I have a fear of dying and I didnt used to.I worry that I will die.People I love will die..It just doesnt make sense that we're supposed to enjoy life knowing it will be over at any minute.I cannot enjoy life thinking this way.

When I'm have panic/ anxiety attacks, they are generally based completely on the fear of dying. I was raised catholic, but never agreed with the church on multiple things.

It even overtook my initial fears and anxiety.
