Hi All, I wasn't sure where to put this. 

For all of my life, I've had a very strong fear of dying. It gets triggered
by things l see on TV or read online like about someone dying. I can't
understand the idea of ceasing to exist - not thinking, feeling, seeing
my loved ones, the universe going on without me? When I get triggered, I have a panic attack. I had one the other night and it was
very scary. This happens every few months. I calm myself down by
thinking I will go to heaven and see everyone I've ever loved and stay
there for eternity. 

Does anyone else have this fear, and how do you deal with it?
