I apologise if this is in the wrong place, not to sure of where things go right now.
I am struggling big time, my main struggle is fear..fear of most things. My counselor seems to think it is related to the OCD, but I am not so sure and really calling it something doesn't help...I just need to find a way to cope with it.
I have always been terrified of loosing someone I love, which makes me over protective and it is a place in my mind that as I tell my counselor you would not want to be..well then I started fearing my death, but only because I wouldn't be able to take care of those I love who need me...But now I am getting terrified at the thought of my own death and it seeming very real to me..Whether it be that I think I am going to have an aneurysm (sp?) because of a twitch or pain in my side, or my head is going to explode when having a headach..fear of heart attack and just anything that could happen. My fears are escalated at night for some reason in everything I am fearful of and have never been able to figure that one out, but everything that would seem unreal to me in the daylight, seems real at night..
Sorry, I don't want to turn this post into a chapter, so I'm trying to keep it short, but does anyone have any coping advice for this gripping fear of death..
