The fear of death is acsociated with several things. It's a fear of: -Pain without happiness in the end (going on with life, pain-free) -The unknown of what will happen after death (heaven, hell, nothing?) +With this one may be afraid of going to hell +Or maybe someone if afraid of dying, and nothing happening. That this is the one life, and it's going by too quickly (the person who thinks this is typically the one 'missing out' on life; hasn't done anything truely exciting or anything.)
I have a fear of nothing happening after death. I get over it by just not thinking about it, and when I see a movie or something, I just ignore the deaths (it's a movie, not true.) As for movies based on true stories...it's the past, you can't help it now. Those people's souls have passed.

Hey by: Anonymous
hey ashley. i know its a hard concept but i really do think that you stuggle with the unknown. as a christian i have all of my hope and faith in God, knowing that whatever is going to happen to me in 'then end' it will be in his hands. i would strongly suggest getting in tough with a pastor of a church, not to get him to 'analize you' or creep you out, but just someone that can answer your questions (much better then i can at least) and just to somehow let it out.. it may take a long time to warm up to the idea, but God will be with you no matter what situation you are going through.
Ill be praying for you. God Bless.

I know how it feels... by: Gabriel
I am 15 and I had that fear since I was 6(I think) But everytime someone is talking about death, life, future, ect. My heart beats fast and I feel like crying...
Usually it happens at night or I'm about to take a shower for some reason. I felt the same thing about the church thing too. Things pop into my mind like, "What if there is no God and when we die all where going to see is a pitch black soundless room..." And I can't stop thinking like that!!(I just felt a hit when I type that by the way...sorry.)
I know I'm not the only one that has this phobia but around were I live I'm the only one that has that problem!
The thing that I hate is that sometimes it hits me when I'm in school which is the worst! And I accidentally Scream out, "Oh C**P!" or "Oh MAN!"
Sorry for leaving a long comment but I feel what you feel too...see ya later....

Me too! =o by: Helena
I have necrophobia also. I think it's the worst phobia because it's pretty much incurable, since it's, like, the only certain thing in life--the end of it. I don't have panic attacks much recently, but it's affected me for as long as I can remember.
The largest panic attacks in my whole life were nearly identical, with me sobbing and screaming "I don't wanna die!!" to my mother, while she kept on trying to go to bed because she was tired. They happened at around 6 and 12 years old and probably lasted about an hour each, probably more; my memory's not too good.
Anyway, I know how you feel. =(
