I'm so fucking afraid of dying.
I can't shake it from my mind.
We're all going to fucking die and there's nothing we can do about it... What's the point of having kids? What kind of selfish sociopath would bring a child into a world where they're just going to die?
I can't stop thinking about what happens after death. I'm so fucking afraid /r9k/.

Wew, I'm not the only one that thinks this.
You die, and that's it. You're gone forever.
God doesn't exist, there is no nirvana or "heaven" where everything is happy and perfect. Religiousfags tell themselves these things though to ward off their from their own inevitable demise.
Try to think about it as if before you were born.
Just have to accept it, nothing you can do about it
I got over it like 10 years ago
Like, it's GONNA happen eventually so why worry? Death? Whatever!
I don't think anyone gets over it. We all just look for distractions to fill up our consciousness.
>he isn't glad about this
certainly not a robot.

>You die, and that's it. You're gone forever.
I really hope that's all it is.
I can't stand to imagine a blackness where you can't move. I hope if it is like that, I won't have any consciousness.

Adopt a religion. It will make you feel better. Also never reproduce. Like you said, it's inhumane. It's not the death that's inhumane though, it's the suffering.

I thought I got over it too. But the fear has come back recently had has hit me like a bag of bricks.

Same, I had my first existential crisis as a young teenager, and now death is on my mind almost daily as a 25 year old adult.

Don't worry anon, when you die suffering just ceases to exist for you. Think of it as a sort of release. In the meantime enjoy life and make it count, it's the only one you're going to get.
>>34980225
Just think, you could die instantly in a car crash.
No pain. Life blinks out just like that.
>>34980225
>I
>implying internalized belief in mind/body separation
One of the upsides of having a shitty life is death seems not bad at all. I understand why happy people will be scared but to me it just sounds like a release. I only want it to be as painless as possible.
Being somewhat nihilist is nice. Nothing has a purpose, so it's easy to be a degenerate.
Giving up on life is great. I can enjoy my degen hobbies and a piece of shit because it won't matter. My death will erase all of it. I will eventually be forgotten.

>not realizing that it's a gift
Death gives life meaning.

It would be impossible to be conscious without your organs m8, you'll be fine.
This might help:

But how can you be certain nothing has a purpose?
I wish I could think like that, but I just can't convince myself.
It's probably because I was raised Catholic.

>It would be impossible to be conscious without your organs m8, you'll be fine.
Yes, but what if there really is a "soul" and I go to "hell"?
It would be fucking awful, which is an understatement, and I can't stop thinking about it.
I can't stop thinking about a blackness where I can't move and can't breathe, and I can't even scream. It's like a nightmare forever and ever.

Nothing has a purpose Anon. You haven't suffered enough to come to this realization. I could tell you more revelations but it might shake your faith if you still have it. t. Christian

Stop asking r9k about it and get into reading. It will make you feel better knowing that other people, smarter than you, went through the same things. You can start with Emil Cioran - On the Heights of Despair
>tfw you die your brain supposedly fires off a fuckload of neurons and shit
>it supposedly induces an incredibly euphoric type high and is probably the root of all "near death experiences"
as a drug lover, this is something I kind of look forward to
>>34980505
Your "soul" didn't experience anything for the billions of years that have occurred before you were born, why should the time after your death be any different?
>billions of years have occurred
>none of us have "experienced" them
Therefore there are only 2 options:
Either we get "wiped" and reincarnated, or our souls are destroyed, and we no longer experience consciousness.
There is simply no other way to account for the time that has passed before our births.

>Death gives life meaning.
This guy gets it.
>>34980678
maybe our consciousness was in another galaxy somewhere in the universe and we can die that consciousness transcends into different parts of this fucking endless universe
so many possibilities but it's all most likely just an off switch
