I can't stop thinking that I'm at the half-point of my life and, soon,
I won't be here, anymore!! Realistically, I know, soon or later, it
happens to everyone, but, I can't handle the thought of it happening, to,
me!!! How do you stop the 24/7 thoughts?!?

Hi Phyllis. Sorry you're still having this awful problem.
I also suffer from terrible anxiety from time to time, but nothing about death and dying fortunately. (except that sometimes when I have a panic attack it feels as if I'm dying!).

Have you ever looked at some of the articles about your fears over at PsychCentral? There are some specific articles pertaining to your fears.

e.g.

There are more... just type in a search engine something like "Psych Central Anxiety about dying" or similar words.

There are also some excellent resources in the Sticky post at the top of the messages here.
