Are ye all scared of death ?

[Dustinsd]

What do you think happens ?

 

[CantDoIt]

I am scared I have no idea what happens. I think maybe I just disappear which is fine. If I don't disappear, reincarnation or some kind of healing plane of existence.

It depends on my mental state.
Most of the time it's more "I don't wanna live". And I have noticed that I'm somewhat afraid of death in this state, especially when SI comes into play.
But if I'm back at a point where I'm completely hopeless and I am fully convinced of "I want/need to die", then I'm not really scared anymore. And it's way easier to push myself through SI.
After intensive therapy tho, I seem to be stuck in the "I don't wanna live" limbo, without it progressing towards "I want/need to die". And idk yet if that's a good thing or not.

What do you think happens ?

Nothing. Just, nothing. Not even black or a void. You just stop existing, as if you never were.
However, sometimes I am afraid there is more to religion than just fearmongering. And I am terrified of that slight possibility of an afterlife.
That fear for a potential place has stopped more attempts than SI ever could, for me xD

Of course I'm scared. Scared of the unknown. Scared of messing up. Scared of getting stopped. Just really so scared.

The final moments of dying are scariest. I hate that I might give in to SI, or to have regrets. I don't want any memories and wish I could drown that stuff out.

Not if it truly ends all the pain

I've seen death up close, it's not that bad. Quite the contrary, the relief and peace I saw in my fiancee when she exhaled the last time made me wish I could experience it myself. I'm not scared of death, I'm scared of living a long, miserable, painful life.

 

[EndofSmallSanctuary]

I'm very scared , however its only getting harder and harder for me to live.

SLEEP IS FUN

 

[maynoname]

Above all, I'm afraid of failing, even if I'm going to put all the chances on my side.
But I'm not afraid of death. I don't believe there is anything after death. I just think that you die of body and mind.

 

[fly]

Most of the time defenitly not; but I wanna have the chance to make couple of phone calls to closest friends; I see it as something more comforting. I wouldnt have any problem with dying; besides im not "that" suicidal right now.
How are ya?

What do you think happens ?

I love death. It's the dying part that scares me.

 

[Bubble4246]

I like to believe that death is similar to the state you were in before you were even born. Try to remember how it felt when you were in your mother's womb, before you were born. That's most likely what death feels like. I also find great comfort in having come to understand that the universe happened purely by luck and chance.

The very fact that we are all gathered here today, writing on this forum, is incredibly improbable, yet it happened. That's what makes life so beautiful in a way - by pure chance, everything we know exists. But that also means that after we pass, there is no meaning. There is no greater purpose in the universe because it was all just chance. It took me a long time to overcome my great fear of death; now I have a fear of dying instead. The process of dying scares me much more than death itself. Death is eternal peace - reuniting with the universe.

No, instead what I fear is this cruel, torturous existence where there is all this endless suffering with no limit as to how much agony one can feel. Personally I believe death to simply be nothingness where I finally cannot suffer anymore and I'm permanently free from all pain which is all I wish for and is all that comforts me as I'm so tired of suffering, I only hope to never exist again where all is finally forgotten about for me, I just wish for death to bring me peace from this existence that only ever caused me to suffer.
