everybody goes through times when they think about death. It is a very scary thing to think about mostly because we don't know what happens when we die. The fear of the unknown is one of the scariest fears that exists. but sweetie, let me ask you this, if you are spending a lot of your time thinking about death and the future, what are you missing today? if I learned anything, it is this. The past and the present are ok to think about, but you have to concentrate more on the now because that is whats most important. if you spend all your time thinking about death, then you missing all the little great things about life. Like cherishing the time we have with the people that we love. instead of thinking about death every day, think "what can I do today that can make me happy and make my life the best life I can possibly live."

i can say that i have to religion.
Im always questioning if im wrong like or if im right if when i die theres gonna be nothing or if im wrong when i die im gonna goto hell but i just wanna live my life without it being wasted away praying and not living to the full with all this purity crap. if i do wrong and my immortal soul will be punished so be it as long as i life a good fun life.

It's not important that you die. Lots of people have done it, and no one gets out of this life alive.
What's important is what you do with the little bit of time you have left.

I'm scared shitless of death, and I feel bad for every death really, and I do know that at least a hundred people have died while I type this message, and I'm a fast typer so...

Well I don't believe in god or heaven or hell, and if I did I think I wouldn't be so scared of death, because what is there to fear? I don't think I would have much respect for life though either if I knew that those that were good go to heaven and those that were bad go to hell, where they deserve.

i'm an athiest and i get suicidal all the time i'm not afraid of death i like it

but during this life i try to make the best of it and when i die leave a positive legacy for the people i care about

the courage to die gives you the courage to live. death is natural. being scared of it won't help any. if it's your time, it's your time, nothing can be done about it. just accept it and move on. if there's one thing we should fear, it's the fear of not dying.

Instant Solution: Don't die. EVER.

No worries, when you die, its like a dreamless sleep.

With my seizures, I don't fall over and froth at the mouth - instead, my sense of self disappears as I watch; usually in horror. I think I can safely say that I have died hundreds and hundreds of times. Imagine the most insane paradox being played right before your eyes, and then imagine being sucked into it. Since you will only die once, I think you'll probably find death to be a pretty fascinating experience...not a scary one. As far as the afterlife is concerned, my opinion is that "you" probably won't be the one experiencing it, so don't worry! ^^

If you're afraid, it shows that you need to figure out a solution to overcome the fear.

Stop being afraid, and focus on living a great life because you have been given one.

i dont thank dyeing is scary i thank it would be fun to be a ghost and haunt the freak out of ppl

I really try to believe in god, but they have practically proved that there is no god. But I know what you mean! where are we going to go? to a whole new universe and star our lives over and over again everytime we die? I am so scared of what might happen. Well, I guess we are just going to have to live our lives and then see.

You should be more scared of what nice things you going to miss in life while thinking of death!Better stop thinking right now because it wont get you anywhere!

the fantasy of hell is just something the church created to draw fear in peoples hearts so they could keep control.you should never b afraid to die because when you die u r aware of nothing and feel nothing.also death covers over all sins. if you really believe in god then you need to believe that if hes supposed to be so merciful why would he condemn you in torture for an eternity. its ridiculous and pointless

I'm terrified of death! It scares me so, so much.
Just try what I'm doing and 'live for the moment' sort of thing. It's working for me.

As for religion they want you to believe in their beliefs so you keep coming back to check in and 'be good' and go to 'their heaven'. Earth is heaven, you are living ON it right now so enjoy it. There is no hell - hell is just a metaphor for 'a place you'd rather not be'. Read Gibran's The Prophet and know YOU are that a little piece of god unto yourself. The story/history of Jesus and all the dietys of all religions are metaphors for you relate to and remind you that you are very important - to you and those who love you -so love them back!

Living forever is much more horrifying then dying. All of our times come, worrying about it won't make it go away. We can't do anything but attempt to enjoy the time we have left and hope that we die without regrets.

i too am afraid to die, because i am afraid i might die while i am not on the Path of monotheism - worshipping only the Creator - and the prescribed way of living that all the prophets of God have called to. check out the website ShareIslam - hopefully it will give you the perspective you're looking for, before it's too late.

I also wonder, sometimes, however I know I am going to heaven and I know it is there. There is something worse than death and that is wasted life. We will all die one day but for now just get on with life

I figure if u are scared rather or not if your gonna go to hell, then do something to fix that problem....go get saved repent your sins. The main thing is you do believe in a god. Sometimes I wonder myself do u just die and that's it or do u continue to live on in Heaven. I am scared cause I haven't done everything I wanted to do yet.

Live your life, with your moral, with your values, don't kill if you were not trained to, don't swear if you were not trained to, do good things, do bad things, always thinking of you before thinking of someone else, love your body, don't hurt it, don't mark it, love yourself, love someone too, marry, leave someone in Earth who can tell your story, your kid, you brother, your sister, your family. And enjoy your life with the person you most love, then let yourself go........

