My birthday is February 16th. (i turned 16) This year, about a day afterwards in school, i went insane. Then i broke down the day after during third block, and i have almost fully recovered, but there's this.. question that i felt that no one needed to ponder because it's not a one man type of problem, or a personal feelings thing. What i had thought so much about that drove me insane was Death.
I don't know what got me onto the thought, but something inside me needed an answer, and i couldn't give it one. I just kept thinking "What if there's nothing?" And then i would have a very strange feeling of nostalgia or pain, and it would tear me up even more inside.
I tried to sleep over a friend's house two days later and i felt fine almost the entire time i was on my way up there... and then i got there... and i had to leave after 10 minutes. My friend asked me if i was okay. I followed up by nodding (which is all i could do) and then he asked again and i broke down (for the second time.) and left.
I slowly got better... but i think my real concern is, "What if there isn't something?" To me, it doesn't make sense, but it does, and that scares me much more than it should. It's no help thati have quite a few of health problems/mental disorders that prevent me from trying new foods or eating healthy foods.
What do you think happens? (If this scares you, sorry, it's a very contagious fear.)

I like to think that there is something. I like to think that we are reincarnated until we learn all there is to learn and then basically become gods.
But no one knows for sure.
There definitely is a chance that there is nothing, that we just become worm food. And that's a little bit depressing and scary, but I'm ok with it overall. Because if this is all that there is, then it just means we need to make the most of it. So I try to have fun, and I try to be nice so that everyone else can have fun too.
So I figure whether I just have one lifetime or all eternity, my goal is pretty much the same anyway. I want to enjoy myself, learn things, and help other people. 3nodding
If you're breaking down over this, or anything for the matter, you should talk to a professional about it if you haven't already. Even if you feel better now, it would be good to talk to someone so that you don't have a breakdown again in the future.
And you should definitely talk to someone about your diet. Because there is a wide variety of healthy foods that are very important for us and our health. If you really have an issue that is keeping you from eating any of them, that's a huge problem that you need to fix as soon as possible.

As a Kid my Grandfather before he died often told me that Death to him felt like end for sure, but a new beginning... Guess I always believed that. because I suppose I believe in reincarnation in a way. I think when I pass on while I am gone my self memories of me will still exist, as will a new set of memories being made as a completely different being. Obviously nobody knows but I have thought about it a lot, and I hope no matter what happens I just hope that it makes more people happy than one person ever could. Though it may just sound a tad silly.

I recently went through this myself. My mind was in a very chaotic state, having racing thoughts and I'd make myself literally cry when my thoughts too much, too detailed, too in depth, too philosophical and no one to speak about it to but to myself. For awhile, I thought I was bi-polar! XD.
After I went under for getting my wisdom teeth done, my head is a lot more peaceful now.
My thoughts on what is after death is that you shouldn't be concerned of the end. This answer comes to us all on our death bed and when we pass. All you can do to make it better is to forget the topic all together or convince yourself that there is something, becoming a ghost, reborn, heaven, etc.

Wow, facebook chat decided that the four paragraphs i had written weren't as important as some one saying hi to me.
So, to skip to the point, i think ghosts are very real. That's not enough for my mind to believe.

Vantineutrasictical Can anyone tell me how A.)They an be okay with nothing after life, Whether there is something after death or not, my goals are the same. I want to learn, have fun, and help people. And if there is nothing after life for me, then there is probably nothing after life for anyone else either. So it's not like I'm really missing out on anything. So what's to get upset about? Vantineutrasictical B.)How i can't believe anything that any one says. C.)Why am i terrified of death, but there's a scarier thought that i might not want whatever the other life might offer. D.)Why can't i enjoy life now... E.)Why i can't even go to a Bon Jovi concert and be happy the day after. F.)I have nothing more to say. I'm just so broken, i can't do anything. Like I said, that's something you have to talk to a professional about. What you're saying doesn't sound healthy, and stuff like that usually doesn't get better on its own.

In the words of my Mum, "I believe that this is Heaven- Heaven on Earth, where we can love and hold and touch and feel everything around us."
I firmly believe in that, and I live my life without worry. I realized my mortality at a young age, and with my mum's words... Don't fear the unknown. Live, Laugh, Love.
Embrace your life- this life- and it'll be alright 3nodding

Like I said, that's something you have to talk to a professional about. What you're saying doesn't sound healthy, and stuff like that usually doesn't get better on its own. I just can't seem to convince myself. I even used science to prove that there could be something, apparently that wasn't enough for me. He was my theory that almost worked (might work): There can not be a plain of no existence because of that same reason. It doesn't exist./T But... there's loop hole thinking method that make me an amazing scientist but not a step closer to any answers. There's the thought that a plane of non-existence has no effect on the mental state of mind and that, even if physical things can't exist in something like that. But then mental things would be assumed as legit "things" and now they can;t exist in something that doesn't exist because it's illogical. It's a terrible paradox that become extremely un-amusing and very irritating.

It's also not a good thing to have a bipolar sister who is making things more stressed...

Well... I believe in life after this one, in Heaven, God etc. so it doesn't really bother me to think about dieing, well, i think it bothers me to a certain degree cuz of not really knowing what it's gonna feel like, the unknown and all.
But it's not a 'fear' though.
But just try to live your life and just think about your life in the here and now and try to enjoy it.
That's the best advice i've got for ya. ^^
BUT if it's an uncontrollable fear and you went on the verge of going insane about it then I suggest you go see a psychiatrist/therapist about this, they may be able to help you.
I had to go to a therapist for my fear of 'social situations' (Social Phobia/Social Anxiety) and my therapist has helped me LOTS!
So i suggest if you can't control this fear and it runs your life to the point that's all you think about and you're depressed then get some help.

Breath in,
No one can force you to believe something, but I'll tell you my view.
When I was around 8 or 9, I accepted Jesus Christ as my personal savior. At such a young age, you might think I couldn't have been serioius, but I was.
I've had a rocky road, with a few twists along the way, but my relationship with God has grown so much, and I know I can always trust him.
I used to worry about death. "Oh my gosh, what's really gonna happen?" but the Bible says that Jesus is "The way, the truth, and the life." and I know in my heart, that he's forgiven my sins and I'm Heavenbound. But Christianity isn't just praying a prayer, it's an entire life commitement of saying "Okay God, let me try to be the person you want me to be."
I still have bad days, I have my own moments where I want to break down and cry. But God has never left my side.
Some don't believe in God, and that's their own choice.
But I know what it feels like to be convicted and have a guilty conscience. But I also know what it's like to get in God's presence, and pray to him. I know exactly how that peacefulness feels.
So, you'll have to figure things out for yourself and make your own decisions.
But I assure you, if you give God a chance, he'll never fail you nor forsake you. He'll never leave you. "Even though I may walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I fear no evil, for thou art with me."
If you have any questions or just want to talk, you can PM me.
Again, this is all your choice. Everyone has the right to freewill.
Breath out.
