Hi everyone,
I'm here because I've been suffering with
constant thoughts and fears of death or
deadly diseases. Either me dying or
someone I love. I've been this way for a
long time now and I never can seem to get
rid of it. It gets so bad, for example,
that I'll be driving down the street
crying thinking about what would happen or
how I would feel if so and so died or if I
died how my son would have to live without
his mother, etc. My thoughts get pretty
morbid sometimes too. I can't stand it. It
keeps me up at night. That's why I'm on
here right now at 12 am. My life is really
good right now. I have a wonderful
husband, a perfect son, everything I ever
wanted. I hate the idea of wasting my good
life away worrying about these things. But
I never can seem to stop worrying. Is
there any help for me? What can I do? The
idea of taking medicine scares me, but I'm
so fed up with being scared all the time.
Thank you

I have always been like this, I thought
it was a form of hypochondria. I think it
is another form of anxiety disorder. It is
worse when things are going well, isn't
it? The anxiety and fear have no where
else to go! I have tried Cognitive
Behavior Therapy, message me and I can
reccomend some books that can help when
you start to go off.....

It's not anxiety actually, that's clearly
a case of obsessions. You can always try
the natural route, which first involve
eating right, which you likely don't do
now, and then supplementation and
herbology. If that doesn't work, then you
will need to consider medication.

Maybe you and your husband should make a
will out that would make specifications in
regards to your son. Knowing he would be
in safe care may help ease some of the
anxiety.
We can only live our lives to the best of
our ability. If you eat right, exercise,
and do not engage in risky behavior, you
should live a healthy, long life.

I'm kind of going through the same thing
right now. For three months I've had a
fear of dying and I always just sit around
and picture what would happen if I die.
It's wasting my life because I can't focus
on the things I love anymore bacause of
it.
