Do you think about death?

[Moley1]

Last night I had some sort of episode. I woke up with a deep feeling of unease that I wouldn’t see morning. I laid on my back and it was like something passed through me and I sat up with a start. I asked my husband to phone an ambulance and got out of bed. I have never felt so ill in my life. I felt so bad that I told my husband that I thought I was going to die and told him I loved him. It was terrifying.
Unfortunately our local hospital was at capacity for walk ins and we were in a queue for an ambulance. My husband drove me to another hospital further away. I was still suffering with chest pain and palpitations. All I could think is that I was going to die on a country road in the middle of the night and my husband would have no support.
So yes, unless it’s swift and sudden, the thought of death does scare me, and I used to be a nurse !

I have had Atrial Fibrillation and a low heat rate for years now and often have these feelings. Not pain but feelings that something isn’t right and that I am about to pass away. You could have something similar and if it is then it is down to your heart rate fluctuating. My doctor told me if you are going to have a heart condition this is the best one to have. Get yourself checked out and I wish you all the best x

I do worry. Each birthday.
Don't want to die young (under 60), don't want to die alone (as in my sleep).

I used to be quite obsessive of it when I was younger, it would keep me awake at night. I haven't really lost many people in my life other than my grandparents. I don't know how I'll cope when my parents pass away, can't imagine life without them. I can't even think about anything happening to my child, all I know is that I couldn't continue living without him. I've made my parents aware of this. I get very upset hearing or reading about the death of children, an ex friend of mine allowed her son to be murdered by her partner, I'll never forget it, it affects me to this day.

I spent 12 hours in A and E having ECG, blood tests and chest X-rays. There was nothing physically wrong with me. I’m going to have a telemetry box for 24 hours to see if I have got AF. My heart was absolutely racing during the episode and sim scared it will happen again.
Thank you for your king thoughts x

I don’t believe in religion or afterlife. I know when the lights go off for me that’s it.

I do think about death often. How will it come for me and when? Will it be quick or a lingering illness.

I worry about dying whilst my children are young. Apart from me and my husband they have nobody.

I lost my mum 2 days ago and everything is terrifying me at the moment. I’ve had to ask my brother and sister in law to help sort the funeral because I can’t cope with everything. I’m coping with day to day life because I have too but at the moment I just feel lost and so overwhelmed. I’m living life in slow motion and so scared that when reality kicks in then it’s gonna hit like a boomerang. I just miss my mum and feel like I’ve lost my best bed friend

sending you so much love
