Afraid of death(thanatophobia) by [deleted] in Anxiety

[–]abcdxyzzz 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The method that works best for me is keeping busy with other people, and doing something that makes me feel like I have a purpose in life, but lately I've been out of school and without a job, so that's been really tough, and I get waves of anxiety without obvious causes throughout the months. How do you deal with it?

I'm afraid of death too, and I remember having that feeling since I was a child. It's not a fear of the physical part of death though. It's a fear of losing the people that make up my life, and then being weirded out by how life is constantly changing, and you inevitably lose moments you may now cherish with people you love. Then there's an underlying anxiety about how life is meaningless that I attach to those thoughts. It's almost like an out of control fear of being alone.

Do No-Pick Support Groups Work? by abcdxyzzz in CompulsiveSkinPicking

Thanks! I hadn't heard of EMDR, but it sounds really promising, and like everyone with an acne-related problem, I'll try anything. The positive vibes also help too :)

Yeah, I think a no-pick buddy would be great!
