okay, so lately i cannot stop thinkingabout dying. iknow its weird, and itscares me a lot. but i cannot stop thinking about it and how much icant accept it. i just keep thinkingabout laying in a hospital bed knowing that im going to di, but also knowing that i cant accept its coming....wanting with every breath to live, but knowing that soon i'll lose my breathe.

i think im so afraid because of my beliefs...im atheist i guess. i dont beleive in god (in the same way i dont beleive in the tooth fairy or the easter bunny). i believe that when you die it all ends. no lights, no fire, no peter, no wings, no reincarnation, no limbo, no whatever. just black.

ive bleieved this since i was a child. the only part of you that ithink moves on is your electrical and magnetic energy (duh). but yet, im so afraid to die. i dont want my life to end, i wanna stay with my wife and lovemy kid and grow my crop and keep doing good in the world....but then i reemember the black. thats what i live with day to day.

so i guess my question is: how do i make myslf not fear death?

i tried to watch those nasty videos of people dying, cuz thats what psychiatrists tell you to do when you have a fer of death or blood, but all that did was make me realize that life is so damn short. and it ends so damn fast.

I stopped being afraid of drying when I realized that it's a natural cycle of life, everyone has to do it, and living your life afraid of it will not stop it from happening. That's why you live life to the fullest.

Even if you die, and there is no afterlife, you still exist.You will be put into the ground, and reabsorbed by the earth and its creatures.Worms eat you, birds eat the worms,your body nourishes the plant life, gives off gasses and these gasses are absorbed into the air, and eventually, into the lungs of all life on earth.We're all made from the particles of those who came before us.

my advice is that you look into afterlife, the human soul, consciousness, and spirituality.

don't quote me on this, but i think all religious believe in an afterlife of some sort.



the human body and mind is incredibly fascinating! it would be a shame if such brilliant creatures with immense consciousness would just cease to exist after death.

I think about this constantly. It's not really a fear, but more like "If I'm just going to die anyway, whats the point of working this job, or paying these bills, or even getting out of bed?" It's all in vain, in my humble (albeit slightly warped) opinion.

Well I'm not sure if I'd ever feel that way unless I had no joy. I'd wonder why the hell do anything if I'm gonna die anyway if I had nothing to live for. But I get out of bed in the morning to hang out with my friends, take care of responsibilities, etc. some shit is bad but thats part of life(Can't have the good without the bad:blsmoke:) Kind of a wild guess but maybe you haven't ever found your purpose in life? If you find your purpose as more than just existing then you'll strive to become whatever it is you're supposed to be/do and have a reason to live. If your just living to live you should find your purpose in life!:peace:

Fearing death to that degree won't do anything but stress you out and make you sick. I don't want to die either but i accept the fact that its going to happen. its the quality of life you live not the quantity. learn to enjoy what your afraid of losing and quit worrying yourself into an early grave. Peace.

I tend to be pretty pessimistic. I often feel as if the world is destroying itself, and I feel really, really guilty for ever having even smiled, when there are children who starve to death, and mass genocide, and an infinite number of other problems. I am not a particularly politcally savvy man, so sometimes I get frustrated, and can't understand why all of the terrible things happen in the world, and it weighs so heavy on me that I think death is the solution. As for a purpose? I don't know. By the way, I'm feeling exceptionally disheartened tonight, so ....... sorry so grim.

I believe your thoughts are what drives you so imagine if you have only negative &/or fearful thoughts...wouldn't that negatively effect your exisistence & experience? Look at the bright side sometimes - it's beautiful. You can even see the beauty in death or as I like to imagine ascension if you look close enough in my opinion.

the only thing you truly have in life are memories

Death is just part of life(the last part). But if you let it fuck with you bad enough to where you are getting nothing out of what time you have on Earth, you are as good as dead already.

Have you ever been close to death? I don't mean seen someone die, I mean yourself, personally, physically close to death?

Dude if your afraid of dying you must live life like a vagina, like that guy in American Beauty

When you die do you wanna fizzle out of go out with a bang you make the decision.

Death is coming, no matter how scared you are, so have some fun:joint:

The only way to get to the root of the problem is to completely feel out the "badness/evilness" of what you are feeling. Only then can you overcome the problem and transform it.

That's what I was thinking like if you were about to die and came back you wouldn't fear death you'd love life. Not sure you should try to get near death though...ha:peace:

From my experiences of what you talk of (lasted several years for me) too much smoking and naval gazing doesnt help. I am also a Virgo and Virgoans are predisposed to suffer from hypercondria which when stoned can become a morbid fear of death, it can affect your life to the point that you wont want to drive your car because it so dangerous etc etc. Give up smoke for a while, iI did for 2 years or so and after smoking again for 8 months now dont suffer with it any more. Knowing that I was suffering from panic attacks helped also as before I thought I was dying every day also...complete mind fuck!:joint:
