I'm really scared of dying ever since I was young and I still am young. When I think about it I think of what will happen I won't hear anything c or do anything at all then I get sad and scared and I feel sick and it feels worse the longer I think of it and I just can't handle it. In the past I've got depressed and thought of suicide then I thought of that and it happened again... also I don't like religion because its boring. I do believe in god and all that other stuff but its just boring and I don't like it at all... I don't know what to do but at time I have asked god for help and why he has done stuff for me etc... and well you I don't know what to do and I don't really want to go to councling because every time I have I went to a mental hospital...

Well, I guess there is nothing wrong with being afraid of death. I´m afraid of death too. We all are. It´s just that everyone views it in a different way. Some might think of it as of a blessing, others as of a black end...

Suicide is pointless, I am guessing that you're about 14-16 (judging by the way you write). You should always think of it as of your last choice and thinking of it will make it worse. And death comes with suicide, and if you are scarred of death, then you should be scared of suicide too.

And if you are really thinking about suicide, speak too someone you trust, who is your friend and who you know can make you feel better. Or try someone on AMHD, if you are too shy.

Just do something with it, before you are too desperate. Then it´s too late.

If it is any comfort to you, the older you get the less afraid you are of death. Your life experiences will change as you grow older and you will come to understand things much better and hopefully gain some personal beliefs from your experiences they will stand you in good stead when times are tough. My advice is to stop thinking about death and start thinking about happier things. Our thoughts effect our mood and our mood effects our body. Plan to think about happier things, read inspirational books and watch funny movies. Life doesn't have to be so tough.

Don't let death get in the way of your happines
Everybody has to die some time or another ' don't waste you'r life worring that's the worst thing you can do
Live you'r life for what it is.
Make the most ofit.
So at least you can say I lived my life to best I could and I don't regreat a thing
When your life is over either you w2on't know because your dead or you won't mind because you will bee in hevan
Don't worry I don't

Hi, sniperblade9!

Since you say that you do believe in God, then how about going to a church of some kind? There, you'll be likely to find others like yourself, with whom you could possibly become friends, who also have the same fears as you do and who'll be able to share with you in person about how they deal with the fear and what how they view death in relation to their belief in God.

Just a thought for you...

Thanks!

Not all churches are boring. Try looking for non denominational churches that are called things like The Rock,
If you give me your general location (state and county)
I can look up some for you.
Some Assemblies of God churches are not boring either.

As far as your being afraid of dying, the younger you are the more you are likely to worry about it. You need to learn to stop obsessing on the things you can not change and enjoy the time God has given you here and now. Obsessing on what if's and when evers isn't going to accomplish a single good thing.
I find it rather ironic that you are afraid to die but you consider suicide as a way out.
Go to a good non boring church/Bible study and look for your answers. You very well could be feeling the way you do because you know and hunger for something more than the average life that many people are complacent with.

So you have been admitted to a mental hospital?

Are they treating you for the depression? Any medications or counseling?

In Rapid City there is free or greatly reduced cost mental help.

I'll look up a few places and post them for you.

Try contacting any one of these on the 2 sites,they can and will help to get free help.

Before you feel like taking a drastic measure,like suicide,give them a try.

KBC

Also, whenever you want to talk to someone to express your feeling you can call 1-800-273-talk. All calls are confidential and they are ooen 24 hours/7 days a week.

All I can say is talk to Jehovah's Witnesses, they will give you the answer from the bible, not what they think. They have several leaflets to cover the subject, but the best way of all is to ask. No matter what others say about them, all they want is for people to live forever in happiness, that's what the bible teaches.
God bless you and keep you safe.
