As a smoker I think of mortality a lot.
Plus I feel a bit kindred spirits with the older folk in life.

@Speedy Thank you for posting about this. I go through this too. I am sorry you do. The voices upset and worry me about this and can get quite heavy and burdensome to live with. It makes me think of death far too much. I want to enjoy the moment too.

Yes hobbies help. Enjoy doing things that you like. Need to slowly increase time spent on hobbies and useful things and forget about unwanted and not so useful things.

Ive spoken to many very elderly people, in Care Homes whilst i was Nursing - and they always said, that they wished they stopped worrying too much. And the end of the day - we come from nothing - and we go back to nothing.
Your meant to be enjoying your life in the moment, not picking out the latest model of an oak coffin.

Try to change how you see death. For some people its a peaceful thing, i think making it less distressing would be easier. Its impossible to just not think of something unfortunately.

Iām a hypochondriac and I think about death a lot.
The thought of my consciousness being gone for eternity scares the sh-it out of me.

Death is an unavoidable part of the cycle of life, yet many of us do everything we can to avoid accepting our mortality. But coming to terms with the inevitability of death can help teach us to live more fully in the here and now.
