      Yes! I want to keep “feeling”, I want to live even if that includes sadness in it. I don’t want to sleep and not wake up forever. I dont want to die and make the people I know sad, nor do I want to outlive them. I don’t want to eventually be forgotten and never be mentioned ever again.

No matter how good of a person you were, you didn’t believe and follow the Bible and go straight to hell and burn for eternity and tormented. Or what if nothing happens? What if you become a ghost? What if you’re trapped between sides? What if you start life over again as a baby and don’t remember but it’s the year huh were born again all over

    I’m afraid of letting go of my anxiety because it feels like I’ve given up once I accept death. I feel like if I keep thinking about it I can figure out a way to not die

    • @NatLeRat
      @NatLeRat 7 месяцев назад +8

      Hi to myself 1 month ago! Here’s some things to consider:
      1. It’s not possible to fear death because being dead is not something you can experience. What you really fear is not living long enough.
      2. Death anxiety tends to lessen as you age, so trust the process of life and don’t worry unnecessarily about the future.
      3. These worries are only thoughts. Let yourself to observe these thoughts and how they make you feel.
      4. You need other people in your life for you to feel meaning and hope. Connect with others. Experience things. Remeber that you are alive and a part of a greater ecosystem.
      5. Death can happen any time, not just at old age so there’s no use dreading growing old because anything could happen. Live each day one at a time.
      6. A healthy fear of death is a sign that you are alive.
      7. You cannot outrun the darkness, but you can let in light. Allow yourself to experience joy and surrender to the moment.

It’s just sad and depressing and I won’t be able to live without them. And personally, I’m not a believer of heaven or hell so i just think when you die you will be in a pit of darkness for all of eternity, even when the universe ends.

    I don’t exactly struggle with it but the 2-3 times in my life where I would just randomly think about how one day I won’t exist anymore is a terrifying thought! Just trying to grasp the concept of non existing & how one day everything I do, everyone I know will be gone! The few times I did this I would get very anxious like one time I was playing a game & I quickly put the controller down then continued pacing in my room back n forth….it’s quite scary I’ll admit so I can only imagine how horrible it is for people who do this a lot!

      I think you have restless leg syndrome its where you have a constant urge to move your legs and its impossible to keep them still especially at night i have it
