How can I get over my fear of getting old and ugly and eventually dying?
Hi, IMO, There are worse things than getting older and uglier. Think of someone incredibly famous. Did they have to be young and good looking to achieve things? A fear of death is natural. Some do not fear it, they fear how it will happen.Without making assumptions all I can do is work with your question. The one thing common to the three things you listed, bring to mind one word: significance.Ugly, old and deceased people can still be significant. People worry they haven't done enough, made enough of a mark on the world. Could this be your real fear? Or, could it be a need for love. We all need it. In all three cases a person can still be loved.If you have a phobia about these issues, please see a clinician.However, if this jogs something in your mind, try facing it outwards. Be more of yourself and add value to others lives. Let someone love you and love them better than before. Give and it's likely that done the right way, you will gain more than you think. To the right people, it will not matter what you look like, or how old you are, you will be significant. You are already.This is not mean’t to be trite. None of us get out of this life alive, with our bodies functioning. None of us can hold back time. All we can do is our best, love our best and be there for others who need us. Achieving this is real significance. I hope this helps.
Fear / Phobia of Hills ?
its called the jack and jill syndrome hey dont worry about it hills arnt even that great
How do you get over the fear of death? I’m 22 and have been thinking a lot about it recently and it scares me. I’ve found some comfort reading people’s NDE experiences. Is it something that you begin to accept more as you get older?
Fear of death? Just about every single person I have ever met is scared to death of death. If great grandma is 99 and she dies, they will rant and rave at the doctors and try to sue them! And by the way, this is also why doctors are shit scared to give adequate pain relief to people.As much as people flaunt their religions and dream about their “final reward,” if death comes whispering at them they head for the hills!No one wants to “pull the plug” on a person who has been brain dead for a long time, even when they can no longer even breathe on their own.The Big Kids in the computer field are working feverishly to be able to transfer their intelligence to a computer, also their consciousness.People pay massive amounts of money for their bodies to be cryogenically frozen.Good lord, if you are not scared shitless of death, there is something wrong with you! (Not really.) I suggest you do some studies of ancient tribes and the way they felt about life, and death. Maybe they didn’t (and some still don’t) have iron, but they sure as hell knew about life and death. Get closer to the earth.I hope this will help you. Let me know, if you wish.
I have a phobia of death?
I know that it's inevitable, but with so many people dying everyday in accidents, it's scary to know that one day it could be me. I'm 23 and as far as I know I'm healthy, still I think about how at any moment I could die. I can't get it out of my head no matter what i do. I feel like it's really taking a toll on my life and it's even leading to panic attacks. I use to see a therapist, but it didnt really help me. If anything I thought about it even more. He said I have anxiety. Could that be causing this, and will it ever go away. I really just want to live my life like a normal person, instead of in fear. I'm afraid that if this continues it will prevent me from doing everything I enjoy.
I get panic attacks thinking about death?
well , i am not a monk , or a religiouse person , but you have to understand , this life is not our real life, or our future , we will all die , do you think that we've just created for nothing . and after death just be part of the ground , no , of course no, i had the same situation and feeling as yours believe me , as your body needs food, your mind also needs food , and the food of your mind is belief , I never thought that one day i wont be afried of death anymore, its easy just you have to enlarge your vision i am ready if you want to talk to me more i can help you good luck lagolas_rohan@hotmail.com
Fear of death at age 15?
Im 14 almost 15 and I think i have a fear of death. I know im really young and shouldnt be worried about this but i cant help it. I also think i might have a fear of growing up. I feel as if life is going so fast and that i will soon be of the marriage age then having kids then middle aged then being old then soon too die. I know im overreacting but i cant help it. What are some things i could do to stop this. I cant really do much outside of my house because parents working so no transportation. So basically what are some words of encouragement and what i could do at home based on my situation. Also, im pretty sure i should seek professional help but i dont like talking about myself in person personally with someone i dont know. Basically what would you say to an 80 year old person to comfort them?
