I just learned about Appendicitis and I'm freaking out. The thought of my appendix bursting randomly makes me desperately want to crawl out of my body. I've seen too many things in my life that have made me so afraid and worried about the pain that comes with death (I used to pursue forensic science until it was too much for my anxiety; we had to watch people get killed in order to learn how to recreate the events of a crime scene). I'm a healthy 24 year old yet i fear and think about death every single day of my life, specifically the pain associated with it. Does anyone else have this fear? Or know any tricks to cope with it?
