I keep getting anxiety attacks as i'm drifting off to sleep because of my fear of dying. how can i get over my fear?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Release phenomena: As we relax/let go, we can suddenly become fearful or go on high alert because of letting our guard down. Fear of dying is the ultimate letting go of control and control of the uncontrollable is at the root of panic attacks. Please see a mental health professional who specializes in anxiety disorders to learn skills to cope. Peace and good health.
