I am so terrified of dying myself and the death of my loved ones. May sound childish; its an intrusive thought of mine. How does anyone else cope with this?

      I'm the same way. My anxiety is mainly because I'm afraid I'm going to die or someone else close to me is. Or there's something constantly wrong with my health and it's awful. I've tried every med possible except benzos. I'm currently on Lexapro 5mg and my pharmacy switched manufacturer of it and now it don't seem to help as much. I try to reroute my thoughts but it's hard sometimes. My Dr also said if my anxiety comes back to add abilify to my Lexapro at night. I'm nervous to try that but fingers crossed. Are you currently on any meds for anxiety/intrusive thoughts?

      It’s understandable to be scared of the unknown. In my opinion I think death is necessary to appreciate and make the most of life. Living for eternity would be boring because life wouldn’t be appreciated and we wouldn’t make the most of it. Try not to hyper-fixate on the unknown. Just live your life. Do things you’re scared to do, make the most of it. No ragrets ya know! (I spelled that wrong on purpose hhh😅)
