I used to be a panicky person constantly taunted by the though of imminent death. I would never go a day without thinking about it at least once and I could come up with a way I could die for almost every situation.
But I had a revelation one night in a dream. I was sick and dying, I was scared but my relatives were comforting and talked to me calmly and reasonably. I felt very very tired and very peaceful as I drifted out of consciousness. I looked forward to a long sleep since I was tired. And since I am religious, I looked forward to heaven. This was an amazing experience and when I woke up I thought long and hard and realized that death is a peaceful thing. Not something I want to do, but not something I dread either.
I also had dreams where I suddenly died (like being shot). It was painful for just a short second but then I felt warm and wonderful as I blacked out into blissful unconsciousness.
I hope others can have these experiences.

I’m 13 years old and a very serious hypochondriac. I get serious panic attacks ever day about every hour or so. It is driving me insane!
My worst fears are a cerebral aneurysm and a sudden heart attack. So I am constantly, out of habit, checking my pulse rate and getting panic attacks with every little headache.
My hands start sweating a lot and I feel light headed and dizzy like if I don’t see a doctor in minutes, I will go crazy. Of course, I always somehow manage to force myself over these attacks but it is extremely hard, especially at school.
Today I came home in the middle of first period because I had one of these attacks so I faked sick and went to the nurse.
My mom is setting up regular appointments for me to see a brain doctor and a cardiologist.
Can anyone offer any help at all? It would be much appreciated!

This isn’t your run-of-the-mill anime with girls in school uniforms preforming amazing inhuman feats. Its the farthest thing from it in the best way possible. The animation and pure genius of the series captures the mind entirely and it makes you think…it really makes you think. The music fits the series better than almost any anime I’ve seen. Take some time to just watch this 13 episode series and you surely will not regret it.
You will walk out of the series with a sense of hope, sadness, celebration and remembering.
