SPN wrote I really need help it's been like this for nearly 3 years I can't ever sleep at night unless I pass out cos I'm too tired because I'm so scared of death. I know it's not coming soon for me but I just can't stop thinking that life is pointless because all you do is work, pay bills and die. It scares me to think of what's after death like what will happen? Will we just never know anything again we won't even know that we're dead we just won't exist I can't wrap my head around it, it stresses me out so much to a point where I get really angry and just want to break stuff or hurt myself.

Please I really need help do you think I need a psychiatrist?

PLEASE PM ME! If you want to talk im here for you! I went through something similar man! please talk with me or someone!

Well.. No one is sure what will happen after death .. right? So how about ... You go out, and start living your life to its full potential?, because after all ... we have one life, so why bother wasting it thinking about what will happen after death.

so .... don't worry

You shouldn't be worried. I've come to terms with this subject. There is nothing you can do to prevent death as well as whatever happens to us post death. If there truly is an "eternal nothingness", all we can is wait for it to come. We won't even know any different when the day comes. We are a living thing, and every living thing dies one way or another. It's just a sad inevitable. I'm sure alot of other people wonder these things just as we do but there is nothing we can do but live our lives to the fullest until that day comes.

bro thats prety scary i would see someone i used to have a fear when i was 12 but 15 now and nothing i think its stress related/sign of depression i seen it on the internet a sign can be "living for nothing" like there no pont in living but your scared whats "after life"what happens some people think they work all the time for nothing then die and they think after life is just the thought of being suffercated in a warm box in pitch black so maybe try and relax i carnt say thats true as i dont know what happens after death lol but i just hope its good xD

Finally someones going through what i've been and still going through, i remember when i was young a couldn't stop crying about me dying and my parents dying and me thinking to myslef my life will be worthless without parents etc, i moved away from the whole idea about death because i was enjoying life but i know how you feel, i Love my life right now and i wish it would never end so i sit up till the early hours of the morning thinking about it.

I'm actually scared to die, being stuck in a coffin / or being cremated and i'm just not in life anymore i'm just nothing it's hard to explain but i go through it every day and it will never go away - maybe talk to a councilor or a therapist but i personally have no one to talk to because it's not like anyone can change the fact that were going to die because it's impossible.

If you ever need to talk to me PM me or IM me, I'm here for you bud

I have been told this many times but I just have the urge to know what happens i'm not having suicidal thoughts or anything but it is just annoying how we live around 80 years and when we die there is just nothing, it just all seems pointless.

Scary thing but you just need to find a way to accept it, nothing you do will change it or prevent it. You just need to convince yourself it'll be okay.

I spoke to my closest friend about it and he said he isn't bothered because he knows it's gonna happen but i'm scared because I don't want to ever be separated from my family I just wish we lived forever or at least there was real proof of a afterlife or something that way I wouldn't be scared because I know it won't just all be over.

I wish I could do that but I don't feel that way it just all seems worthless like we just build up our lives for it to end so quickly, it might seem like a long time for some people but life is really short.
