I think it's natural to have the fear of death, but I was wondering if there's even a way to combat that, to not be scared. Any ideas?

No, for me personally ceasing to exist would be the relief as I believe death to just be nothingness which is all I wish for, all I want is to never suffer ever again. In an existence that is so cruel, painful and torturous to me where there is no limit as to how much one can be tormented death truly would be the only peace for me. I fear existing and it terrifies me how the suffering can continue for so long, I'd never wish to exist no matter what, non-existence truly is all I see as desirable as to me existence truly is the most horrific tragedy that just causes endless amounts of suffering, what really scares me is the thought of suffering until old age, the extreme torture and agony of old age is something that really terrifies me, personally I just wish for the peace of non-existence over all this terrible suffering and cruelty.

Death and I already know each other, we have seen each other up close. When I finally commit my suicide it will be a day of glory. In the meantime I have to make sure it's painless and doesn't fail.

I don't fear Death. I have no fear of Death

It's what I want the most by far. What else can solve all my problems instantly and forever? Nothing else . Wonder why we never see this question posted anywhere ? Hmmm

I haven't seen Death framed this way as the only solution to all problems forever. Why would someone fear that and no pain no suffering ?

Life is an endless series of threats, hard work , chores, problems, diseases, horrible things , bad memories. Non-existence is the opposite total peace ultimate bliss

Even a lot of money which if course no one is going to give, will not prevent all diseases, accidents , problems, very old age, bad memories . No there is only one thing Death / non-existence that will avoid any thing bad forever

I fear the pain of remaining alive

After Death is non-existence forever.

No one can convince me that there is an objective reason why I have to want to remain alive a single minute more in this hell

I don't get it why someone would want to work so hard every day just to exist under threat of extreme torture for no objective reason

First 5 replies to your question the 5 members have no fear of Death .

What holds me back is not death itself, but the thought of failure.
And to be honest, I'm more afraid of life. I'm too stupid to face the challenges that life has to offer. And I don't see the point in trying.

It depends I guess where the larger fear is...many people here will have a fear of life already and then the question is the fear of death, which is larger and how does this work then going forward? I'm afraid a little to die but I'm more afraid to live at this point. Been like this for 6 years now and it's hit it's new highs / lows over the past couple of months. I had my first attempt today and it was ok. Nearly have all my affairs in order and then ready to go then!!

Not scared to die. I am scared to suffer. I'm worried when the time comes if I start to suffer I will bottle it but I am hoping I have enough enough courage and remember that this is just the price I have to pay for peace and remember the suffering I am going through is nothing compared to what I will have to keep living through. Easier said than done. I do feel sad this has to happen though

As much as I want to die, I still fear death. I believe it's natural to fear it, after all, we don't know what's gonna happen later; What if for example you think you are dead, and then you wake up in a hospital, still alive. What if in other case, there's just literally nothing? You won't even know if you are dead or not. For me, the biggest fear is that I'll regret everything during my CTB, and that the emergency rescue won't be quick enough to help me (That happened to my brother's old friend, it was so devastating for me as I was like 11 years old by that time, it gave me trauma that lasts up to this day), that's also one of the reasons I'm thinking where will I actually want to CTB; I'd love to do it in a place that brings the most memories out of me, but that place is far away from the nearest hospital, and it takes an ambulance around 10 minutes to arrive here, so I think that would be already way too late. I'm scared of death as fuck, it makes me cold and shiver af. I wish there was a way to somehow stop this fear.

at this point in my life, I'm afraid to die but I'm also afraid to live. The ever optimist side of my brain says everything is going to be great but the realist part says it's never been so why would it start now.

Unfortunately, yes.
Maybe it's only a fear of failure, or suffer, I'm not sure.
The thought there "there is nothing", not even a little "concious" is... A bit of a relief, but also... well, I don't know how to explain.
Even if I see it as a "freedom", it's a bit weird to think that will happens.

There was a time when I wasn't worried about it, but now that I've set a date and it's getting closer, I'm definitely having second thoughts. I've started dreaming about it and wondering more and more about what comes after death. I'm guessing it's a natural thing but the feeling of being scared of it, is getting unbearable. Maybe it's also a mix of guilt I'm feeling towards my family.

I don't know. I don't fear death, and SI isn't a huge thing for me, but I do worry how it might affect others.

I'm kind of weird in that I want to die but also wish I had a reason to live.

I'm scared to die, but I've reached a point in my life where I'm far more scared to live. Partly by design, as I've engaged in self destructive behavior for years with the explicit intent of making my life worse than the prospect of death so I'd feel more comfortable when I CTB.

J'ai peur de mourir, mais j'ai atteint un point dans ma vie où j'ai bien plus peur de vivre. En partie volontairement, car j'ai adopté un comportement autodestructeur pendant des années avec l'intention explicite de rendre ma vie pire que la perspective de la mort afin de me sentir plus à l'aise lorsque je me suicide.
A little Same for me...

I'm very much scared of death. Everything about it, the process, what comes after, leaving my life behind.

The easy answer would be… well I don't have to die. I can live. I'm young.

But I'm in a position where I feel trapped. My life has been painful for 5 years and I don't know if I can overcome the challenges I've been dealt. Then it forces me to choose between two things.

A life which I see as exceedingly painful and difficult. Or a death which might guarantee peace, but with all the fears attached.

I would love to live. I would love for things to be a bit different so that I'm not suffering everyday. I would love to not have to make this decision

I am scared of failing. Scared of not finding what I need for my method of choice. Death itself will be a sweet relief. We all die anyway, sooner or later so what's the difference if I go now.
