Fears about death

[nihilism44]

I wish I could get over my fears. I'm not scared of what comes after death, I'm just terrified of the feelings that come before. I already have panic disorder, so I feel like no matter how "peaceful" my method is, I'm going to go out panicking. Idk if I'm just overthinking.. it will probably be over quick.. I'm just scared.

I also have suffered through panic attacks. They are the scariest times for anyone to endure. You may need to reevaluate your plans and try to figure out what is stopping you. Perhaps you are not ready to exit, maybe you'll never be ready. Try to figure out what you really want during a calm time. SI is very powerful and will stop you from carrying out method. A combination of SI and Panic disorder make things difficult for any method.

I wish I had more sage advice than I have given you but I do hope that it helps you a little.

I don't fear death either.

However, I'm very scared of the pain and some stuff I read that when you "die" you still feel something for some minutes.

I just want instante peace lol

Yeah I know what you mean. I don't fear death at all, the thought of not being here anymore is comforting. I am worried about the SI, as our brain is geared to survive if it senses any danger. I am scared of trying a method, as many require courage,I would love an peaceful way out.

I don't fear death, I fear life.

I have panic attacks too and also phobias. I often have severe physical pain and I'm prescribed injections but it's hard for me to give myself the injections even though I've done it and it's just a small poke compared to the pain I'm in. I often have to call someone to do it for me. It's ridiculous but it happens.

When I was a teenager my 4 wisdom teeth were all impacted and decaying and I was in horrible pain. I went to the dentist to have them extracted but when they called my name my body wouldn't move. They told me that it happens a lot to some people and they started giving me diazepam every 30 minutes until I could walk. It was so strange because my body just wouldn't stand up even though I knew extracting them would be the only way to relieve the pain. And the moment they were extracted I felt extreme relief just as I'd suspected and it really wasn't bad at all.
