I don’t know if there’s an afterlife. But I keep daydreaming about it.
In reality if there’s an afterlife it could be (much?) worse than this life.
But I keep catching myself daydreaming about it. Surely I wouldn’t be doing this if every thing was fine.
It’s not as bad as it was because I used to be obsessed about it. After my med increase it seems to be just daydreaming now.
Do good things and you probably won’t have to worry.
That’s good that it’s just daydreaming and no longer an obsession. Sounds like the meds are helping. What are your daydreams like?
Just about how great things would be. All my problems solved kind of thing.
It reminds me of when I was a kid daydreaming about growing up. I thought as a kid all my problems would be solved when I grew up somehow.
I guess it’s just an unhealthy form of escapism.
Whenever I think of the afterlife I think of the time before I was born.
I didn’t have any problem with all of the time that came before I was born.
I feel like this is something you could get under control with CBT,
There are some books that would help if you don’t want to go to an actual therapist.
I think Montezuma recommended “Mind Over Mood” another is “The CBT Handbook”.
It really helped me with religious delusions, obsessions, and “daydreaming” (like obsession, but feels less intense).
I think I will give this a try
Two similar threads got closed this week for excessive flags. Not looking for a repeat. Clearly, most people feel afterlife falls into religion territory.
