Think about death alot - weird?

LegacyUser

Is it strange that I think about death all the time. I'm not exactly happy at them moment but I definitely do not want to die! yet I think about it all of the time. It is as simple as walking across the road thinking if I run now I could be killed or if I cross a bridge I think if I jumped off i'd probably die. I just think about death constantly but I am not suicidal or anything at all. Is this mad or does everyone think about it?

Hey Op,

I used to think about it all the time as well and it used to wreck my head. I didn't feel depressed or anything but it would be constantly on my mind, which as you know, is not pleasant.

I went to see a psychotherapist and told them all about it. They then told me to write down any thoughts I was thinking about death between that session and my next...at the time I said "now that your telling me to write it down, I probably won't think about it" and hey presto, I haven't thought about it much since then and that was 2 months ago.

That solution may not work for you mate, but I hope you get sorted out.

Best of luck,

M

Hi OP,

A preoccupation with death is actually quite common and we all experience it at some point. If it starts to interfere with your life however it's best to talk it through with someone.

I don't know if you are a reader but there is an excellent book called 'Staring at the Sun-Overcoming the terror of death' by Irvin D. Yalom. He's a psychiatrist and has written many books. It's easy enough to read and outlines numerous encounters with his clients and how their fear of death manifests itself in different ways. It costs about thirteen euro I think. It might help.

Best of luck*

it could be simply mix up of Hormones in your body or you might just need vitamin D.
Go see your GP.
Go on a holiday, take a walk, join a gym, change your diet, go speed dating, take your mind off things, and when some days hopefully which won't be too often when you feel like**** take some me time.

or simply explain why you think you feeling this way explore you feelings with certified DR

I think its a habit you may have built up , Id go for the writing down your thoughts, it may just wear off over time as you get bored of it

Thank you, I will look into your suggestions. what about wishing bad on someone? not death like but wishing something would knock them back and take a long look at their lives. bad things always happen to good people but never to someone who gets away with bad things they've said and done and everyone thinks butter wouldn't melt in their mouth leaving you looking like the bad guy even though you've done nothing wrong accept been the victim of their bad mouthing. Now I would never hurt a fly i'm just so angry inside that someone could turn people against me when I really did nothing wrong. I can't get over it, i'm friendless now because tall tales were made up and now I Hear people are talking about how mean I was to this girl who I said nothing to, I just happened to be in the presence of when she was arguing with someone else and I told her to calm down because she was going crazy for no reason. Now she lives all happy with OUR friends and I am alone because I chose not to spread what I saw and bring people into the problem but she chose to tell a completely different version of what happened and got to everyone before I could even explain that I wasn't going to get into it.

Not weird, sorry.
