when i was about 3 my sister told me that i would one day die (i had previously thought only old people did and didnt understand that one day i would be old too) . i can still remember the shock of finding this out and it completly terrified me. i got through childhood thinking that they would invent a pill to make u live forever so itd be ok. then when i was about 19 i had a nervous breakdown when all the thoughts of dying resurfaced. i couldnt see a point to life but would never consider suicide as the thought of being dead scares me so much. i am 24 now and it still troubles me. i often wake up in a cold sweat and heart racing trying to cling onto life and feeling like 'i just cant die!' . wht im scared of is the fore ver part. i could cope with ill die then come back but not forever. i cant talk to anyone because i sound bonkers but it troubles me every day. id like to believe in god and heaven but i dont think i do. does any one else feel the same or are you happy with death? how can i stop panicing?
