“We all want to become more than we are, we want to live forever, that is why we hate death and create the afterlife.”
Health anxiety/hypochondria and the fear of death go hand in hand. It’s like a joint relationship and one can’t live without the other, but thankfully there are ways out of this torture.
You see, the fear of death takes a person completely out of the present moment. Life turns into an all out battle against time, and in the end, we all lose anyway.
As a tennis professional in my early 20’s I was a free man. A man who was self disciplined, a man who followed his purpose in life, and someone who enjoyed every minute of his existence. Then almost out the blue health anxiety struck, and it struck hard. Years went by without any progress, and I sat in a car one day wondering, why go on.
Thankfully I Did Go On And Fully Recovered From Health Anxiety, And Now Have The Opportunity To Help You

Hi Dennis
How are you? I am loving your podcasts but this one “overcoming the fear of death” was a little hard for me. I am very spiritual, I am a yoga teacher, which allows me to go inwards spirtually. I also make jewellery which gives me a creative space. All these 5 tips I do but it still doesnt help with the present moment when I have my health anxiety. In the moment you cant think rationally everything seems alot harder. I do fear leaving this Earth leaving the beauty of this earth and nature. Fear of never seeing an amazing sunset again, fear of not seeing my partner again. Nothing seems to help this i guess attachment to this world.
Been there. I started off badly (a number of years back) in the fear of death challenge for myself, completely cutting my emotions out thinking it would make the journey towards the end easier. Can’t say that was too successful 😉 I have however accepted the life cycle much more. And although I also have a tough time thinking that far ahead from time to time, I can now live in the present moment much more since my health anxiety has lost its power over me. Looking forward to our 1 on 1 coaching session.
hi may i reply to jess. u have fear of death and health anxiety bcz first thing u practice yoga . which i did before and it worsen my anxiety bcz it makes u more aware of physical sensatiin.. second thing bcz u faith of god is v weak .. we all shall leave this world everybody has its time .. jesus and other prophets left the world …so who we are regarding to them .. i understand its only nervous system on high alert give u fear . just put this in u mind wht u feel i know is unbearable but its only overactive playing tricks
Do you fear death? Are you suffering from Thanatophobia? For those, who are clueless as to what the term means, it is used to characterize those who have a fear of death. Now, do not confuse this with Necrohphobia! There is a lot of difference in fearing from one’s death and fearing from the dead things or death of people.
Nost definitely the fear of dying was the driving force behind my health anxiety (hypochondria).
