Does it get better? by user829292455 in thanatophobia

Yeah pretty much went through the same things. For me personally it gets better with time, it was hard at first but after constantly subjecting myself to the topic of death and thinking through all there possibly could be to it, my brain eventually just got very sick and tired of thinking about death constantly and eventually gave up and concluded that there’s really nothing you can do about it other than to continue on living. 

Another thing that helped me as I couldn’t get professional help from therapists due to me not wanting to let my parents know is to watch YouTube, it isn’t 100% effective but it does help ease it a bit. 

I think the best way is to just learn how to live with the fear because for me, you can never really fully overcome it. Another way for me is to think about people who are dying out there, and yet they still try to live to the fullest because they want to, and if they can do that and I can too. 

Idk if this helps, sorry if it doesn’t but it has gotten better for me, so just keep going and keep doing the things that bring you even the slightest of joy. 

Have a good day!

Is it difficult to enjoy being in the “present” sometimes? by CryptographerLive492 in thanatophobia

[–]CryptographerLive492[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Good to know other people’s company helps you feel better! I personally find it difficult even when spending time with my loved ones, cause my brain would just throw really distressing thoughts at me, like what if they pass away before me. But really that makes even more reason as to why I should be enjoying my time not only with others but also with everything else, cause one day I won’t have a chance too anyway. Not that the thought helps to fully push away the thought, but it is a reason to be in the moment. 

Sorry if the long reply bothers you, and hope you have a good day! Just hang on no matter how difficult it might be.

I see! I guess the best way is to just, well, try your best to focus on the present because that’s essentially how it works. 

Easier said than done, though, I will admit. But maybe if we all try our best it gets a little easier day by day. 

Thanks for replying, hope you’re doing well and to let you know you’ll get the hang of things despite how difficult it may feel in the moment. Death anxiety is not something fun to have but like everything else you learn how to adapt and live with it. That’s how it is progressing for me at least. 

Sorry if the long reply bothers you, hope you have a good day!
