How do I calm down?

Question

I have a fear of dying. I get anxious about everything and fear of the worst. 
I’m scared of airplanes because of the thought of it crashing and dying. But I really want to travel so it’s kind of hard ahaha 
My boyfriend and I want to go on a cruise next year but again, I’m scared of the thought of it going down or tsunami or whatever. How do I stop this anxiety?? 
Even when I go campin I get so scared. If it’s lightening and I go camping I’m awake all night scared that I’ll be struck. I always fear the worst

Answer

I had the same problem I dont mean to be rude but this is how I got over it we all are gonna die anyway some day it doesnt matter if you did what you liked or not just do what you like and enjoy yourself. And if you died doing something you like well shit happens at least you died doing what you loved not just stayed in the same place fearing death and dying anyway with out doing what you wanted or made you happy or at least that's how I see it😊

Answer

I have agoraphobia and claustrophobia and I know how you feel. I think whatever situation I put myself in will end badly. It stops me from doing a lot of fun stuff. There is no way I can see myself get on a plane in the near future no bloody way. I cried on a ride a Disneyland it is that bad. I can’t be restrained or held down without freaking out and sometimes can’t even have someone close to me. I’m 23. I have noticed the more situations I put myself in to try over come it the worse it gets and the less I do. My suggestion is a doctor or therapist, I don’t really think there is any way to get over it on your own. It’s horrible and I hope you figure it out!

Answer

Why do you have a fear of dying? Is that really your fear or is there a deeper issue you’re unaware of? Question why you are feeling this way. The chances of anything like that are slim to none. I would recommend seeing a professional for help. Even if it’s something small like hypnotherapy. You should enjoy life for the present moment. Really reflect on why you think that way. I know you know it’s not accurate otherwise you wouldn’t be seeking help.

Answer

You need treatment for anxiety. That is no way to live.

Answer

I guess the best way this was explained to me was you were fine before you existed and you’ll be fine after you stop existing on this world. Life is unpredictable, no matter how hard you try to control it, it’s gonna do what it wants. You are going to die someday. So would you rather of done the things you wanted? or been to scared to do them. What do you want to remember on your deathbed? Seeing this beautiful world? Going on a cruise with your significant other? Or being to scared to do any of it. I know its not as simple as I just stated but try to keep it in mind. Maybe also try journaling and working on stepping out of your comfort zones bit by bit. I think some of the most valuable memories I have are from traveling the world, I would hope you don’t miss out on that due to fear.

Answer

I know how you feel. But it sound like your having mini panic attack. I’ll be trying to sleep then be like, “oh my gosh what if I don’t wake up!” It scares me. What a good method is to stop yourself from panicking is, think of 5 things you see, 4 thing you hear, 3 thing you feel, 2 thing you taste, and 1 thing you smell. It gives you something else to focus on instead of panicking! Helps me every time!
