I’m a little bit afraid of death but I’m also very curious to learn the mysteries of the afterlife, and maybe have a better existence than the one I have now. What about you?

I used to be afraid of death. Then I was afraid of dying (as in losing control of my body and the people around me).
I followed the advice of a dozen Tibetan Buddhists and did the sit-still-and-look-right-at-it thing. I have no fear of death or dying anymore. What will be will be, regardless of my (probably innacurate) projections of it.
After all, I am not a fortune teller.
It’s unavoidable… For now.

I recently purchased a cemetery plot - I am ready to go! 
Seriously I fear death because I am human, we just do not have all the answers… but… like you I am curious.
Part of me believes in a better life after we die - I kind of do believe in Reincarnation

I fear leaving my family, but, dying seems blissful.

if you do anything like suicide i mean, it says that you will not get in to heaven (no offence)
so i think it would be best if you just carry on and have the best life you can despite all of your problems,
i think it is better with the proper med and dose for me personally, anyway i hope it gets better for you, i will say a little prayer for you, and dont dwell on this too much bc most people are pessimistic about it, when its your time then it is your time you dont need to force it, take care

But It’s Cause I Don’t Want To Leave What I love On Thus Blue Bubble We All Call Earth ,
Tha Trees Tha Byrds , Yeah and Even tha Bee’s ,
Tha List Goes On ,
One T(Y)me My Voices Asked Me ,
" Do you want to be abducted so all this bad stuff can be left behind ? " ,
and I THOT In A Hairlyne Split Second and Thot About Tha Trees and Was Lyke ,
" I LYKE THA TREES , I DONT WANT TO LEAVE " ,

So It Goes ALSO Into Tha Voyd Of Death and Tha Story That Doesn’t End ,
For Forever Is What They Say ,
So I Dunno ,
I Fear Tha Disgusting Blood Blood and Such ,
But When It Ends As It Has and Having No End ,
I Will Awake From Thus Long Slumber and It Will Imitate Tha Coma Process I Was In ,
and It Mite Nothing Have any Sorts Of Change Perhaps ,
As I Type Away …
So Yes I Fear Death …
But I Do Naught Fear Thee Ending To My Story .

I have ■■■■ to do before I am cool with dying.
But no, not really. I always wanted to die early, I wanted to die before old age and be remembered for something. Now I want to do what I want to do, and once it’s done, ■■■■ it.
At one point in my life I just didn’t want to die a virgin. Lol
I guess I’m ready to die now. I want to do more, a lot more, but I would be okay with it. I would just look back on what I’ve done so far and be cool about it.

I see the humor in the question " Where do we go when we die?" How can we go anywhere if were dead.
I like to pretend that I already died and that this is where I go.

My crippled up body wanted a physical death. It did not happen. We don’t always get what we want.

Sometimes horrified, phobic of death. Other times, I understand it’s inevitable and it doesn’t sound so bad at all when you think of the whole ordeal of living.

Hell no. I’m fascinated by death and dying. It will be a glorious day, day of my death.

At this point in my life, death would be a welcomed change. I’m not suicidal, but I’m so tired of being depressed, and sick of the voices in my head that I can’t control, even with medications…death seems peaceful even if we continue on into an after-life…or get reincarnated, hopefully my next life will be a little easier than this one…I was raised Catholic and believe in in Heaven and Hell, and hope because my life has been enough of a hell for me I could avoid the real Hell. Some people believe everyone goes to Hell, but we were taught Jesus came and died for us so we wouldn’t have to experience Hell if we truly honor and worship him, God the father and the Holy Spirit…along with the help of the Virgin Mary, and all the saints.
I have heard suicidal go directly to hell which doesn’t always seem fair because those of us who have been on the edge know we’ve reached that point because of we can’t handle the pain in our life.But the fear of being sent to Hell for an eternity keeps me pretty well grounded to Earth. I can find the idea of death as peaceful, so long as it comes naturally, or beyond my own control.

I wake up almost every day now hoping to die. I want to die to get out of this life, hoping for heaven, and to see everyone again in the afterlife, but fearing going to hell to the point where I can barely even drive a car for fear of crashing and dying, or worse, becoming crippled for life physically on top of mentally. I was watching this one show about this outcast that was friends with another outcast that was much younger, and when the older outcast was about to die, he was like, at last! I’m finally free from this life! Then he started crying for his younger outcast friend, because he knew his friend would be all alone without him, and then he died. I kind of feel like that, except for the fear of hell part. I want this life to be over, but I don’t want to cause my family pain by committing suicide.

I was raised Pentecostal to believe in a whole bunch of things I don’t believe in anymore.
I hope the administrators are watching this thread carefully. It’s got potential to set things off.
There are some things with the Catholic Church that I don’t believe…like you could say I’m pro-Gay marriage…not gay/lesbian myself, but do support them. If they want to get married who am I to stop them?
I also don’t see the need to go to church every week. I doubt God really cares if you go worship him in a public place or you do it on your terms. Your relationship with him is personal and he knows how you feel about him even if you’re not in a church pew to prove it.
I could ask how you “know” that, but I think we know what that will lead to.
