How afraid I am to die. I can imagine dying on antipsychotics will be really uncomfortable and with my vaping addiction being stuck in the hospital will be miserable. Im very afraid. Those are my thoughts for today.
I too have poor health from a decade of insomnia. I find myself thinking about death almost on a daily basis. It’s hard not to when the body is signaling that it’s in bad shape with pains and aches in the chest and such.
I don’t expect to become very old, but I will do what I can to try.
I’m not afraid of dying. I’m afraid of not living. What good is a long life if I do nothing that makes me feel alive during it? I’m going on another solo run down the river this weekend. Not the safest activity, but if anything goes wrong at least I go out on my terms.
I’m not afraid of being dead for me it’s the fear of will it hurt. I think about this to often myself.
The thought of the possibility of my consciousness being gone for eternity scares me.
At the same time, I believe there is something after death.
I think about death more often now that I’m older. My dad dying really stirred things up a lot.
What’s distressing to me is how your perception of time changes with age. It speeds up. I feel like in the blink of an eye, it’ll all be over.
I have been thinking about death too, whilst sick. All i know is unless i improve my karma, its gonna be hell. (Delete if not allowed)
I can’t help but think of dying; I’m at the age when I often see people my age and younger dropping dead from heart attacks and strokes and cancer. I’ve got the basic health problems; I’m overweight and have diabetes and high blood pressure. Sometime I seriously, seriously worry that my heart is going to give out and I’m just going to drop dead or worse, be seriously incapacitated. It’s a real worry.
I try to plan for dying. I know it’s futile- nothing goes as planned- but I do it anyways. I’m hoping my husband and I live to be old farts together, yelling at kids to get off our lawn.
I not afraid of death, Im afraid of a painful journey getting there.
I admire your adventurous spirit @shutterbug.
I would yell at them now while you still have the energy.
I hereby challenge you to go out, walk for at least half an hour, take some pictures, and post your favourite one to the SZ Photo Club thread.
You got this @Mr_Hope.
I’ve been thinking about this too specifically. While quitting caffeine recently I thought about that when I’m dying, it will be better to die without caffeine. (unless I start again).
Still got the nicotine addiction though.
I hope I get a quick sudden death, like a deadly stroke when I’m 70 or older.
They’re not that sudden and they are very painful. I was lucky to survive.
I’m 38 and if I don’t lose my weight I see more problems in the future. I feel like my weight is actually now starting to get in the way. I’m kinda afraid of the uncertainty of death, but my view is that we may be going home. I’m not ready yet though.
The upside is if we’re in hospital or detained we’ll get of nicotine and only have to go through the withdrawal.
I used to believe I was going to Heaven. Now I’m worried about Hell. It’s a constant mental battle for me.
I try not to think about it at all in order to not feel the anguish.
I’m not asking for religious beliefs or response because I know it’s against the rules. I’m just stating my fears of death and beyond
I wish you well. Keep your spirits up. Christmas is coming soon and hopefully it reminds you whats important. You are a good person, a good mother , a loyal spouse and someone I have enjoyed talking to for a long time. You are also very pretty. Not meant as a flirt just an observation. All the best.
Was that reply meant for me @Bowens ? If so, I do love Christmas and time with family. It’s so important. And thank you for your kind words.
