Death

Does it bother you?

I've had a bad experience in the last few years. I od'd at a festival. Properly out for the count and was pretty much gone. I feel bad because of the people around me worrying but when I was gone... I WAS GONE. Complete serenity.

So I no longer fear death. Loss of consciousness is something we do on a daily basis.

Not really afraid of death, but afraid it might come and I didn't lived "to the full extent", and that realisation keeps getting stronger by the day.

I firmly believe that when we sleep, we're just practicing experiencing our trip to the inevitability.

Not existing sucks, and that bothers me, but I'm positive when I get there it wouldn't even matter cause, you know, i'll be DEAD. Dead people can't think or feel or do anything.

Not only that, we haven't existed for eons before the present. Nor do we recall anything from our infancy to childhood because our brains are still developing. So when you take all that into consideration as long as you don't overthink it, everything will be alright in the end.

Nope,because I have died...several times lol.
In 2015 several times heart stopped beating entirely and was shocked back to life by the ICD implant. Like mentioned it was like going to sleep. Just nothing,unaware of existence. I only became aware again when I felt a massive explosion in my chest. Wasn't painful just a big boom I could feel. That was the shock from the implant restarting the heart. Happened a few other times. It's scary simply because you can feel it about 6-7 seconds before you die. It's not pain just a physical difference and you know. So they added another lead to the ICD put me on Sotalol. It helped change some things. Now I do not fear my own death. I fear I won't live happily enough before I do die for good. I also fear the death of my immediate family. 2015 wa snot a fun year for many reasons and that was just one of them lol.

Well, I don't fear the act of dying, but I fear being dead. More than that I fear being dead after having not done anything interesting. And further than that, I fear the death of my loved ones.

Are you for real? Really WTF on that!

And as for the OP, idk I guess people always say they are not of afraid of death but it all changes in the moment they are actually dying.

Oh yeah, of course.

I imagine it's like a rollercoaster. The anticipation will be the worst part of it then the actual "plunge" will be the most horrifying thing ever. Then you get used to it and eventually everything will be okay.

But there are people who had near death experiences that were absolutely terrifying too. So there is that.

Im looking forward to death, but I ain't quite done here doing the life thing yet, all kinds of things to be done and such. I would hope by the time my body's ready to die there'll be some science around to make it cool. Like shutting down the self-monitoring system in the brain that all works together to make me think that I'm "me", then.. idk, being put in some house for dying folk and existing like some wandering spirit till I drop dead lol
