I’ve posted before about being scared (terrified) of death and I know people have started threads on this before so I understand people are fairly split between a calm about it; and like me; abject horror.
I’m not a great believer in an afterlife, I know some death doulas recommend reading up on NDEs but I think these to be a creation of our dying brains, not another spiritual plain.
My question is, has anyone sort treatment; CBT/ NLP/ anything that has helped this? I’ve gone from considering it with dread at nighttime, to it consuming my every single waking thought (exhausting and not right)
I’m on 10mg of citalopram, but keen to deal with the issue in other ways as well as the medication. I have to say I haven’t noticed a huge difference from the pills but maybe that’s me.
I suppose I need some hope that it’s possible to banish these thought backs to a level of subconsciousness? The irony is this constant thought of death is ruining my life.
