    I’m only 19 years old and yet I find myself thinking about my own mortality often, the thought of dying gives me great anxiety and distress

    How do I get over this?

    I thought this was the whole point of being religious

    It’s good to be mindful of mortality it makes you appreciate even the little things and gives you a push to do what you want. This life s*** is a one time thing, so....live it the f*** up

    I went through the same phase when I was 23 years old. I think a lot of it is related to the fact that in that time of our lives (late 10s, early 20s) we're getting out of our youth and into adulthood and suddenly you're confronted with the knowledge of how scarily fast your life reached that point. Your childhood and adolescence is practically behind you and you see how mercilessly fast life moves on.

    Plus, I was always kinda scared of death as I don't believe there's an afterlife or anything like that, and I've had OCD and anxiety ever since I was like 14, 15 years old.

    Anyway, when I was 23, one day I just had a strong panic attack at work related to some random thoughts about dying, had to take a week off from work just to get my mind straight.
    I saw a psychiatrist a couple of times, never took pills to lessen the anxiety cause they always had some kind of severe side-effect on me, unfortunately (some caused severe depression, some erectal dysfunction, etc.).
    As life went on, I just kind of outgrew it, honestly. I'm 28 now, married since last year, bout to have my first kid... Life is here and it's happening right now. There's no sense in worrying about what happens once you're gone, cause you'll be gone then, easy as that. All we can do is face our mortality, face the oblivion and laugh at it - enjoy life and the things that make you content and happy.

    Hope this helps, OP.

    This is a quality post

    Yes, in Islam, death is a very scary experience both when it’s happening and afterward, because you see beings you cant comprehend, and if you weren’t a good person your soul will be ripped out in a incredibly painful way

  • Jan 11, 2021

    All the cool, genuine people i know have pretty much all died already. So I’m not really tripping over death anymore

  • Jan 11, 2021

    Yes

  • I’m only concerned about the transition. Wether it will hurt or not and if there’s anything after or not past your brain activity ceasing

    It plagues me.
    Have had it since I was 12 or something. Been a while.

    Comes and goes.
    But it also drives me to my goals. Why live if not for some purpose.

    I find solace in working towards them, at least then when I die I have no regrets.

    In my case it comes from some family trauma i wnt go to deep into

    One of my childhood memories is being around 8 yrs old and askimg my brother if one day we’ll die and crying so it goes back far

    Mine stemmed from a teacher in middle school talking to us about how all planets die and how all things come to an end. Was a unit in science class on astrology . S*** hit different.

    Had an existential crysis in middle school lmao, just never ended.

    Yeah I always convinced myself I had some type of cancer that would kill me. It went away after I accepted that my life probably wasn't going to get better.

  • Jan 12, 2021

    Don’t think about it too much too much too much too much

    There's no need for us to rush it through
