The thought of dying

So this morning I was on my way to work and I carpool with a neighbor of mine and we were discussing me getting my license finally. I explained that I am afraid of having a panic attack while driving or something bad happening. He then goes on about how we are all going to die one day and that it could happen any minute with any of us and even though I know this it really scared me. I used to dwell on the thought all day but in the past couple years I have thought worried about other things which relate back to the fear or dying. Like "What if I choke" then I would die ect... It is scary and what have you done if you have had this thought??

I think all of us at one point have thought we were going to die. While it is a scary thought, it's a part of life. You just have to try and push it out of your mind and focus on something else. When you find that thought enter your mind, think of what things in life make you happy and focus on that instead.
