Afterlife Anxiety.

[shay23]

I really want to die but the fear of the afterlife/unknown is too strong. I just can't comprehend not existing or experiencing consciousness, I do not want to live at all. I've had some scary experiences on drugs where I tripped out that life wasn't real which made me really detached from reality. I wish I could go through with it but having the control to end my life experience and ending consciousness freaks me the fuck out. How can I accept death and just end it.

we must overcome our fear.
after all, death is inevitable, so sooner or later we will all go there anyway

This is one of my dilemmas. I do not want to not exist. Becasue I love too hard or too intensely I have a deep need to spend eternity with those I love peacefully. Like I don't want that at all. I've had really supernatural experiences in my life that I won't go into cuz I'd rather not be judged or attacked, but that's my only saving grace on the issue. Except I think to myself, "what if I'm the exception?". And also total just... Darkness and void scares me too. I don't wanna be alone and lonely in this life just to deal with that in the next for eternity. I just don't wanna be alone and away from people I care about forever personally. But Everytime my mind breaks I go into a trance when I can't think about anything except death and the release of it.

I feel for you Shaybear

Okay, so, this takes a much longer journey than can be made in a short space of time, but -- getting deep into Buddhist practice can help with this. I'm only at the very beginning of it so I haven't overcome that basic fear either, but I do start to see the pathway to peace with non-existence.

Why fear the inevitable. That's irrational.

The last days I think of it all such that nothing really matters. It doesn't matter if you are a millionaire with plenty of chick because you will 100% lose it all when you die. And if you are a loser like me, it won't last forever. It doesn't matter if you fuck up suicide or if you do it successfully. Because nothing matters. We are just ants on a large sphere randomly existing in a random universe. Even if we make it to live 90 years, it's nothing in comparison with the age of universe.

Love that you call me Shaybear, you're so sweet. That's the exact same for me, I feel like I could have wrote that. It's so scary - and if it's something bad I won't be able to escape it. Darkness/void scares me too, I also feel things so intensely and I'm scared of not feeling or comprehending things anymore. I don't know if it's just SI manifesting itself as afterlife anxiety but I am so scared to do it.
Thanks for understanding Pinks , can always rely on you.

Become a Hindu but your old love ones will become someone's else's loved ones and you will be reborn into new family. They believe in reincarnation. But they say this shouldn't be a problem as the soul is the same in everything so if you can see past the body into the soul then you will see your loved ones even in your new family. Did I go off topic.

I was a Hindu until I realised that most of the stories were made up but most people counter the fear of death with reincarnation in Hinduism.

I don't know if this is correct or YouTube nonsense but scientist say that even the universe will collapse in the far future, something about gravity and rate of expansion.
