Scared of Life
Posted , 5 users are following.
Whenever I am alone, doing nothing at all. Just in my own thoughts I become panicked about the world. The is REAL life, not just a game that goes over and over. I am so scared that when I die, I will have nothing but darkness. I will not be living. I am literally begging to stop this, I really just want to look at what I'm doing NOW. Not later in life....... whenever I see or hear the word death or anything related, even writing this made a static go through be, scary static. I really need to stop thinking or this will honestly...... overtake my life.

I get what I think is a similar feeling, I call them "reality attacks" where my brain remembers that I am me, I am alive and one day I will die and my thoughts will die.
In fact writing this just brought a little one on! I've been taking sertraline for anxiety and these attacks and so far it's getting a little bit better 👌
If it is seriously affecting your life go talk to a doctor, they cab offer you loads of help (:

Do you play a lot of video games? I mean in a sense life is a game...it's a game of how one performs. I don't want to preach existential philosophy so ill just state obvious facts...being aware of one's mortality is a part of living as a human and it's what separates us from animals. I guess some scientists would argue that this is an evolutionary advantage or a disadvantage. My only helpful non-preachy suggestion is that you can learn to choose when you need to think about it, when it is possibly is a self destructive train of thought and when it isn't. Everything can have a place, if it becomes too much to deal with you can see a therapist, because therapy is a great way to talk to someone if you need to do that, to be heard without judgement.
