Dennis, but what do I do if I have a tight throat and can't take full breaths? I know hospitals won't help me, so how do I have enough strength to get through this?

[@thepugsandtheprincess]

Thanks for this. Living like this for 40 years and it’s a daily battle. Trauma induced after having my dad die of a heart attack at the age of 39 in front of me while I was alone with him at the age of 15. I want to be free of this!

[@JohnCollins-n2l]

Thank you....... this is something I needed to hear 🙏

[@angelheart.444]

I'm so sorry that happened to you. Try to remember that was a rare occurrence that you, sadly, had to witness. My sister fell into a traumatic seizure and died in front of me, no matter how hard I tried to do CPR... the paramedics had to pull me off of her. I too have a fear of death... I'm simply afraid to die. Watched my mom die of lung and brain cancer before my sister died too. My problem about dying is... will my soul get stuck here or lost along the way and not make it to a beautiful place? My faith is strong but I still fear dying. Will it be like suffocating or drowning? Neither my mom or sister had a pleasant death. I try to remind myself that every death is different and that I have a long life still ahead of me, but I still struggle with the whole subject of dying. You're not alone my friend.

[@cednissaart6491]

I usually never comment any KZbin video but this one I feel I have to. I’m 49 and living through death anxiety since 3 years after having some health issues. I could deal with it as I knew it was anxiety. Not living my life fully of course but well… alive anyway. 3 weeks ago I had a heart attack. I was rushed to ER and then for a cardiology procedure. They placed 2 stents. One of my arteries was blocked at 99%. That was quite close. I’ve been asked to immediately stop smoking, change diet, walk 1h a day and I’m having a lifetime treatment. I was released from hospital a couple of days later. So here I am 3 weeks later. I was so scared that I listened what I was told and changed my whole routine. But death anxiety is still here. I have symptoms in my chest and I don’t know if it’s anxiety or if it’s happening again. I opened KZbin, found this video (first time in this channel), and felt I had to comment before sleeping in case I would never wake up again. Thanks for that and thanks to whoever will read this. Take care everyone.

[@allisonwindass1368]

Every single word of this resonates. I have spent years living with debilitating anxiety and fear of dying. I tried medication, CBT, you name it. I stumbled across people's experiences of NDE, which led to a multitude of openings to practising mindfulness and meditation. It has been profound 😊 My anxiety and fear of death are significantly reduced. I am at last LIVING, and it's simply amazing, deep, meaningful and so peaceful. I'm seeing life through a different lens. It takes dedication and some days are challenging when my ego tries to interfere. Persistence pays off, believe me 😊

[@sidneybuckaloo]

Can you walk me through any of the steps or specifics you did to help you? I truly want to be rid of this. It’s so hard to both know what you’re doing is taking away actual moments of your life and somehow still let it happen.

[@fayyazgaming5873]

what kind of meditation?

[@RommelQuilantang-f7t]

To die is actually to go home...this gave me great comfort....thank you so much

[@oliviaholt1937]

“Preparing for death” this was a huge part of my life last year. I found you on you tube and started the videos, surrender sessions, joined the HAU. I was sure I would be here for Christmas, I started a journal - letters to my kids so they knew how loved and wanted they are unlike my reality with my parents. This doesn’t plague every day and I try to remember those moments of panic “will pass” it always does. But some days it’s grips me like putting on a big black coat- feels strangely comforting but suffocating at the same time. I’m still very much on the journey. I believe life doesn’t end and there is a beautiful reality when we die but my fear is leaving my babies. I want to give them everything I didn’t - parents to love and be there through as much of their life as I can. I’m working on it ❤

[@bee3027]

Been living with this most of my life. It is exhausting, happy I found this video.

I needed to hear this. I was beginning to take an attitude of "what is the point?" I was seeing everything as futile. I didn't even want to exercise or workout. What for? To be the healthiest corpse in the cemetery? Great content Dennis. I think revisiting this topic from time to time is important. Especially living in the west where we see death as a taboo subject and basically never talk about it. Thanks again 👍

My anxiety frequently "passes my threshold for stress" and I obsess about death. This video is very comforting.

To hear about others trauma and experiences and stories are so unpleasant for me. I felt like I was in control after this video just to get sucked right back in by comment's of why everyone has this fear. I will respect the anxiety world. Everyone doesn't need to know your story of the how and why. This is why we all have fear and anxiety.

[@ryanlengacher]

Something that scares me is the fact that we don’t really know what consciousness is. So how do we know when someone is dead that they may still be conscious, like in a paralysis state? What if your body, your brain, everything dies, but your consciousness remains? Like there’s no way of knowing.

I feel for you so much bc I’ve been through that also just just re-read what you wrote for a second. You said you’d rather die than to keep going through that (“that” being a fear of death). To be honest, that’s what’s helped me through my suffering was to kinda say “I’d rather die than live like this all day every day, to always live in fear”.

