Are you scared of dying?

[dogemn]

How will you overcome the fear of death?

 

[The anhedonic one]

No. Living in this shit show hellscape is more frightening than my fear of death.
I'm not actually fearful of death, because death is inevitable. So why worry about it ?
My only real fear is survival instinct.

 

[Fktw0rld]

Scared? Not at all. It's the only thought that brings me peace actually.

The closer my date gets the more freedom I feel.

 

[hananover]

I dislike the physical pain involved in dying. But I want to die. If there is nothing after death, then I embrace that.

 

[Jule_from_Germany]

I think everyone is. I don't believe in anybody saying something else. I've been close to death over the past few days and was scared like hell

How will you overcome the fear of death?

I don't fear death as I came really close to it. What I do fear is the amount of pain and sadness I was suffering from at the time will come back that put me in the state where I thought I needed to end my life but I am also in the point in my journey where I think I have healed enough of myself where I can hold onto life and find the better out of the bad. I guess it all depends on each person's experience and what outlook they have after said experiences.

 

[mlcs]

of process that would require pain, yes
but dying as itself, as a final step towards nothingness, not at all

 

[Sapphire]

A part of me is afraid of dying. I don't think that it's possible to overcome the fear of death completely. There will always be some fear of the dying process and the fear of the unknown. I think that if I get desperate enough, I would be able to go through with ctb despite the fear. It would be similar to sometimes having to do things outside of your comfort zone. You don't really want to, but you do it because you know you have to.

 

[sleep4eternity]

I'm not afraid of dying, but I'm afraid of the pain I need to get through before I'm free from it.

 

[lostintheloop]

Not scared of drying itself , I don't care if it's painful either as long as it works. The thought of nothingness after death does kind of freak me out- like in an existential sense, it's just really hard to comprehend nothing and not perceiving anything. Thinking about that makes me feel weird and kind of anxious. But I'm not scared of it, it's the thought that makes me anxious, I can't be anxious once its over as I won't be able to feel anything so I'm not worried about how it''ll feel. Not sure if this even makes sense, hard to explain.

 

[LostCauseLooknToCTB]

nah man i really don't i know that i am going to die one day and there is no stopping it so why prolong it

 

[FuneralCry]

I only fear existing in this horrific world, to me permanent non-existence is so incredibly comforting, it's the only relief as it's finally freedom from all suffering, one cannot be harmed by not existing and there are no disadvantages to being completely unaware. What I would fear is a suicide attempt failing, just leading to even more suffering, I fear how existence holds unlimited potential to suffer as this reality undeniably is so hellish.

 

[InaudibleEcho]

Not really. I'm kind of excited to see what comes after death. The only thing is I want to be in control of my death. Quick, as painless as possible, and when I'm ready.

 

[scharlachrotsan]

personally, no. i believe in the christian god so i believe that i'd go to heaven, but i also know what it would be like to just return to nothing, so i'm covered either way.

How will you overcome the fear of death?

Death is inevitable. Why fear it? It's a part of this experience. There's no sense in fearing dying.

 

[TheSpookyNameGuy]

Mostly no, but if i'm baked like right now, sometimes i get nervous about the thought and shudder a bit.

being stoned makes me feel so weird about death.

 

[Eriktf]

I'm not afraid to die but everything that happens after I die that bothers me, what happens to my things, who cleans and wash down the apartment, money for burial, debt. Is just all the practical that needs to be arranged. Before I CTB I want to arrange as much as possible but I just can't get everything arranged, think that's what keeps me from catching the bus

 

[Gonnerr]

I think im the only one who is terrified.

That's why i wish i was never born.

 

[wanttodie]

no im not

 

[unsaiddes]

I'm less so afraid of dying and whatever happens during and after, than I am afraid of the consequences of failing my attempt. I know the process with my method will be painful and terrifying in the moment, but the pure idea of my one and only life being over and done with doesn't faze me.

 

[charlotte_]

To me, there are way more scarier things in life than death. For example, being alone, unable to graduate, unable to get a good job, having to live of someone else's care, permanent injuries and so much more. Compared to them, death is nothing. Part of me still fear death but not much.

 

[day]

Outside of basic SI no I'm not really afraid. I'm afraid more of having to suffer till I pass away than death.

 

[MiraiShisen]

Yeah I am, I dont even want CTB myself yet I have to... fucking chronic illness is making my life miserable, I just wanna normal life, family, job, friends playing stupid games and watching stupid serials and enjoy this shitshow called life like everyone else can. I can not even sleep, when I am thinking about how little time do I have and what I have to do... that I will be gone my existence my ego and everything I know its scary for me but pain and misery is pushing me to the edge of cliff and I just have to jump down.

 

[Venus13]

For me, eventually the fear of further life in whatever circumstances you're in surpasses any fear of death. If I didn't believe in an afterlife I would've surpassed that a long time ago.

 

[stillmirenai]

Not at all. Sometimes the fear of death manifests because you feel you have some unfinished business here on earth. But me? No chance. There's no reason for me to stay on here any longer than I need to. I've sort of found a harmony with myself in knowing I have nothing that I still need to do. My survival instinct, however, is insanely strong; my body would do anything and everything in its power to keep me alive, strangely enough. It's the only reason I haven't attempted suicide more.

How will you overcome the fear of death?

I'm not scared of dying - I'm just scared of the physically painful process OF dying rather than death itself. I'm okay with death, the thought of being dead. I don't get anxious or anything.

Thats exactly it: You do it because you KNOW that you absolutely HAVE to.

 

[Forever Sleep]

Yes, I'm scared of the unknown. Even if there isn't an afterlife (I'm hoping there'll be nothing,) I'm scared of what my brain might come up with before I die. I'm scared of the process of dieing. Both the possible pain- how long it might take. Plus- I'm scared of feeling scared while I'm doing it!

Still- I'm telling myself all of us will have to enconter it- sooner or later. Billions of people already have gone through it. Kind of pointless to dread the inevitable- just going to have to accept it. Plus- if I REALLY want out of life- I'm going to have to put myself through it. Just like other horrible stuff in life that scared me. I'll be doing it for the greater good (hopefully) to put an end to more suffering in the long run.

 

[S u i c i d e]

I'm not scared of dying but I'm scared of surviving.

 

[Praestat_Mori]

I'm not scared of dieing. It's the unknown, thoughts about what we could miss if we went on living, possible pain during the process of dieing and other stuff that causes us to be scared of death, for some also beliefs may make them scared.
