Fear of Aging and Death

        I am a 46 year old man who has been mildly depressed lately. I am considered bipolar II. Whenever I have gotten depressed since the age of about 30 my depression is accompanied by a debilitating fear of the shortness of life (aging) and mortality. I really can't figure out whether it is the aging or death that causes me more anxiety. The other day I noticed that these preoccupations were with me almost every moment of the day of course interfering with work efficiency and personal communications. I would like to share more in depth about the workings of my mind in regard to these phobias but first want to see if anyone out there who shares this or a similar problem will respond . Several years ago someone started on this subject and I was amazed how many people had similar suffering.

Mood-enhancing foods
