Are you afraid of dying?

[Eric]

There was a thread for this like 5 years ago but yeaa

i'm not afraid of dying cause i know its inevitable but i'm scared of dying of some sort of disease or illness when i'm old, or any long and painful process that i have to experience and go through before i die. but if you're talking about a gun next to my head then that's a different case

[lucaskf390]

Death is a natural process, nothing to fear.

[Martin]

thanksss, i'll try

I'm not scared of dying but I'm scared of how I might die. I fear losing myself to some mental illness, getting some terminal illness which will slowly eat at me or torture in any form.

I'm more sad than scared of dying as I would love to watch the world advance.

IM AFRAID OF SOMEONE I LOVE DYING AND BEING LEFT ALONE
thats why im going first so they are on their own

[Mark]

Yeah I'm afraid of dying, I think it's more the 'then what....' kinda thing that worries me. Like you'll not do anything ever again, ever....

[Aiden]

i am really afraid of dying it's unreal
i get so emotional when i think about it

[Eric]

what comes after death is scary

[Hannah]

I don't want to die, obviously - but I'm not afraid of it at all. I'd rather die than be a vegetable or unable to look after myself - that's when premature death is welcomed by me. You never know, I could fall onto the train tracks one morning before work and that could be it.

Nonetheless, when it happens I'm not going to care because I'll be dead and finally feel/see nothing.

[Absently]

i'm not really too afraid of dying, as long as i don't have to suffer. i'm far more worried of the people i love dying and it worries me greatly.

[Mikey]

I remember maybe around a year ago I thought about it regularly and it really upset me but now I don't really think about it. Of course I'm afraid of dying who wouldn't be?.. but hopefully that will be when I'm a old man. :)

[OldLoveSong]

im not afraid of death for i believe in heaven and being in a better place, but im afraid of death for my cat and thinking of it gets me so sad and depressed ;c

[!x!dude!x!2]

not really . since it's going to happen one day

[Jazz]

im terrified, everytime i think about dying i start whimpering and sniffing

[Shar]

Im not afraid of death as such but I'm afraid because you don't know when it will happen or where and if you will be with your family/friends or all alone. I know there's no way of telling those things but still it's a scary thought.

[Jordan]

I am. It's weird that its nothing afterwards like nothing happens. Weird.

I also hate it when thinking about pets, they don't even know it happens so they don't expect it. Aww so sad. I don't think they would anyway. But I only have 1 dog now but when the other one passed away it just kept crying and crying. broke my heart. they were best friends

[Liva]

I have panic attacks about this all the time.. I fear it so badly and I don't want it to happen. I've been like this since I was a child and realised my parents were going to die. Can you imagine being a child and having panic attacks? It's ridiculous. :(

[lawrawrrr]

I'm like, really worried that this might be it and all, but I think I'm at peace with the concept of dying - I don't want to go now, but if I did, I'd be relatively okay with that, if there was an afterlife which you could look back on.

I am scared of being so ill and in pain - close to death but kept alive by the countless pills and machines our doctors force on us instead of letting us go peacefully and with some dignity.

[Calum0812]

Not afraid as such but it's the events that lead up to me dying that I'd be more worried about

[Lewis]

In a way, I am afraid that I don't see my family again after I die. But I'm mainly scared of how I die, not what's next (if there is something).

[karter]

you're all lying we're all afraid of death

[Aiden]

i'm not lying tyvm

[MKR&*42]

I think some of us could easily be in a mind state where we just don't care. The only thing about death that even remotely scares me is dying some really weird way like out of a final destination film, but I doubt that's gonna happen :P

[karter]

if i come with a lethal injection which wont pain at all but will kill you, you'll still be scared as hell yea u're lying

[buttons]

yknow what worries me
what if when u die u actually go to the worse place ever and spend ETERNITY there!!!! ALONE FOREVER
I don't think ill ever be ready to die cause of that
but i try not to think of it though as hopefully I don't die until old age

[Glen Coco]

I used to be when I was younger.
Recently, chances are due to personal issues, dying is no longer a fear of mine.
It's how I die that I'm scared about.

[crystaldd0]

I'm not afraid of dying, I'm only afraid of the aftermath. Like how it will effect the people in my life. I wouldn't want people to mourn or feel grief for too long about it. It really is a bummer.

[-Moniquee.]

I am so afraid.. I often think about it and it makes me sick :(

[Eric]

Below are some of the most common fears that people have about death and dying.



Fear of the Unknown – It is normal to be afraid of the things we can’t imagine. If you have been involved in a faith community or other spiritual involvement, you may find some answers there that will be helpful to you.
Fear of Pain and Suffering - Many people fear that pain and suffering at the end of life cannot be avoided. Talking with your healthcare team about your concerns is very important. Your healthcare team will help you to understand the advances in medicine that can minimize pain and lessen anxiety and depression.
Fear of Punishment – People from every religious point of view and those with no religion at all may fear that they will be punished for what they did or did not do. Each of us has things we would do differently if we could go back in time. Sharing these regrets openly with those close to you or someone from a faith community can help you to feel less burdened.
Worry about What Will Happen to Loved Ones – One of the most common fears is what will happen to those who are dependant on us. Making plans in advance for guardianship and financial planning can help lessen these kinds of worries.
Loss of Control - It is our nature to want to be in control over our lives but recognizing what is out of our control can help to focus attention on the things we can control.
Isolation – Being open about what you are really thinking and feeling with those close to you will help them feel more comfortable being around you. Let them know that you still want to know what is happening in their lives and that it is okay to joke and talk about trivial things as well as some of the more serious things on their minds.
Fear of Non-Existence - Many people, including those who are not religious, believe in an afterlife. When facing one’s death it is not unusual to question this belief. We cannot know for sure what will happen, but speaking with others in a faith community or loved ones may help to reassure us.
