In reply to fear of death, posted by bassman on March 16, 2006, at 16:32:52
> I'm a middle-aged male and the last two years I've been obsessed with fears about death-which sometimes end up in a short, but intensely fearful period. I have been diagnosed with panic disorder in the past and take Wellbutrin and Klonopin. I have no physical problems and my parents lived into their 90's.

> Here's my question:is it most probable that my fears and thoughts about death are symptoms of depression, or is there another possibility?I dont think so. Many depressed people commit suicide, so I dont think thats it.
I dont think fear of death by many humans is uncommon at all, but to all things there is a beginning and an end.
Its not logical to fear something that you can do nothing about, and if you suffer from a chronic medical condition, I would see it as a blessing that it will finally come to an end.
My .02 cents
