Counting down to d-day

Mental Health Anxiety & Panic Disorders
1

I don't remember when it happened, but at some point in the past 12 months, I got some "premonition" or really creepy feeling that i was going to die before I reached 25, so I've been terrified that I was going to meet my death at some point.

Writing this, it is Tuesday, March 8, 2011. My birthday is on this upcoming Monday, March 14, and my mind is going crazy and my anxiety is through the roof that I may die within the week. I am flying to Las Vegas this Friday and returning on Sunday to celebrate my birthday with friends, all flights will be done before my birthday, so I am also afraid that I may die in a plane crash. I'm so worried that my anxiety will keep me from even boarding the flight, or cause a huge episode on the flight itself.

Some people don't worry about death, and can easily live without thinking about it. But I am absolutely terrified and the clock is ticking and I can't rest easy.

Please help me, and someone tell me they've experienced this before too?

Sterling, I think that many of us think about death and fear it. If I fixate on the idea of death, then I start to get very depressed and even get anxiety over it. So, I turn to prayer and meditation to help me through it. As well, I really try to turn my energy around and focus on positive, happy and uplifting things to turn my energy around. Please know that none of us know when we are fated to die, and that's why I think that it's so important to embrace and enjoy life, and not to take anything for granted.

Really take the time to enjoy your trip and your birthday.
