Terrified of death

[DaveM]

Yeah, I too have been through that a number of times when younger. Was before I got to my 30's though, but looking back, I suppose it just makes me feel more pleased to enjoy what I have now.

yeah, a lt more appreciative

who said death was the end of living?

law of the conservation of mass and energy; your body will transition.

death is the overrated act of losing control over voluntary and involuntary organs by the brain (ie: heart stops, you got a bullet to the head, et cetera).

fact is, you do not "die." "you" do, but your body does not. it transitions.

Wat????

 

[All Else Failed]

Know what should scare you more? The possibility of you being tortured in a lake of fire for all eternity! I hope I helped. ;^*

hey man i know you dont want to hear it
i ain no bible tumpin
country retard from cryptic ages
i grew up with a regular family with problems
i like slayer and monsters
and death and horror and i still do its the shit
i hard punk rock mohawks
marlin manson
but i like regular stuff to just like everone else
but i found that i needed to not be afraid of life and getting old
and not looking young and getting sicknesses that older people get
like kidney problems and heart and what ever
and then looking older getting out of shape and not being able to
stay in shape
even when i was a kid i scared to death that i knew i would die some day
and i always avoided anyones funerals
talking about real deaths near to me
i always wondered how i could ever deal with my parent dying and my sister
so i avoided the thought of it and now im older and coming around
and im still scared like a was before
but there is one thing that will help and it is knowing that
their spirit is going somewhere else and just not ending forever
just done gone no where to be found
and thats when i realized i needed something to help me with that
before i go bonkers
and finally accept that maybe there is something out there
i would like there to be it would make all this go away and i could
feel ok with it again and not worry and make my self depressed
and sick and make my life misrable while i still have one
and the only answere we have the move history and know
to be a real thing is god
so try it it has made all of those issues just turn to happiness for me
and it was easy to
once you accept it
then you start reading or listening to audio books
you soon say
wholy crap this was real along and i just didnt know about it

 

[GameCrazed]

Cotton- Dude, I know exactly how you feel.

I used to be totally obsessed with death. I was terrified to go to sleep for years because I didn't want to die in my sleep without being able to do anything about it or even know about it.

Whenever I got a strong ache or pain, and the source wasn't readily identifiable, I would assume it was cance and get all shaky and scared.

Anyone who tries to tell you to jsut not worry about it has no idea waht it's like. It's terrible. But you know that.

 

[BadBoy@TheWheel]

I don't want to get too philosophical....But it's not death I am afraid of....It's not living that scares me.

 

[SRC]

I'm not afraid of dying .. I'm afraid of NOT dying.

 

[Keight]

I think everyone is scared of death, i dont think about it alot however i know what you mean if i get sick or if more importantly im not sick at all for a long time i wonder if something inside me is killing me silently, I think paranoia lives in every one even if they are not willing to admit it. im not a religious person at all so i inevitbly feel ill end up as lawn food end of, i guess i would like to think of something better after death but its not something i wonder about :shrug:
