How many of you are afraid of what will happen after suicide?

[MarkSmith73]

Absolutely nothing to be afraid of. Life is meant to be hard. It's all a painful learning experience but it eventually ends. Whether we go naturally or take our own lives we all go to the same place. And it's beautiful.

Who cares? At least we'll be able to rest and be free

I've read so much about theism, science and other subjects that I'm not afraid at all. The brain shuts off and you're happy, I was on the other side, so to speak, or at least that's what I felt. And I felt complete happiness.

Can you talk of your experience of being on the other side, how did it happen, and what you experienced?

To quote Pisha from VTMB - "Real terror is not the sight of death, it is the fear of death. What is the fear of death? Terror of the unknown."

I don't think this person will reply back. About a month ago I remember reading their goodbye thread, sadly.

I'm worried about the people around me. Whatever comes afterwards though, well, I'll probably deserve it.

Lets hope the next life is better

I don't want to live again. I hope death is forever.

 

[Hotsackage]

For the planet, not necessarily my existence

You'll be dead. What's to be afraid of? It will be like your pre-birth.

To quote Pisha from VTMB - "Real terror is not the sight of death, it is the fear of death. What is the fear of death? Terror of the unknown."

It's impossible to be afraid of the unknown. If people would be afraid of the unknown then babies would be afraid of everything, but the opposite is the truth. We are afraid of what we already know that we then project onto the unknown.

Not true.

If God exist he wants me to stay alive and suffer, or else i burn in all for all eternity.

 

[MaidenException]

I'm too cowardly to go through the actual process of dying. I've never died before so I don't know what it would be like and that terrifies me. I'm afraid it will hurt and that as I'm dying that I'll regret it. I refuse to use SN because I know I would freak out if I saw my fingers turning blue. If there was a method that was instant, painless and peaceful, I would jump on it.

I was raised religious and even though I'm nowhere near spiritual these days, I suppose remnants of my upbringing still cling to my psyche because a part of me is afraid of the nothingness that comes after. Whenever I think about it, I burst into tears like a child and crave comfort. I know life is only going to get worse for me so it's a matter of what I'm afraid of more.

I'm similar i think, but I have a few key differences.
I'm scared of death because I'm terrified of not existing. I want to exist I just don't want to be depressed or in mental anguish all the time. My biggest hope is that I will get to start over somehow; live a new life where maybe things are different for me. But if I don't get to live a different life I would love to just relive all my favorite memories

There are two reasons why I am not killing myself. One of them is the fear of the physical and mental agony while doing the suicide and the other one is fear of reincarnation. I believe everything in existence is made of the same energy and the same consciousness that is splitting itself into different streams of consciousness (souls) that then create different points of perspective (different lives). And I believe that the same stream of consciousness won't let go of simulating the same kind of life circumstances until it gets some kind of resolution of those circumstances before dying. So I am afraid that if I kill myself I will only end up re-experiencing a similar life right after I end this one. That kind of thinking gets me into crazy thought spirals because I feel like there is literally NO way out. I'm stuck in this shit forever. I can't ever end it. I can't even feel relief in thinking of killing myself or dying one day. That is the most maddening feeling I know. As much as I don't wish this kind of suffering on anyone, I would love to know at least that I'm not the only one who has fallen down this rabbit hole. Does anyone else fear what will happen after death? I think I would've been long gone by now if I didn't have these beliefs.

I worry about what if the whole God thing is real & I'll be punished for eternity in hell sometimes. I doubt it's true but like anyone else, I don't know for sure. We really don't know who we are as people
