Please don't be scared because you aren't really alone, only in your mind. Instead of focusing on death, use that energy to think about all the living you have to do yet. The best thing for you to do, is to go see your doctor, tell him/her what's going on & have him prescribe a mild antidepressant for you, that will curb those anxities you have. (Lexapro is great) Next, the best thing to do, is to get into therapy. You will soon begin to understand why you're a hypochondriac & why that is causing you to have panic attacks. The two go hand in hand. Sometimes people who haven't been given very much attention in their life, tend to become a hypochondriac, so as to get the desired attention they hunger for. That's not saying that's what's going on with you, it's just an observation I've noticed with some people close to me. There is help for you, just reach for it & don't suffer needlessly any longer. Trust me, when you start feeling better about yourself, the panic attacks & the feelings of dying will diminish. It'll take a while to get to that point, but you will get there. Ask your doctor for a referral to a therapist & make the appointment right away or let the doctor's office do it for you. Keep thinking positive thoughts when negative ones pop into your head. It isn't easy, but it will help you to look at life differently.

your not alone....
read your bible and pray...God will give you peace..
i'll pray for you too.

try Bio Feedback it is pretty cool! It is a lot of breathing and mind stuff. It works!

yep I am too anxiety disorder but not the fear of death type thats an irrational fear. yes your not alone with the panic attacts. I had 3 in one week last week :(

Bless yours heart, so sorry! I hope you understand my ease on this one, my hubby is home....Xanax is great! Just talk to you doctor. He should be able to help.

You have no need to be frightened. Everything you feel someone else has gone through it or is going through it at exactly the same time. It is easy to get anxious about life, phew, it can feel overwhelming at times I know. Just take a deep breath (please don't take drugs, that is an easy way out and it won't help you in the long run) and do the things that need to be done. I find I get overwhelmed when I have to many activities to do and I feel I can't keep up.
Your not going to die, I promise you that.
