[sourpink]

I love how you write, you are very intelligent I really enjoyed reading your views

that's very sweet of you to say, thank you.
what a high compliment. writing, and finding my own voice in my art and what I write are incredibly important things to me. so your kind words mean a lot, and made my day, honestly.

I'm not afraid of death. I'm afraid of the process of dying, precisely of the pain and suffering. That's why I'm still alive.

I don't believe in the concept of afterlife. In my opinion death is the void and our souls are our brains. After our brain ceases functioning we no longer exist..

So yeh, the thought of not existing doesn't really bother me. I'm afraid of the miserable existence..

I feel exactly like you in everything you posted

I'm going the same place my dog is so I don't care what happens.

By that I assume you mean void/nothingness?

I think about death a lot. It really comforts me actually, the thought of nothingness. Death is the solution for all of my problems and it makes all life meaningless. It is our fate, what we are intended for. Life is the thing that scares me instead.

My thought is, that death is not really something you can experience, rather it's a lack of experience, so why should you fear a lack of experience?

Also, I believe the idea of the lack of good experiences as being a negative is irrational, since after you're dead, you also lack the desire for good experiences. Thus not existing is always better than existing.

I ref

I mean, have you?

Have you realized about the fact that you won't EXIST anymore in this world? (probably)
I mean, you might believe in some kind of afterlife but nobody can be 100% sure about that!

This thought is making me go crazy!

Not to exist...just, WOOOWWW!! This is too much to cope with!


Note: I know, you could easily answer that dying is just like the time before we were born but still, once you're conscious about this planet and the universe, it feels so strange and unexplainable!

I refuse to think about such things, my friend.

It only adds to SI when attempting to CTB.

I actually believe there is no such thing as "death." We merely continue on our journey, and reincarnate onto the next phase of our path.

I'm looking forward to my next life. Can't be much fucking worse than this one. And guess what? If it is, I'll just go again (CTB & reincarnate.) That's the beauty of having a deep rooted, solid belief in reincarnation: You can just keep on going!

Wishing you well.

Actually, depends of my mentality at the time. I had days where I thought death was comforting in a way and others where gets me really terrified. Last thing I would not really to die from is from being assassinated by some stranger in any crime events, being electrocuted, drowning... you know, very painful ways of dying.

If I decide to ctb on my own, I would mostly feel not being scared of death. After all, we're mortal beings and we do not live forever. However, I mostly feel more fearful of death most of the time. When I get depressed, I often think about ctb. Also I get the opposite of being scared of life and I feel that way more intenesly than what death makes me feel but occurs less often. They're just a bunch of "what if..." running through my mind.

I really like to think that when I die one day, I would finally be living happily in peace where I would meet others that I knew throughout my life, my paternal grandfather and my childhood dog again in Heaven (I'm not by any means a Christian) and knowing my pain and suffering is finally over, relieved that I'm in a better place and that my soul will never ever fades away.

To you for sure, but to me this isn't something to cope with.

I don't understand why everyone is so sure 'it's just like before you were born'
That would be a luxury,
Perhaps this existence is for us to never get what we want... So those who don't want to cease to exist do DIE and no longer experience consciousness.
But people like me wake back up into this hell.
I've tried explaining this to my therapist and he doesn't understand, he cannot grasp why someone would wish NOTHING to exist,
How people can be so beat down that even if they were given a kingly life they wouldn't want it, and all they hope for is not to exist.
Why is it valued so much.
