I dont know what to do. I need help.
One night i was staring off into space and all of a sudden death came across me and i started thinking what it was going to be like to die.
The first thing on my mind was... 'you'll be put in a hole to rot; your have a rock over your grave with your name on it and be forgotten in 20-30 years after my grand children are born.
Im only 17 at the moment i know i have a lot of life left. But everyday and hour i cant stop thinking about it. Its affecting my work.schooling.and relationship. I dont live with my parents. i live with you boyfriend. i went to him with this problem and all he said was that i need to get over it because we all die and theirs nothing you can do about it. I went to one of my friends at work and talked to her about it. She brought me to church thinking that i would feel better about myself. I still think about it.
Sometimes i think about it to the point where my body starts to shake and i feel like im falling threw the ground. and everything goes black around me. I start to cry but then i think whats the point. NO im not thinking of killing myself or anything. Im just so scared. I really don't want to die. and i no its going to happen. But i just cant accept it. I work monday to friday 9-5 every morning and every night when i go to and from work my bus pass's two cemetery's and try to look at a new grave every time i go by them. Then i look at the people on the bus and start to freak out. I get heavy breathing and my hands and moth start tingling.

Im sooo scared , I think im scareing myself to death...
please. what do i do?

It's an unknown at this point.

But you can help with:
Organ donations
Advance medical directive
Durable power of attorney

All these will make your wished known.

You can buy a burial plot and determine if you want cremation. You can write your own obituary. You can pick out your funeral ahead of time.

If it bugs you, do something about what you can.

Don't even try to count the number of ways to die. All one can hope is that it's pain free. Going to bed and not waking up is preferred.

You should make a bucket list. If your so worried about dying make a list of things you want to do before it happens. You know dying happens it seems your more scared of not living than dying if that makes sense. If you can focus on living and having a great time you may focus less on dying. So start planning. Go swim with dolphins. Save money and go travel somewhere you've never been. Learn how to play an instrument. Learn to sail. Paint. Do things you've never done and never thought you could do. Skydive (although maybe save that one to last) Dying is easy but living truly living and being able to look back and say I did that and it was awesome! that's a little more challenging.

Contrary to what many Christian fundamentalists believe, the Bible actually says that when we die for now we literally "cease to exist, " meaning there's no more thoughts or plans or devices in the grave. The KJV has been ripped apart and people have added hell over the years, but if one truly searches the scriptures and studies the Bible in earnest, they will find that Sheol ALWAYS meant just "the grave." God says death is like sleep. However, the good news is He said there would be a resurrection and that we would live again without sickness, death or pain. I BELIEVE Christ is really the Son of God and was raised on the third day. He died in place of us so that he might grant us eternal life in the age to come. Ask God to give you Christ's Spirit and The Holy Spirit and you will have much more peace than before. I understand what you're going through. I always thought I would be buried alive or "not make it to heaven" when I was a fundie, but now I realize God and Christ are not some miserable failures playing a game on humanity like most professing Christians believe. He REALLY is THE SAVIOR OF THE WORLD and WILL ACTUALLY SAVE THE WORLD in the ages to come!!! Go to www.tentmaker.org and www.bibletruths.com for help.
