Hello, question owner! I'm Rose, and I'm here for you. I'm someone who is willing to listen and be there for you.
I'm so happy you're here looking for help. I truly believe that meeting is fate, and that meeting is the best moment. Let's take a look at what's been troubling you, and let's find the joy of life together!
1. Go to the hospital for a check-up and find that everything is perfectly fine with your body.
If there's nothing physically wrong, it's good to think about whether there might be something going on mentally. From what you've written, I can see you're feeling scared and helpless.
I'm so sorry you're going through this. How long has this situation lasted? Did it start with something that happened?
2. You have a very strong anxiety/how-to-deal-with-the-fear-of-sleeping-alone-in-the-dark-2393.html" target="_blank">fear inside.
It's totally normal to feel this way. Your intense fear of death makes you feel like you're about to die, and your fear is more pronounced in the presence of other people, giving you the feeling that you can't breathe.
It's totally normal to feel anxious when you're experiencing intense fear. It's also normal to feel this way when you're alone, exercising, or going out.
2. I really think you should go to a regular hospital's neurology department for a check-up.
Or you can always seek professional psychological counseling, where they'll be there for you with timely support and help.
3. It's totally normal to be afraid of death. In fact, it's a natural part of being human! But sometimes, our minds can play tricks on us and make us think that our fears are linked to external things.
According to psychoanalytic theory, your fear is caused by anxiety, which triggers the body's self-protection mechanism and produces fear, which is then linked to external circumstances. Examples include being alone, exercise, going on a long journey, etc.
This will help you see that your body is protecting you, which is really reassuring!
4. The behavioral theory suggests that you may have experienced something or heard someone say something that made you feel anxious. Over time, you may have associated your feelings about death with these situations, which is totally understandable!
Take some time to think about this. It might help to ask yourself if there was something that happened when you were younger that could explain why you feel this way now.
4. There's absolutely nothing wrong with exercise! It's just that you think it means death.
From the perspective of cognitive psychology, it's possible that your perception is an overestimation of the danger of the situations and things you fear. This can trigger excessive worry, which might lead to your fear.
5. There's another possibility, too! It could be your upbringing as a child.
I'm wondering if your parents often told you these things when you were young and scared you with death?
I totally get it. It seems like your inner anxiety about death is what's causing your fear, and it's making you avoid certain situations.
You've come here because you're ready to find the root of the problem, overcome your fear, and live a happy life. I'm so happy you've chosen me to help you!
Let's find out what's suitable for you!
It's totally normal to want to avoid facing your fears, but the more you do that, the more they'll grow.
When you face your fears, they'll have less energy. I know it can be tough, but compared to avoiding them, facing them head-on will gradually free you from their control. You've got this!
We can absolutely try it in a way that you'll feel comfortable with.
Let's try an exercise together! Find a comfortable sitting or lying position, close your eyes, and slowly relax your body from head to toe. Try to recall the scene that makes you feel afraid, and remember that you can handle it.
If you can't do it at first, don't worry! We can try a little bit at a time. Starting by learning to relax yourself, each improvement will build your confidence to approach the situation a little bit.
I truly believe in you!
I know this might feel a bit uncomfortable at first, but I promise you'll get used to it! This exercise is really important for helping you make small progress, so please try to do it as often as you can.
2. Try changing your perception.
It's so easy to get caught up in worrying when we overestimate the danger. We could all do with asking ourselves:
It's totally normal to feel afraid sometimes. We all do! So, let's ask ourselves: What am I afraid of? What do I fear will happen?
We all do it! Sometimes we just need to avoid things that make us feel afraid.
It's totally normal to feel afraid when something scary happens. It's good to write down how you feel when this happens, as well as asking yourself if these feelings are true. It can help to ask yourself: will my concerns really happen?
When you start to realize that it won't happen, just jot it down!
And the great thing is, each time you write, you're strengthening the confrontation with your past irrational thoughts. This helps you correct your perception, which in turn reduces your fear.
The third way is to accept yourself as you are and not pay too much attention to
It's okay to see your fears and your actions. You've encountered something that makes you uncomfortable, so try to understand yourself and be tolerant of yourself.
Then, you do what you need to do. This approach is really helpful because it doesn't reinforce your fear and avoidance behavior.
It's so important to remember that every time you fear and avoid, you're actually practicing this situation.
I really hope this helps!
I'm so happy you came here when you were having trouble. It shows you're willing to face your problems and your scared side, and you're willing to learn new things to help yourself get out of this tough spot. You've got a lot of strength inside you!
I love you, and I hope that all the good things in the world will be intertwined with you.
Comments
I can totally relate to feeling uneasy in crowded spaces and the anxiety that comes with it. It sounds like you're dealing with a lot of stress and fear, which can be really overwhelming. Maybe talking to a mental health professional could help sort out these feelings and provide some comfort.
Feeling like no one would notice if something happened to you is heartbreaking. It's important to reach out to friends or family who care about you. Sometimes just having someone listen can make a huge difference. Also, considering speaking with a counselor might give you strategies to cope with these thoughts.
The fear of exercising and leaving home due to concerns about your health is understandable but can be paralyzing. Perhaps starting with small steps, like gentle activities close to home, could help build confidence. Consulting with a general practitioner or a cardiologist may also ease your worries by getting a clear picture of your health status.
