Does anyone suffer from Thanatophobia?

Hi, I suffer from Thanatophobia (the fear of death/dying) and sometimes when I think to hard about it I'll get panic attacks, and one of them recently caused me to start suffering from depersonaliztion. I don't feel like anything is real anymore and my sense of physical touch is all wonky. I also am starting to feel like I'm only alive when I'm dreaming and I was just wondering if anyone had similar things going on. Thanks

Yes! This is exactly what happens to me and it scares me and I get extremely bad anxiety from it.
it happens to me alot of times the best way to deal with it is make your self busy with the things you love ..and take deep breath and hold it for maybe 10 seconds and release it slowly ..i hope that's work for you
