Does anyone else feel the same about death?

[Jessectb]

Hello, new here. You know that feeling when you go under general anaesthesia, time skips, it's like you go to sleep and then you wake up and you're like is it done yet? cos time just skipped. Idk, there's something blissful about that feeling, I assume death would be similar in a sense, time just stops for you. Perhaps time could also skip, the universe never stops expanding, all it takes is one right move for an entire eco system to be formed, perhaps if reincarnation is real, its not that we will be born again as people, on earth, it might be possible, perhaps it isn't. I don't know. We could be formed on an entire new planet, in an entire different galaxy, at the end, we are all made out of atoms, as is the universe, atoms are always being formed. The world is a very mysterious place, we don't have the answers for everything. Death is just intriguing. Even if I remain nothingness forever, there's something about that, that still seems blissful.

I personally find so much comfort in falling asleep permanently, I only hope and wish for eternal nothingness where I finally cannot suffer anymore.

 

[GoatHerder]

I'd hope we live again somewhere better where life is perfect and suffering isn't possible.

I personally think about death like this - do you remember anything from the time when you were in you mother's womb? Nothing, right? You don't even remember how you were born or even anything from when you were a little baby. So I think death is just going back to that nothingness. And maybe there is some kind of life or existence after it, on another planet, in another galaxy, who knows - but these two lives are not connected in any way.

Yes, I think that's exactly what death is. It has become much less scary to me since I underwent general anaesthesia.

 

[ijustwishtodie]

Yeah, I see death as permanent non existence. It's a non state. We wouldn't have any perspective or thoughts or feelings or suffering for all of eternity. I find this to be blissful

me too, i have had cosmetic surgeries more than 5times and each time i go under, it's the same, just nothingness. I really loved being put under. i imagine that's what N will feel like. drowsy for a minute then complete black out.

Death is like going to sleep..never waking up, never dreaming in sleep. Imagine how beautiful it would be if there was no pain involved, just like usual sleep.

for me sleep is sometimes even scary. nightmares, night terrors, the other night i woke up gasping for air like I had been drowning.

Ohh sorry! I might add , no dreams or nightmares or night terrors. The smooth sailing where you don't experience the sailing..

I get this ever since I started seriously considering ctb

 

[Hotsackage]

Endorphins are like being asleep and awake at the same time. But ya I get this

I like the comparison to general anesthesia. Because it's not sleep, it's like someone cut out a piece of your timeline and glued it together. You don't feel that any time passed, while you do when you sleep. You just stopped existing (as a person, not as a human being) for a few hours and then you came back. That's exactly how I imagine death, but without coming back.

I don't believe in reincarnation or any other sort of afterlife, because it implies souls exist, and I see no reason to believe in anything supernatural. Regardless of my beliefs I find the whole concept of reincarnation hard to grasp. You are you because of your personality, your memories, experience, skills you've learned, things you believe in, etc. After reincarnation you don't get to keep any of these things. Then why should we say it's still you?

That's why I believe that whatever I am will cease to exist the moment my heart stops beating. Or maybe that's not even necessary. If I become brain-dead, no matter how long my body lives, I'm no longer there as a person. My atoms may get recycled, they already do every 7 years or so, and nobody says I'm a different person because of that. Whatever happens to my corpse, this will no longer concern me as a person.

 

[opheliaoveragain]

I like your comparison as well, OP. I hope that death is just peaceful nothingness and not a road that keeps going on and on. But regardless I agree fully that any imagined outcome is intriguing. The fact that we haven't unraveled the mysteries of death this far into our species existing speaks volumes to how mysterious it really is, how deep, how profound it could be. I def share your fascination, OP.

I won't mind if death is just eternal nothingness. That's better than what I've had to endure here. I'd take nothingness over loneliness and being conscious of what I'll never have. If that's the only way that I can experience consciousness, then I'd rather have nothingness. However, there's a part of me that hopes to awaken in a good life/world. I'm weird, I guess, in the fact that I see ctb as actually taking back the power over myself and my soul. Therefore, I'll be able to control what happens to me. I'll remember things. Maybe not vividly, but I'll have a sense about certain things. I'll have an awareness to stay away from hell realms such as this one. I believe there are many worlds and dimensions. This one being one of the worst. Sure, there are worse than here, but there are also better, more beautiful and loving worlds. That's where I'm going. If I can't have eternal happiness, I'll take eternal sleep. Either way, I'll be away from this.

The void.

I wish that death is a way to be able to forgive yourself and finally let go of all the senseless pain. That nothingness accepts you in a way that you just couldn't for yourself.

I underwent general anaesthesia at the age of... 7? I was quite young yeah. Had to get a couple teeth fixed and I was simply too dumb and terrified to get the courage.

My father somehow convinced someone at the hospital and there you go. I remember the moment before losing consciusness. It was... Can't even say relaxing because I couldn't even realize what was going on.

Maybe they even used some drug that could kill me know. It was exactly there, in my body. And now is not anymore.

 

[Unspoken7612]

Remember, all drugs can kill you, it just might be very painful or take a long time.

Anaesthesia is very complicated. That said, anaesthetists do commit suicide at higher rates than other doctors, often using propofol, the drug usually used to induce and then maintain general anaesthesia.
