ArrowHawk11 30 Posted July 6, 2014 hi guys, long time no see. Sorry I havnt been here in a while because ive been quite busy lately, especially with college and summer vacation. I know this may sound rather stupid but my biggest fear in life is death. Yeah I know cazy right? That should be the last thing to think about. Unfortunately as of late I have been thinking about it quite often. Especially if there is life after death or will we just cease to exist. And that part has me worried. I respect all forms of belifes and scientiffic views and someone has. to be right. But which one? Its starting to bug me because i grew up with a christian faith and sometimes i question it too. its come to the point where ive been having anxiety over it. I know, prety pathetic isnt it? Perhaps I should stop reading scientific articles about the subject. that seems to fuel the anxiety. But i do enjoy science and controversial subjects. It makes our minds think. Perhaps that is what I do too much is constantly think about it. Im not sure how to over come it but i will discuss this with my tharapist. Just when things are going good another form of anxiety seems to come along. Is ther something wrong with me? I feel prety embarrased to be worrying about death and life after death. Am I having a spiritual crisis? Sorry if this is in the wrong area. feel free to move it. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Steve4AM 14 Posted July 7, 2014 most people fear death, the problem is when that fear becomes obsessive and gets in the way of enjoying life. no matter what, you want to enjoy your life! i would like to believe in eternal life, i think it would make me a lot happier. i just don't know. I hope there is a GOD reading over this watching over us. i like science, but reading articles about no-afterlife is not necessarily going to make us happy, no matter how scientific.

ArrowHawk11 30 Posted July 21, 2014 I feel the same way, I love science and yet belive in god but there are tmes i question the existence of life after death. I'm pety sure one day it will all come together. As for now death is a scary mystery. I sure hope there is eternal life because it sucks if we cease to exist after we die. I try not to let it ruin my day but the thoughts of death always comes back causing depression and anxiety. But sure enough, I've had a few paranormal experiences in my life that cant be explained.

Rheagan 1 Posted September 16, 2014 I don't really have an issue with my own mortality. I obsess over my close family. I'm always in a state of fear over their safety. I couldnt even go off to college because of fear that my mother may have a heart attack, or my brother would fall out of his high chair. Silly things, in retrospect. But they affect me anyway. i just have to cry it out, most of the time, haha. As weird as that sounds. As for life after death? oh man thats a big thing for me. It freaks me out as well. I didnt grow up with religion, but later in life found my way into Christianity. But now, i feel like my veiw of life after death is a mixture of religions and thought processes. The scientific side of me wants to believe that we go into the earth, to become the earth. But the spiritual side of me wants to believe that our souls are real, and just to magnificent to dissipate after death. So really I guess we have to find comfort in realizing, that even if there is no afterlife, we won't know it when the time comes!

ArrowHawk11 30 Posted December 2, 2014 Thats exactly how I feel, my rational and religious mind are always coliding and sometimes its hard to choose a side. But one thing ive find about religion is that it can be very confusing because we dont know who is right or who is wrong. I guess the only thing to do is wait until its our time to go.
