Answer

Hello, you are very welcome to Ask Pat. 

You have asked why you always convince yourself that you are going to die. It sounds like this reasoning is something that you are worried about. 

Have you spoken to anybody about the way you are feeling? You have the right to talk to somebody, to an adult that you feel comfortable talking to. Talking things through with others can sometimes be a great help in understanding why we think and do things that we are unable to explain ourselves. You also have the right to help and support for whatever you may be going through. It would be important that you talk to someone to help you find out why you are having these thoughts.
