HI,
You are not alone. I have worried constantly my whole life. I just recently began therapy and I am about to start medication. I believe they both can help a lot. Think about it, if you waste your whole life worrying about dying you are not really living anyway. I have finally come to terms with that. I still get "impending doom" feelings sometimes and I suffer with night time panic attacks. But I am getting better. You WILL NOT always be like this. You WILL get better. Take control, like you said , and read some self help books, go to therapy if you can afford it, start some meds. This is in a book called "language of letting go." This exerpt helped me a lot.
What if we knew for certain that everything we're worried about today will work out fine? What if...we had a guarantee that the problem bothering us would be worked out in the most perfect way, and at the best possible time? Furthermore, what if we knew that three years from now we'd be grateful for that problem, and its solution? What if...we knew that even our worst fear would work out for the best? What if we had a gurantee that everything thats happening in our life was meant to be, planned just for us, and in our best interest? What if... we knew the future was going to be good, and we would have an abundance of resources and guidance to handle whatever comes our way?
i hope this helps.
