.
my father died alone ,his choice ,decided to drive his car in a canal.my mum in law died in hospital with scotdaddy and her best friend by her side.I would rather die like her.
Well obviously i would not commit suicide,like my father did.
