i feel really anxious about dying.
not about when i am going to die, about how i am going to die, but about dying.
when we die, our brain stops functioning. and the idea of suddenly losing my conscience is really scary. there's going to be a moment where i am going to stop thinking and i can't do anything about it.
there is no way that's just it, in one moment we exist, then the other we don't. there must be something that happens after we die. i think the uncertainty of it is what makes it really scary. we can't tell exactly what happens after we die because there's no one here to tell us, the people who go through it are all, well, dead.
and i think that this fear about dying has been on humans beings since we gained conscience. think about it, for millions of years now we have come up with ideas of other dimensions that we will go when we die or about how we are going to reencarnate in another life after we die, and many other things. all of that because we don't want to accept that we are going to lose our consciense, and there's nothing we can do about it because it's the natural order.
and i understand, dying is scary.Â

Man, I Love your blogs. I've recently started to feel similarly. I don't want to lose my thoughts, my memories, or my feelings because I feel like those are the things that make me me. Since life as we know it now is all we really know, I guess it's just scary to imagine it as otherwise.

It's scary because when you die you can't feel somethig like calmness or fear; just nothing. our brain is our consciousness, and when the brain dies, our capacity of feeling is gone.

i somewhat accepted it that we'll die one day, i just accepted that this is how life works but i also kinda see it as a cycle. i mean i saw one day this idk picture i guess where the life cycle of a salmon was shown. it changed my perspective on death, cuz it was like a star, next salmon roe, then different stages of salmons life, in the end death and its bones turned into dust and then into star again. So i believe everything is connected and it makes me feel peace, i feel like everything will be okay in the end

I totally understand why you're afraid of dying, for me though I'm actually pretty excited!! I mean I know that sounds morbid or worrying but I think of it like this- The world is so beautiful and its lovely too enjoy it when you can, but I think being dead will be like a long peaceful sleep, your bodies always working overtime putting all of its effort into pumping your blood and chugging you along. As we drift off our scars will heal and our bones will stop aching and finally, your heart will stop beating and your blood will stomp pumping and every bit of your body can finally experience well deserved sleep and rest and healing. I think it'll be like the best sleep you've ever had and all the nightmares and bad experiences will wash away, and you'll have the best dream you've ever had, and when your brain finally goes too sleep you wont even realise it.
this is a really unique look on death. a lot of people talk about it as a eternal sleep but never in a positive way like this.

I am terrified by the idea of dying, but I am filled with intrigue. What happens after that? Nothing? I am not able to believe that there is "nothing" with how complex the world is, What if dying means losing your body but not your consciousness? I'm terrified by the idea of being locked in a coffin for the rest of my days, what if there really is a god? And which religion is right? Does it just all go black?
i also am always thinks about that and it drives me crazy that theres only one true way to know what happens. and the idea of your consciousness being traped in your dead body is one of the most scariest things that i ever say.
i persobally believe on the reencarnation one, out of all all divine explanations, it seens like the most plausible one.

dying is scary as a tought like wdym it just ends suddenly??
but fr tho i think when people get older they become more ok with the idea of it
yeah, i think as we all growing older, life starts to get tiring and we are more comfortable with the idea of dying because it seems that we finally getting some rest.
