Post Fear of death

Anyone know why a person at my age, 17, suddenly becomes overwhelmed with thoughts of 'what if i die in a car crash' The only solution I can think of is to be a really careful driver, but that just makes me vulnerable to the aggressive drivers and I become more nervous

Angela, You can get carried away with
"What If" thinking. I did and it caused me
to have panic attacks while driving. It took
me years to be able to drive alone again.

You just have to watch the other drivers on the road and ask God to keep you safe.

Question for you Angela:
Why are you afraid to die? Are you afraid of the pain that could be associated with it? Or fear of what happens after death?
Here's something interesting my psychology professor taught. He said that if you find yourself having a panic attack, or an anxiety attack, if you try to make yourself have a WORSE attack while it's happening (esentially, try to make it all worse) then it will get better. It seems like an odd way to go about it, but think about it. If you try to make yourself fear something MORE, it just gets ridiculous and instead of the fear controlling you, YOU control the fear.
Take care- and seek some help if this becomes a big enough problem that it's controlling your life, ok???

I had a fear of death and dying for 13 months. The possibility of me dying during those months was very real. Many of my friends died during that time. I had survivors guilt for many years. But, no fear of death afterwards. I was saturated with that fear so long it and other things made me go to drinking and drugs and depression.
I think I would trade all that back for fear of death.

I have the same problem, and I am only twenty. i am scared to die. i am scared to know what happens after I die. I think about it all the time. It doesn't interfere with my life, but it is annoying sometimes.
