My therapist says that when I'm stressed I think of death like other people think of running away to Tahiti.

I try to think of it now as a pleasant daydream like running away to Tahiti, and just as impractical. In both daydreams the practicalities of the escape are minimized. I'm pretty sure most people wouldn't care for Tahiti as much as they think they would. Or death.

Maybe you can work, when you aren't so stressed, at creating your own Tahiti you can run away to? One place I used to use was curled up under my therapist's desk. It has a large area with no drawers so it wouldn't actually be very uncomfortable and it would feel very safe. Wouldn't a corner under, say, Dr. Bob's desk feel safer than what would happen to you at death? Which is really pretty gross, if you make the mistake of thinking about it.
