I don't believe that you're doing this for attention, this must be a very frightening situation for you.  You definitely need to see a Doctor.\n\nI studied a lot of Psychology in college, and I remember hearing about this kind of problem.  I found some links that I hope might be helpful:\n\nhttp://www.behavenet.com/capsules/disorders/somatoformdis.htm\nhttp://www.behavenet.com/capsules/disorders/paindisorder.htm\nhttp://www.behavenet.com/capsules/disorders/somatizationdis.htm\nhttp://www.behavenet.com/capsules/disorders/undsomatoformdis.htm\nhttp://www.behavenet.com/capsules/disorders/ptsd.htm\n\nThe best thing you can do for yourself is go see a doctor, if you haven't already.  You're not alone, this is not an uncommon problem.  Most people just don't have the courage to come forward like you did.\n\nI hope this helps, and I hope you will seek treatment.  You deserve it.\n\n******MODIFIED:\nI talked to a friend of mine tonight who is a Psychologist.  She disagreed with what I had thought (somatoform or PTSD).  She says it does sound like possible hypochondria.  \nA lot of people don't know what hypochondria REALLY is- it's NOT an attempt to get attention or laziness, like many people think.  It is a real fear of death, and can involve delusions of illness & dying.  \nBut again, it is very important for you to go to a Doctor to get a professional opinion.  He/she can tell you much more.\nIf it makes you feel better, I went through something similar when I was 16, I was having these excrutiating lower abdominal pains. I was in the hospital a lot, I went through TONS of test/x-rays/ultrasounds, even surgery!  Turns out it was psychological, I had imagined it all.  I was humiliated for a long time, but then when I found out more, and learned that this kind of thing is fairly common, I felt better.\nI really hope this helps, and that you'll see a Doctor and feel better!  Take care:))

you sound young....meaning that you have time to plan a proper diet.....dont wait for the dr. to tell you that you are going to die ....use that as motivation.....there are alot of healths risks with poor eating...or too much eating....just think..."I DONT WANT TO DIE".....and work your butt off to stay away from all that food...good luck

It would be better if you take life as it is. This had happened to me : I would always feel that somebody is always watching me and I got to behave nicely always. But the truth is that, its my own self-thinking. I had wondered always what would others think about me... But have come to know now that world is like this and we got to go forward whatever we meet.\n\nI think you are worried about everything. Try thinking over what makes you worried. Try to stop gradually the activites which makes you worried. If necessary, you may go to a psychiatrist. There is really nothing wrong in going to such a doctor. I know by experience that its better to approach such doctors when needed. \n\n\nAfter everything, I will pray for you.

Something tells me that you’re not looking for these answers, but here goes. There are many reasons for why people can be (or are) scared of dieing. \n\nPerhaps you aren’t ready to die because you’re torn spiritually because you have thousands of religions telling you that their god is the only one and to choose otherwise will cause your soul to be damned to hell. (That’s a big one)\n\nPerhaps you’re doubtful of the existence of a heaven or a hereafter and are convinced that the only place there is after you die is only hell. (Another good one)\n\nPerhaps you feel that the only thing that awaits you is the great emptiness of the void and that for the remainder of all eternity there will be nothing but emptiness. (That can get very scary if you honestly think of it)\n\nPerhaps you aren’t certain that there is enough you can do to work out the issues that tempted you or tormented you while you were on this mortal coil. (After all, there’s no spiritual ATM to tell you what your spiritual debt or balance is)\n\nPerhaps you’re the type of individual who’s alright with the idea of dying but you don’t want to do it alone or away in a strange hospital with nobody familiar, not even your loved ones nearby. \n\nPerhaps you’re worried about dieing a ‘bad’ death, one which is painful and lingering or perhaps a death where you didn’t want anyone to find you doing. (Like dieing while taking a crap right after you hear that you just won the lottery)\n\n Perhaps you didn’t want to die in a state of sadness. (Say for instance you’ve just watched your wife and children die because of something you did, like a car crash, and you realized that you were responsible for it)

PEOPLE WITH CHEMICAL IMBALANCES STRUGGLE WITH DEPRESSION WHICH CAN LEAD TO SUICIDE. I BELIEVE LACK OF KNOWLEDGE ABOUT MEDICINE COULD LEAD SOMEONE TO THIS POINT. OTHER REASONS FOR FEELING BAD COULD BE PROBLEMS, LOSSES, ANYTHING FROM EVERYDAY LIFE. IF YOU ARE FEELING THIS WAY DEFINATELY GET IN CONTACT WITH SOMEONE OF THE MEDICAL FIELD. LIFE IS TO PRECIOUS TO CUT SHORT. WRITE A LIST OF THE THINGS U R GRATEFUL FOR.

I'm not sure what you're having is a mid-life crisis. I've always felt a mid-life crisis had to do with a man hitting an age where he became obsessed with the fact that his best years were behind him. Maybe you feel that way due to the issues you've faced at just 19. Either way you should talk to someone, friend & family are the place to start but if that's not an option seek professional help.\n\nLife is too short to spend it worried about death.\n\nGood luck.

you're always going to be at risk of recurring depression, it's similar to being a recovering alcoholic in that you can never really say you are cured, but that doesn't mean you can't feel better, with the right treatments, or that you can't live a full and exciting life.\nYou need to be aware of what triggered the depression, and have a plan in place whenever you feel those depressed thoughts coming back.\n  Exercise and sport are excellent methods of keeping depression at bay, as well as keeping fit :)

You have to accept that you will die, get over it because it is not going to change.  It makes no sense spending all your energy worrying about how temporary life is and then find yourself at the end of it, having nothing to show for the time you were alive.

I think you are over exaggerating, obviously everything could not have gone wrong for you, if it did, you won't even own or have access to a computer and Internet access to be able to ask this question, you could have been in Indonesia and be among the over 2000 people that died for not fault of their yesterday. \n\nYou could be among the many who are frustrated about life and have tried again and again to end it.\n\nAnd so many other reasons. I don't know what you could be going to that makes you feel that way, but try and look at the bright side once in a while, it will help.\n\nThere are times when i am walking and i hit my foot against a stone, at first it feels like my whole body aches, i am clutching my foot and groaning in pains, but gradually, the pain becomes isolated to my foot and after some time i don't even feel it any more. That how life is, sometime it feels like you have lost everything and your whole life is coming down, but just think about it, you are still alive to read this. God speed

You need to talk to someone about your fears of dying.  The are not crazy and very real fears but something that you need to talk about.  One thing to think about is a friend of mine who has died twice but been sent back because "it wasn't her time".  She has full well been on her way to heaven and is able to describe the wonderful feeling.  She can't wait to get back to heaven and has told me many times that if anything happens she does not want me or anyone else to start CPR on her.  You can bet I will honor her wishes.  You will not forget things when you die but will be able to see and reuninte with all the people who have died.

I feel for you, I too am very afraid of death, not due to a dream though. You at least know what caused your fear, I do not. I think part of it is due to the fact that I was exposed to death too young in life, but I can't be sure. Try to tell yourself that it is just a dream. I don't think that people can predict their deaths. Even though I myself share your fear, I don't think we should fear it. I can tell you the constant fear of it is not healthy. I can also say that it is not a fear easily overcome. I'm still trying, have been for years. It is also not widely understood by people. Someone who does not have this fear cannot realize how crippling it is. I would suggest you go find someone to talk to about it, a priest or counselor maybe. Hopefully they can help you to come to terms with death a little. I wish ya luck.