Im really on a role today usually don't comment , but YES thats my exact cycle, wake up thinking what disease do I have that I don't know I have, then after I get the kids lined out, dropped off... go walk about 10 miles literally. Then ruminate all afternoon and maybe google symptoms if Im having any . All the while trying to work from home and not doing that very well. In the evening I get a break and feel somewhat normal and calm because everyone made it back home safely and no disaster happened. Then at bedtime the HA can flare up again. This is a typical day if Im having an "episode" of HA.

[@philipholding]

I have found in my psychotherapy career, that patients with death anxiety are mostly not feared of death. They are feared of the fear of death. This is were appropriate and individual graduated exposure therapy comes in. People have many triggers reminders, that they go to great lengths to avoid, but at the same time, they are attracted ( selective attention) to unwanted stimul. Exposure therapy helps them to become indifferent (habituated) to the negative stuff.

[@TheAnxietyGuy1]

Thank you for your input.

[@TheNicoprod]

You’re the only one out there who includes the spiritual dimension into this anxiety problem. Of course it’s a problem of interpretation, it’s a conflict in the psyche and bad habits of thinking. No amount of vitamin supplements or whatever can really fix this. The truth is we live in a virtual reality via our thoughts. We must learn or remember how to live in reality.

[@SacredVisions-]

I totally agree that’s deep

Actually this bottom moments forced me to aweke realize reality perception is flexible depending on state I,m currently in that's how begin trying fucking everything to get that state and ironically enough I get beyond ego when surrender to the sadness i felt then and rejected desire to" save myself" from that feelings i knew that it's not working and surrender!! It's turnout to be most freeing experience I've ever had. Fear of let go control and sadnes somehow turnout to the most blissful moment day that I will never forget the pure presence no thought couldn't have any impact on me becouse there was.

[@TheAnxietyGuy1]

See these ideas, sensations, mental imagery as a proactive response and nothing more. It is not you, nor do you have to follow in its footsteps. The key is in detaching from thinking that it's real and your true guidance system, these are not there to tell you what to do, they are asking us what to do. So we must consciously upgrade what things means as often as we can throughout the day through our thoughts, words, actions.

There is a strange contradiction that puzzles me: how can someone suffer from depression ("Tired with all this, for restful death I cry") and health anxiety ("My pinky twitched, OMG, OMG, I'M GONNA DIE!)?

I understand what you’re saying intellectually when you say that we’re not in touch with reality when we’re so fixated on death -but my question is, aren’t we technically in touch with reality? Death is fundamentally inevitable, and that is reality. Also, thank you so much for this video, it’s extremely helpful! 🙏🏼

[@TheAnxietyGuy1]

Meaning, we are out of touch with the true understanding and respect for dying. We've been conditioned and conditioned ourselves to believe it is the end, when in truth it is only a transition. The reality that our lower selves (ego) wants us to believe is only an interpretation through the lenses of turmoil and catastrophe, and we can begin seeing it for what it really is.

[@TheAnxietyGuy1]

Feeling, not being :)

[@dennisward43]

I have a new technique for anxiety reduction. I imagine negative thoughts that pop into my head as balls. For example, if you like baseball imagine when an unwanted thought comes into your head, someone pitches a aball at you and you swing an imaginary bat at it and you shout in your mind "Bad thought, bat it away"' and the ball goes flying out of the park. And you give a huge cheer. Or it could be a cricket ball or a golf ball going a long way down the fairway or a 20 foot putt going in the hole. Or similarly a succesful basket ball throw or a football going into the net. Whatever works for you.

Interesting...I didn't interpret my health anxiety in this way before..but it makes alot of sense. I am not ultimately afraid of dying; I am safe in Jesus. But that human instinct to stay alive has morphed into this perspective of fear and what ifs and what's wrong with me constantly stream of thinking....I'm ready to be done with that.

Glad to hear the commitment.

Anyone else afraid of food? Since a few years I’m so afraid I might react allergic to something so my diet is very strict and I don’t eat outside of my house 🥲

[@melanieburridge2295]

Lived with fear of death for over 50 years.

[@gabrielamagana7882]

My fear of dying is the unknown 😔 I Have Religion Trauma for over 30 years it’s been so hard trying to make peace with death. As I grew up I was raised around believing evil more than good. I was never taught the good after death but only the bad. I fear death everyday because I know I will have to face it one day and that’s the only thing I have no control over. 😔 I don’t know what’s next after death and it terrifies me all the days of my life. Just thinking about it makes my lips shake. I’m really trying to believe in my heart there is good after death but when you weren’t raised to believe in a loving god it’s hard to really believe it because you were not taught that as a child from your parents. My fear has been bigger than my faith for as long as I can remember. Fear has been a part of my life it’s all I have ever known to do and I need to let fear go and make peace with it but I can’t find the way out 🚪 😔

[@tommycains507]

