Never forget death
Does the fact of death unsettle you, or are you like me, do you view it as a relief or a lingering escape plan.
I can understand the thought that one dies can instill a sense of hopelessness or melancholy at times or even a futile urgency. Ye get these wee pockets of euphoria, sure, but for me life is all too often like a long meandering avant-garde film that ye sit through under the impression that it is an important film and there is some sort of ineffable, inherent value in sitting through it. |

thinking about death makes my stomach feel sick. it's constantly on my mind, somewhere in the back, even when I don't want it to be. it didn't used to bother me, but as more people in my life die it follows me. I've thought about going to a therapist to deal with it before it gets worse. I know it will get worse. pretty much hate it.

I don't mean to be rude Mr frost but you are far too young to be wondering or even worrying about the fact of death. You have plenty of time ahead of you before it will become a personal issue or concern. I'm nearing 50 now and it is something that crosses my mind from time to time. Especially when I realise that I probably don't have enough time left to achieve all of my goals...
Having said all of that, I have now reached an incredibly happy and contented phase in my life which comes hand in hand with how long I have survived this mortal coil. I love the avant-garde film analogy though... just think if you sit through it a while longer you may reach a point where the next frames may not feel quite so meandering, and the pockets of euphoria are more frequent. |
what is life without death

There'll come a time when all of us must leave here.--George Harrison, "The Art of Dying"
Jesus, I struggled through this before I was even 12. |
We all have death issues to varying degrees. I feel like I'd be okay to instantaneously die in some freak accident. As long as I had no clue that I would die or I didn't see it coming, it'd be kind of nice. I wouldn't have to deal with any of the grief of knowing I was about to die.

in light of some recent events, i accept death. i'll die when i die, whether it's in an hour or in 80 years. i'm cool with it. it's gonna happen sometime. i'm not losing any sleep over it, i'm just gonna live my life and enjoy myself and whenever jesus or santa claus or allah or buddha or the devil or whoever decides they've had enough of me then fine.

I want to know I'm about to die. None of that passing in your sleep or anvil from the sky crap. |
I enevr thought of death as a scary feeling until a couple months ago. i think I can accept dying....I'll never know until the tme comes but yeah. I've realized yes it's a scary thought....or at least can be. All I know is that don't want to get used to staying here maybe.
|
i accept death, although i do feel that i'm wasting my time. there's work to be done but no one cares.
|
i don't want to die while sitting at the internet, looking at porn
|
everything unsettles me
I'm like a chihuaha |
A while back I started thinking about how I might be found dead. So I started being more conscious of how well groomed I was and what I was, and even what I was doing and where.

death makes me horny.

I agree with you on this point, however many people deal with death at an early age that it is just ingrained into them. I am not speaking of parents dying, I mean people around them. Friends, neighbors, etc. To the OP, it doesn't unsettle me. I found it that it will happen, and nothing I can do would stop that. To be immortal you have to be a known artist, or president. |
I'm fine with it.
Its interesting enough, and the ways it effects the lives of living things great and small always is. As far as human life goes...hah. No big deal. In terms of time, even just of this planet...an exhale. The odds of it all....of life...of me ! I love it so ! But at the same time, I cant become too attached. It leaches the respect and that love out of it, it makes it a possession, it makes me feel higher than I am...as luscious as that can be...at the same time, I cant feel too small either...it makes others take what I leave. There is so much intense love for the things that are right there...like yourself...right there. Just because you are there. Of all odds. The ability to even comprehend the language I am transmitting to you, it is carried to you, from me to you. Just becuase of that luck, and that ability, and that you receive it....that link, of all life forms, of all transmission....wow. |
"Death has gone."

I long for the sweet taste of death. I am not scared of it. Life scares me more. I cannot comprehend how any one could want to be immortal. That would be like hell. I cannot find very much happiness here. I know I should be. I have alot to appreciate, but that does not make me happy.
|
I've already been there a few times and revived by drugs, paddles etc. I haven't seen anything on the other side that I remember or scares me. I figure I'm going in my 80's so
I still got 30 years give or take a few. |
I do not want to get that old. My body is starting to feel bad enough at 31.

my own death i dont really worry too much about but the thought of losing someone close to me that i love is a painful one and something that haunts me at times, especially when i was growing up.
|
we've all got it coming. worrying about death is like worrying about puberty, or breathing.
that being said, i hope I live long enough to where the technology is available to fully upload my brain into a self-repairing synthetic android body, in which I oculd explore the bottom of the ocean for millenia, never coming up for air, or launch mysflf out into space, and drift through the galaxy. |

I know! I quit em about 2 months ago. Sorry just oneof those days...and the thread was here so ...today is better. Not that I don't enjoy life or respect it or that i am even whining that mine is so bad. I know that most of you can relate to that.:) |

whoa sister, wintercoming is the worst time to quit your meds, with the shorter daylight hours and what not. get back on that horse & get yourself some terapia. if you don't take care of yourself then you can't take care of anyone else. |

Ya know yr right about the winter thing. I get so depressed when fall gets here. I still take my xanax I have been thinking about actual therapy though. I just savor every minute of good days I like being happy :D |
"happy" (psychologically speaking) seems to be just as much of a brain disorder as "sad" is not that weird?
|
Manic depression man
