I have this weird phobia of death, I have these moments, (not often, thank goodness) when I get scared and I think then I am going to die that day and this usually happens at night and I can not sleep at night. I dont know if this is normal or not, but I dont like it.
Hubby thinks I am being silly for feeling this way, but I can't just turn it off.

Am I crazy or what???

You're not Nuts Hon! I've had that feeling constantly for the past month or so. It actually all started when my friend was killed last month. It made me realize how short life is & how I need to enjoy it as much as I can. It scares me a lot to think about death. I see how much it hurts my folks with me moving away from them. I can only imagine how awful it would feel for them if I had died. It just makes me shudder! I have noticed that I much more careful about things. I always wear my seatbelt now & I drive slower than before. It's just weird, but I know how you feel. You're not alone Kell!

The reason I asked, was because I was starting to wonder if I was getting panic attacks? Sometimes I get so upset and I dont know why, I just think that, like Kate said, something is going to take my soul away.
I hate feeling like this

Awwww Keylle - I don't think you are nuts girl! I have had the same thing happen to me after losing several family members in the past two years. That's the reason I don't go to "Viewings" -- I don't like coffins, much less seeing someone I know in one. It is very hard to get the image out of my mind plus I start thinking creepy thoughts about death. It takes me a while to get it out of my head.

((((((hugs)))))))

Thanks everyone, I really appreciate it.
I was really starting to worry that I was crazy! I guess it is normal to be fearful of death.

Kim - I am terrible at accepting death. I don't go to viewings either because I don't want the last memory of the person to be the one lying in a coffin. I would rather think about happy memories.