I am exactly like this too. My wife doesn’t understand me at all. Thinks I can just stop it like that. I’m 45 now and have been like this my whole life. I started going to church about two years ago but my fear is way to strong. It’s terrible feeling and life. Hopefully my friend we can find relief soon

[@gabrielamagana7882]

@@tommycains507 hang on my friend. It can be tough not having someone understand your pain because they’re not going through it. The only good thing about all of this is knowing you’re not alone going through this. As it can seem that we are, we’re not. I always thought I was the only person in this world afraid of it all. But as I realize there’s more of us out there going through the same thing it brings me some kind of peace knowing I am not alone through this journey. There are more of us out there and it feels a little less lonely. I stopped going to church honestly because I can’t get past my religion trauma. And to be honest I don’t feel god at church because that is where my trauma started. I’m learning it’s okay to let go of things that make you uncomfortable. My church is my home 🏠 🤍 I don’t have to be perfect for anyone but just be myself at home with god and my Bible and I’m letting him guide me page by page. Maybe one day I will be strong enough to walk back in a church. All we can do is try to enjoy each day as it comes and keep fighting that fear that haunts us. Something that has been helping me is avoiding, horror movies, foul music, anything that involves darkness and fear I stay away from. I listen to godly music, watch comedy movies, romance, family movies. I read Christian Books 📚 And it’s helped. I go for walks at the park, eat healthy and stay active. I pray 🙏🏻 you and I and everyone else that is going through this are able to make peace 🕊️ with death one day.

This may be quite triggering to people who are watching this video, in which case, please don't read this as this is quite a vent. I suppose I am looking for a solace of some sort. I suppose I fear dying. It is stopping me from truly enjoying my time, thesedays. I can always tell myself that this will be inevitable and that I will not have any control over it, however it makes me feel like I am wasting my time, that I am meant to be spending every second with family - but every moment spent means another moment taken away from being able to, perhaps, experience other things I'd want to do. However, the thought of the inevitability of death means that those things don't really matter, as I value doing them, and not the experience of having done them, if that makes sense. The present is going going to pass in an untouchable memory, and I can never relive that moment truly ever again in the way it was, because it is gone and it feels like, even if it has been years later, only a blink of time has passed. I miss the way I felt as a child, and I miss the days that have passed - sometimes even while I am living in them, while they are going on in the present. I am experiencing my parents aging and I cry oftentimes when I see them. I will die one day too. And this absolutely terrifies me, because it is a very grim reminder that my time and their time here is temporary and it is constantly ticking. And if I am doing nothing worthwhile with it, it is gone forever and I cannot get it back. And when I die that will be it. No more future to look forward to. And no more past to experience - which, kind of makes the worthwhile moments obsolete, in a weird way. I love being alive to the point that the fear of not-living makes living unbearable. This is something that is constantly on my mind, thesedays. To the point where I am nostalgic for the present moment, unable to live in it unburdened. I have been on this earth for 21 years, and have known the same desperate feeling that everyone I love will either become a memory, or I will be unable to experience them again since I was around 7. I am not sure what this is but I have learned the word chronophobia a few days ago and think that that might apply and that that might be similar to the fear of dying, no?

My health anxiety revolves around this, at 13 I watched my dad suffer until he died of cardiac arrest during a surgery to open the main artery to his heart. As a child i just watched as i got older im 33 i realized it was because of his poor choices, not drinking water caused his diabetes. No exercise no yearly visits or meds he basically killed him self. 😢 i now do everything to care for my body i just need to get out of the fear cycle.

[@Admo-backtothe80s]

I can’t even take any medication be it natural or prescribed by the doctor or psychiatrist without my stupid brain telling me i’m going to die on the spot after taking it, and debilitating panic attacks happen leaving me shaken and struggling to get out of bed. Suicide is stronger during this time.

I have been recovered from crippling health anxiety for about three years now but this is the one thing that lingers. It comes and goes but I do notice it more when I have become lazy in my practices and too “busy” with life. Thank you for this video, I really needed it right now 🫶

[@TheAnxietyGuy1]

Yes, staying 'militant' in our daily practices is key.

[@MelaninLuxeLyfe]

Wow this is interesting . I have definitely trained my subconscious into reacting and using auto triggers .. from googling. Yo going back and fourth to the er over 20 times , believing in ideas , wow . I didn’t know I could do that to myself . So here I am at the point where I’m creating new ideas , a new identity , and a new perspective. I love how you said mentally and triggers are not in our control .. this whole time I was trying to control it . And got mad when it didn’t go my way . My body still repeats certain situations that I been through in the past , like going to sleep at night preparing for a panic attack , or even preparing for death . And that feeling lingers for days and days as long as I continue feed it . It actually happened last night and the feeling is still there . Trying to allow , surrender , and still live my life even though I feel like my heart will just stop , or something will happen .. I had this feeling countless of times and always remained fine .. so I guess it takes time .. I’ll give myself that 🤎 it’s okay , I’m learning each and every day
