I am seriously afraid I am going to die

I'm with you guys... so hopefully it helps to know you're not alone, Mindyshope.

In fact, I don't come here *to this site* often because when I do I feel anxious - which for me always means some physical symptom. I've been through tons of medical testing and while I do have things wrong, they're usually not life-threatening. I'm sure I'm dying all the time. And by the way, for me, I don't read ANYthing medical or else I'll get the symptoms (if I don't have them already).

Sadly enough, I get very anxious when coming to this site as well. I know it is an excellent tool for many, but when I read some posts, I find myself only dwelling more and more on the negative.

I wish I could be more of a positive force for all of you, but it is so very difficult.

Best wishes to all of you.

Thanks everyone! It makes me feel better to know I am not alone and it's not dumb to feel the way I do. All of you have expressed the very feelings that I have. I to avoid listening to other peoples ailments and things happening, I avoid the news, I have become a pretty bad hypochondriac, it is is a scary thing. I wonder if all the things that scare me can actually make me feel this pain physically?

To All,
Cornflower is a very "wise" person. She has learned sooo much in her lifetime, and is an inspiration to all of us..Thank You Cornflower...You always give excellent advice!!!

No-one knows when they will die, or what they will die of. God made us like this. He does not want us to know the date of our death, or, how we will die. He knew that we would spend our entire life knowing the date of our death, and He intended for us to live our lives in the present, and make the most of our moments.

God wants each of us to be happy, and to live one day at a time.

Each of you will probably live to be really old. So, why waste all of your youth worrying over your death...

Think about it like this...You are starting at the cemetery and working your way backwards...

You probably have already rehearsed your funeral in your mind. Remember, you are still very much alive!!! You are not dead, yet!!!

Live as though you are alive, and not as though you are dead!!! Why would you want to bury yourself years and years before it is your time to go...

Live life to its fullest!!! This is your life, and you have the ability to do that!!!

I guarantee you that each of you are only suffering from panic attacks, and they have Not and never will kill anyone...

By spending sooo much time thinking about dying...You have forgotten to live!!

I am going to say this again...You have been spending sooo much time thinking about dying that YOU HAVE FORGOTTEN TO LIVE!!!!

I pray this helped to alleviate some of those fears...God Bless...
