Do you fear death?

[KiloPatches]

I don't fear death. I don't remember a time I ever have. If I can be quite honest, and I would never mean to worry anyone, I HAVE attempted suicide a few times (clearly all have failed) so obviously I don't fear death. I welcome death. At my worst of times I hope for death.

But I think of those I love, and for the handful who love me. I do suffer from a mental illness where depression is a symptom and is very severe in my case. My disorder, statistically, has the highest rate of suicides of all the mental illnesses, including Major Depression.

If you want to learn more feel free to PM me. I am very open and educated about it.

4 years ago I witness my mother's horrific death. Seeing someone die like that - especially someone so close to me.... just made me see things so differently. But the suicide attempts came before that though. I began feeling depressed when I was 13. She died when I was 19.

It's scary not knowing what happens after you're dead. That, and I'd hate having to be excluded from the joys of living. That's why I plan to stop aging at 24 and become an almighty, immortal being

No, I'm not scared of dying honestly. I'm more scared of how people will react to my death. I guess I'd like to die in the least painful way as possible, but if I got beaten to death I would be kind of scared.

 

[Mushrooms]

I'm kinda afraid. I believe when you die, you are born again. But I ALSO believe in Heaven, but sometimes I ALSO think it's just black nothing. Ugh, I'm ten, gimme a break.

No, I don't. I'm deist so there's no "paradise" waiting for me, which you would think would make me even more scared of death. I'm not scared of death, I'm scared of time. I'm scared I won't have enough of it, or too much of it.
Everything must die, there's a beginning and an end. I've come to terms with it.
I think when I die it'll be just like when I was put under anesthesia. I fell asleep and there was nothing. I didn't dream, there was just darkness and that was it. I was gone. Then I woke and was fuzzy, didn't quite know where I was for a minute. I think death will be like that, minus the waking up part. Just eternal blackness, and I'm alright with it.

I hope I have just the right amount of time on this earth, not too little and not too much. I don't want to miss out on living the only life that was given to me, but I don't want to become so old that my brain feels like it's overloaded with everything I've been through. Death to me is a much welcomed and sometimes needed rest.

I'm just scared about death being painful -- will i be shot? Will I be sick or a few years? etc.

I would like to add, since I've been reading some stuff and just realized some other stuff too.

I'm scared of what will happen after I die. I'm scared it's just black nothingness, and it's dangerously quiet and I'm just floating there doing nothing. It makes me think, "Wow, this is it. I'm really dead, aren't I?" ...and some other stuff. I'm also scared of what will people's reactions be when I die. The kind of questions that pop up in my mind is:

-Will people be affected by my death-- in a good way/bad way?
-Will people remember me-- in a good way/bad way?
-Did I make any sort of impact on Earth? Whether it's an impact on people's lives or just in general?

Other than that, those 3 things are what scare me about death. I am scared of (close) loved ones dying, but I'm not scared of death in that case, I'm more scared of losing that person forever and never seeing that person ever again. Lol, I'm sorry if that last sentence sounded depressing.

Just out of curiosity here, but do deists deny an afterlife? I know deists certainly believe in God, I just thought they didn't believe in his influence on the earth.

 

[Beary]

I don't believe that there is heaven, or that I am reborn.
So I am absolutely terrified.

 

[Spongebob]

No but I fear death to others

 

[Jinglefruit]

This was my first thought at this thread.


Anyway, I don't fear death. And I'm sketchy on any sort of afterlife, but between my family there's been too many close to home ghost stories for me to say I don't believe in all that. I just don't feel that's whats in store at the end.

My favourite idea on life after death is the egg story.
But I honestly believe that at the end of the day all of this won't matter at all and there will just be the death of the universe and nothing left. And I'm weirdly okay with that.

I fear death. I love life, and, death is the last thing I want. But, it's inescapable. All you can do is hope that, before you're dead, there becomes a way to avoid it.

 

[Aryxia]

I'm more afraid of the people around me's deaths than my own. I don't want to be permanently left alone. As for an afterlife, I believe in heaven, although I'm not entirely sure if it's of my own volition or due to the fact that I was raised in a fairly religious household.

[Sanaki]

Not at all.

 

[MagicalCat590]

No, death is natural and comes to all beings. I believe that when someone dies, they are reincarnated again and again until they reach perfection (or enlightenment). Once they do, they get to be happy forever.

 

[Yui Z]

I fear the death of other people more than my own. I've cried in my sleep from nightmares I've had about losing family or friends, while I've only been shocked/stunned from nightmares where my own life is at risk.

From what I believe, I know where I'm going when I die.

 

[Ray-ACP]

I believe after death there is something, i'm not sure what that is but i'm basing my thoughts off real experiences i've read where people have temporarily had their heart stop beating and mention things which is similar to astral projection and come back. I can't say for sure but I think there's more spirit to us than you can see on the surface.
