Wow! I think I have been where you were. I know the feelings. Hit me up on ICQ sometime.

I'd fuck jesus in the doo doo hole with a lawn dart.

I'm guessing you're not a Christian

I want to die in my sleep like grandpa, not screaming like the others in his car! :1orglaugh :1orglaugh http://www.wildmonkeysex.com/gfy/smilielol.gif

so true

It's no good that it is inhibiting your everday life.
Death is coming. There is nothing any of us can do about it.
You HAVE to cope with it. Period.

I've noticed that people who fear death are mostly theists, and their theism is a way of coping with death. Consider it part of the survival instinct in that theism promises that when you die, your existence continues.

I've come to terms with my fear of death this way, "What was it like before you existed? Chances are it'll be just like that when you're dead."

I basically agree but would put it like this.

When we are born we forget that we are an eternal consiousness. Hence we have a deeply rooted fear of death a.k.a "The Survival Instinct" as we forget that we are much more than just physical bodies.

The trick is to make a concerted effort to "remember" that you are more than just your body long before your body wears out and/or you lose it :)

Then you will be able to bring more of that greater consiousness into your daily life at will 24/7 whether for guidance or just to make things go better generally. :thumbsup

edit: But taxes scare me shitless!!

I actually am looking forward to it . . . can't wait to see what is on the other side

No.

Death is inevitable. Why would I be afraid of something that is inevitable?

I've been going through pretty much the same thing for the past 2-3 years, it really is tiring me out, but sometimes I feel I can finally relax, as if I'm no longer concerned about it.

Then in the worst moments those thoughts come back to nag you and it is a bit paralyzing.

no. there is life after death and i believe in the reincarnation of the soul. :angel

worrying wastes time and time is precious therefore your wasting everything that is precious to you.

Living for today baby.


Living for today.

Death does scare but then I just look UP and think where the fuck does it end. Space where does it end think about it there's got to be something after death.

Just live everyday to the fullest and don't worry about it!!!

I'm no more afraid of death than I am of sleep.

i am death, but don't tell anyone

Those who believe in an afterlife are those without the courage to live.

Religion is for suckers.

Simple. .... you hire somone like me to stand watch with guns while you sleep.

If you are a good man, I am the very best on earth


Death is real.

Not really ... It will happen when it happens . I cannot do much about it

Theres absolutley no reason why fears of death should inhibit your daily life. Yet It does so many.

U know why people fear death?

I could go into some science about it

24/7 every night. if u need it, let me know.

I sure could use the money.

I completely agree with what you've said.
Death is the permanent cessation of vital bodily functions; once there's no brain activity, pain (and stuff like that) just dont exist anymore.
Nothing to fear, you won´t feel a thing.

Sure, it can be scary to think about.. it's something that is final and well beyond your control. It's natural to be concerned about your own death but worrying yourself senseless about it is a waste of what life you have left. Death is a release.. a final lasting peace. The best thing you can probably do to sooth your fear of death is to live a life you are proud of.

Ok it sounds like your having anxiety attacks. Thats one of the major signs of anxiety. I have it too. I used to have it consistently everynight when I woudl go to bed. I then found out I was having anxiety attacks. Best thing to tdo is talk to a Dr and tell him whast going on and tell him your having anxiety attacks, They will prescribe something for you.

I am not afraid to die, but I certainly dont want to!

:thumbsup

It is amazing how much time and energy people waste by either worrying about the future or regretting the past. Hours and hours every day.

Live for today is a great attitiude.

Obviously not as in "Fuck it I might die tomorrow I'm gonna make my life a non stop party and who cares about tomorrow"

But live for today as in make the most of the time given to you and focus on what is in front of you :upsidedow

With 13 months as an Infantry RTO in Nam, I was too busy to think about dying. However, I've looked into the face of death and the dying on many occasions.

There's a great line in the movie "Spartacus." Tony Curtis asks Kirk Douglas, "Spartacus, are you afraid to die?" He replies, "No more than I was to be born." I've never forgotten that line.

Thirty days after 9/11, I had a heart attack that brought a 6-way bypass. Everyone thought I was crazy because I was in such a good mood at the hospital. Although I had brain activity via a heart/lung machine, my heart was stopped and outside of my chest for 8.5 hours.

So, am I afraid to die or afraid of death? Get in my face and find out! Oh, and that's not for the crew here. It's for any terrorists who may be perusing this forum (shame on you. You won't get your ten vestial virgins now!).

I would say that, what it boils down to is simply this: Do you know where you'll be 2 minutes after you quit breathing? I do. Do you?

Some of the things I dislike the most about moronic atheists like YOU:

(1) They feel intellectually superior to those who have faith in a higher power.

(2) The NEVER miss an opportunity to shove their fucking OPINIONS down our throats.

I knew someone like you in grad school. Even the MENTION of the word 'God' would send him into a rant about how noone with REAL intelligence could possibly believe in any kind of God or afterlife. 'Religion is for suckers,' he would say (just like you).

One of our fellow grad students lost her mother suddenly. Normal people, when confronted with having to face a grieving friend, will try to offer support. I told her 'you mom is in a better place.' I made the mistake of saying that in front of my athiest friend, unfortunately, who couldn't resist the opportunity to shove his opinion down our throats yet again. 'No she isn't', he said, 'she's nowhere. She's in the ground. There's no afterlife or God.' Fucking heartless prick.

ALL YOU UNFEELING ATHIESTS CAN KISS MY ASS!

have fun now...and dont think about future

i'm not afraid of dying, i'm afraid of not living.
