Hey guys, for some reason over this past week I've developed

Hey, here's the truth.

no one does. and I along with every man in my family has had at least one NDE or coma on both mother and father's side.

No one fucking knows. and it doesn't fucking matter. You are dead, thats a blessing. Because death is an ellusive and shifty whore who seems to grace her loving full body tantric orgasms to everyone you know and love or hate, and you are perpetually last on her list.

Do you get anxious over what happened to you before you were alive?
If not, then why not?
It is a bit of a non-starter when you consider that even if something of who you are were to continue existing after your brain stops functioning, you have no way of analyzing it in any meaningful frame f reference while still alive.

I know that. My mind just keeps lingering on it though. I never had this problem before and I was always ok with death. I'm not sure why it's this way now. I guess I just am looking for ways to not let it bother me so I can keep living my life healthily.

Life after death is the same as life before birth.

Guys, this isn't helping. I'm like going to cry... I really need help I think.

Yes, the unknowable is pretty scary. We are afraid because there's a chance what we fear the most will happen. But there's also the chance of your happiest dream becomes true. Since it is unknowable, the probability distribution of different outcomes should be symmetric and uniform. That's how I resolved this: whenever I think something bad will happen to me (my version of events after death is pretty fucking scary), I think something good will happen to me with equal chance. After awhile the whole issue is reduced into triviality.

That helped. Thank you very much for your post. I mean it.

i think i can relate. i recently moved out for my first time about 6 months ago and got really depressed. i started smoking again (quit in january) even took up wristcutting for awhile. but all that kinda faded away over time and now i got a roommte best friends from high school, support from my coworkers and now everythings good. quit smoming again. i think being in unfamiliar place just causes stress for awhile. not very good advice but hope this helps

The problem with trying to imagine death is that you inevitably imagine yourself being conscious and looking around you. The idea of being in a wooden box underground is only scary because you imagine yourself being awake and alive in a wooden box underground.

But you won't be there to experience any of it. You'll be dead. You'll be over.

To quote Tom Stoppard, Death isn't like anything. Death isn't.
