To all the fellow sufferers of anxiety,
Ever since I was a young child I have suffered from an extreme phobia of death. If I so much as think about it, I will have hot flushes and feel faint. My mind cannot fathom the thought of being here on earth, creating all of these loving relationships, and then having it all erased.
I'm not a very religious person, so I don't have the comfort of saying to people 'see you on the other side' When for me, I still can't consider my dreams as a solid proof of reincarnation but I'm choosing to believe it because I would very much like that it truly exist.
I believe this fear is a large reason for my anxious and depressive personality.
Does anybody have any feedback on their thoughts, feelings, and fears of death? I think I just need to talk about it.
Hugs to all
from a biochemical point of view , there is not much different between an live body and a dead body at some hours to distance before and after the heart stop of beating.
by other way, body cells take some hours for die alls. the fact is, at least for me, that on dead corpse, if the different is not much into biochemical structure, but into the fact that a living body continue exchange molecular substances and have cells activities that miss into a dead. so life is movement, transformation, death is static, stagnation, paralysis.
that's by a strickly physical point of view.
about me, i had ever a dark fantasy. i was really obsessed by nightmare with death into my teen age, expecially on 12 age, when i did a dream very very very scarry.
it not related to my death or death of my family.
when i dream the death.. i dream really ..,the Death. skeleton with black shoroud cape hooded and scythe, understood?
well, so i can understand your fear. i can tell you that i risk my live a tons of time for heal problems so i know something about that, also if i never had true coma or heartbreak, for my luck.
but i drowned on my childhood and i had an anaphilactic reaction to an antibiotical. ... well, what can i tell: is scarrying? yes, of course is it.
is like a horrible force that force to lost coscounsness and fall into "mud" into a certain sense the feelingis that. you have sleep and is not a normal sleep but is a sleep that you Can't move away, is not possible to stay awake.
is like a wall of darkness and total black.
by other way, is also part of life.
can't exist life without death you know?
we need to eat animals and plants for live (so kill other creatures, expecially animals, plants can survive cause we need just some parts of that and not all the plants).
well, also, dead feel into new life with decompoistion process.
i not guess that forest and tree and ground can be good for grow new plants and substain life without the cycle between life and death.
also, without death and with immortality, well, we are 7 billions of peoples now and planet resourches are not sufficient for satisty all necessities of that...
do you image a world with immortal folks? should really come into the biological collapse...
i know, mine maybe are justphilosophical consideration, but the fact is that we are on earth only with a temporany passage.
so, past life or not, cause there will be not however another life when you are what you are into that life, instead of think to death... not get that this become an obsession, instead try to live into the better and happies way everyone of your days, enjoy every single minute and moment that you are into that world and be thanks for that, also if you are not a religious person so maybe you not know what you should thanks for that...
but the point is that now you are alive. understand? ^_^
