Why can’t I be normal

Lately i’ve been getting up in the middle of the night with anxiety. I wake up thinking about that I am scared of death. I just don’t understand why am so anxious about dying when that’s just part of life.

May be that's because of some other thought deep down in your unconscious. Whenever that happens just do deep breathing exercise. You will surely be fine within minutes. smiley

I'm sorry that you're dealing with this anxiety. It is completely normal to feel anxious about death. There is so much unknown about it and that can be scary. Doing something to take your mind off your anxious thoughts can help, like thinking about the things you are grateful for, or watching a show or reading a book. Also making sure that we live in the moment and enjoy each day is important. What you're feeling is completely normal. If you are still struggling with this anxiety, maybe talking to a friend or family member may help?

I hope your anxiety gets better. Take care!

@affectionateStrawberries6204 I'm sorry to hear that you've been experiencing such anxiety. And don't worry, it's okay to think about death or feel scared since we aren't sure what can happen next. There is so much that is not known which can influence the thought of "what happens if I die?" which could potentially lead to worrying about death.

I believe there is another thought connected to the reason of why you could be feeling that way. Perhaps you could draw a mindmap with the fear in the center. Then you could write what contributes to it. I also recommend that you try some breathing excercizes.

I hope your anxiety gets better, take care!

k totally get that, but believe it or not there is peace you can be a part of, once you know what is after death (the afterlife, eternity, heaven, etc.) is when you find that peace. once you trust in Jesus and give him your heart you can rest upon the fact that you are accepted into the kingdom of heaven and the fear of death will slowly decrease, (not to say it will completely disappear), there is life after death and ultimately where YOU decide to spend eternity is up to you. sending you love, hope you will accept this message and truly think about it in your heart🤍
