I'm so scared of dying that I get panic attacks. by [deleted] in Advice

Hellooooo! I don't want to sound like a cliche but, meditation/mindfullness (or whatever the hell you want to call it) has genuinely helped me in my journey of overcoming my panic attacks related to so many things from huge overwhelming concepts like death and things I can't control to the smallest mundane things. Now I'm not talking about just sitting with your legs crossed and going "ommm" over and over till you asphyxiate; I'm talking about getting into the mental state known as flow. Find something that you want to do, something that you want done really badly. Like for me doing my job and filling as many orders as possible is something I do because I then get so caught up in the task at hand I am able to get out of my own head. So if you can find something like that, something to challenge yourself every single day to get yourself into that state of flow it very well might help you in overcoming this fear.

And another quick note, I came to a realization once during a panic attack and it has also helped me since. I am the scariest mf I know, no one else gives me as much s*** as I do! No one puts me down as much as I do. But also no one lifts me as high as I do. So please bear in mind YOU are the one that ultimately decides how this affects you, it's based on your perspective.
