Worrying is a bad habit, you need to overcome it like any other bad habit. Try to modify the factors under your control, that is the only thing you can do. From http://mshn.org/worry.html
maybe try reading a self help book on the topic, if it still is worrying you try talking to a therapist.
death is a luxury compared to life ... go see a hypnotherapist if it is realy an issue .many people are praying to die but they don't...
I doubt you'll die soon, but you should not work in a hospital, because it'll just prolong your fear. Talk to a therapist or a co-worker at the hospital about this.
I kinda know how you feel. After I was in my car accident I was the same way, still am partially. The only thing I can say is time will make it decrease. I'm not sure how to fully make it go away though. Sorry I wasn't a help :(
I can definitely relate to you feeling that way. Late last year I had an episode with my heart, and the doctors say it was a fluke, but basically I almost passed out and went into Atrial Fibrillation, and ever since then I've been freaking out that it's going to happen again.
I have it so bad that I think if I'm not around someone, I think I'm going to pass out and that I'm going to die, and no one will be there to help me. It's been a major distraction, and I think about it almost 24/7, so I can definitely relate to how you feel, even though our reasons are different.
Personally I would say you should see a psychologist, because that's what I know I should do, but I don't have enough money. I'm actually 20 years old and I know it would be bad going on with this problem, but the second I get enough money I'm going to schedule an appointment. But what you have to realize is that you are perfectly healthy. (I'm guessing you are). The people you are seeing die are from diseases and conditions that you most likely do not have, and they are there for a certain reason. Even though I know I am healthy now and have not had an episode, I keep thinking "what if..." and I'm guessing that's the problem you're having too. But I would definitely suggest going out and maybe taking a drive to get your mind off of the subject, or reading a book like someone else said could also be a good one, but I feel if I'm sitting around reading I think about it more.
But definitely see a specialist about it, and just try doing little things to TRY to get your mind off of it. I also find playing guitar helps, so if you play an instrument, I would suggest it. The music really soothes the mind. And also, listen to easy listening music, like jack johnson, or something that just calms you down. Hope this helps a little bit, and lets you know you're not the only one!!! =] Good luck!
maybe you shouldn't work in a hospital...do something more uplifting.....death is a natural way of life but you shouldn't dwell on it....you need to feel that this is the way life is....