While doing this, never believe in a God or in Evil.

If you die, there's only 2 chances:

1) Nothing besides who you left talking to the next generations who you were, what you did.
2) In a million years, humans (If not suicided yet) gonna be able to rebuild bodies by simply taking DNA from a bone. You gonna born again, but I'm not sure they can bring your old brain, your old memories back, you gonna have the same body, similar appearance if no mistakes were done, and you will never remember about your other life, your love, your family.

THE END

If you can't do this until you die, then you were not worth of living.

Good luck

dont worry about it, death can be anything, the longer you dwell on it the more your of your life your wasting if its bad your worrying wont change it, if its good, your worrying wont change it, whatever it is your worrying wont change it. i think its the same as a dream, if im in a good mood i have good dreams etc. same with death, if you think its gonna be bad it will be. i believe your conciousness lives on and it creates whatever afterdeath you expect

if you spend your life afraid of death you wont have the opprotunity to live your life to the fullest!

For all God does for us, it's really nothing just to trust him. Then we get to be in heaven and be happy forever! Also, if I'm right about God (and I know I am), I win, and those who don't believe lose--big time. If I'm wrong, whatever; doesn't matter either way. I was still a good person. So I'm not afraid of death. It's the process of dying I'm a little nervous about.

Many levels here:

1) the supernatural and an afterlife in heaven or hell ... personally beyond the mystery of what lies ahead, if anything, that's a stretch for me. But if it is a matter of faith for you, as it is for many, then you probably want to do what you need to to get to heaven.

2) the existential ... people can deny their anxiety about death as much as they like, but it is here, in the present, as much a reality of the moment as is life, and often defining life. So if you can make anxiety about death a determination to live well, as others have suggested, then good. Just don't paint a stupid happy face over it and deny that it is an issue.

3) corporeal reality ... since it is inevitable, fear of how we will die and pain is pretty realistic & one of the biggest fears. Anyone with life experience knows it can be a pretty awful experience, despite medical advances & braggadocio about "pain management." Assisted suicide? Hemlock Society? There's real merit in wanting to control when & how you die and not just leaving it to nature and other people imposing their fucked up values on your last moments.

I feel the same way. I went through a very bad time when death was all I though about. It;s taste to say that I most likely have anxiety and or depression. If you find yourself thinking about it constantly, please seek some help. If you think about death too much , you're already dead inside.

You live in America. I've noticed that here in America this is common; so is fear of nudity. IDK y though; we have the some of the lowest morals.......

If you keep thinking about death and how terrified of it you are, then your life is going to suck and you will be on your deathbed wondering what the hell you did with your life.

If you want to be less afraid, LSD and MDMA work well. If you want to be more afraid of dying (more thankful that you're alive), try a ton of pure thc or a high dose of one of the deliriants. One use generally doesn't do that much damage but can change your view on life for a long time, positively or negatively.

When I was 21
yo old I used t
o think of death and it would scare me. How
would I die, when, will I be painful?. I spent many nights worrying about it, then at the age of 24 some friends and I went on a camping trip in mountains of eastern oregon. I was in one car with a friend, while the other group followed behind. Now this is shortly before winter started but in the higher elevations on oregon it snow all the time, being from cali I never knew any of this. So anyway 5 miles from our campsite we hit a patch of black ice, went off road and hit a tree. After that everything went black and the most peaceful feeling came over me. Words alone can not began to express what it felt
like. I felt no fear or pain or sadness, just pe
ace. Anyway I work up two weeks later in a portland oregon hospital with broken bones
and missing one leg. I later learned that I was pretty much dead when we reached the ER. I know what I feels like to be scared of death, but that day changed me. Don't fear it, it will happen to us all and worrying about it won't add a another day to your life. Shit, I had to die in order to live!

Do you remember being born? Probably not, right? Well, I don't think dying will be that dramatic for you either. So many people think 'death' is going to be like this significant phase in their lives, like marriage, or losing one's virginity, going away to college, etc. The truth is: you could just be going to get some potatoes one day and a motorcycle will slam into you - you'll be flipped four times, land on the cement, crack your skull and exhale your last right there, just like that. Big deal!

I don't mean to trivialize life, but I guess I could say the old adage: 'death is a part of life,' just like gravity or light or air is...it's bound to happen just like digesting your lunch or having dreams at night. It's just another law of the world we live in. It's just as real as rocks or dirt or plants...you get the picture

Every man dies, few really live.

I no more worry about death than I worrie about being born.

(google the above paraphased quotes for sources)

If you don't die, then you live forever-- so see everyone you love die? The fear of death can be a fear of all ending, in which cse you won't notice. A fear of going to Hell, so do good. A fear of losing relationships? Relationships change.
