Sometimes, out of the blue I picture myself being taken out of the hospital bed and being put in a coffin. Ever since my father died, and then this war on terror, I've been feeling this cold sharp fear. Fear of what my outcome would be after I died. I've taken medication for it, it seemed to help. I stopped taking it a long time ago and just now that same fear returned. I don't want to be buried in a box, then forgotten about. Please help me feel better.

Here's how to look at it. You're either:

A) Going to be buried. Sad to say, but it happens, and I hear millions of others have tried it. You can, however, specify....

B) Cremation. Burned to a crisp, your ashes will be strewn across a landscape, or even a landplot. However, I'm sure that's more fear inducing than being buried. There's also...

C) Cannibalism. When our robot overlords grow tired of us, they'll release a plage, turning us all into raving zombies, eating each other's flesh. Still nasty, but hey, you fed a hungry mouth.

Now, see, every human on earth is heading to one of those fates. Pick one. It doesn't have to be now, but you better damn well have a will by the time you're 70.

I meant the OUTCOME.... Where I'm GOING IF I'M GOING. It's a thought that scares the bejeezes out of me.

You're not going anywhere. Your conscious will cease to be. You wont realize a thing. Chances are you will be forgotten too.

Your kids will remember you, but when they die so will any last shred of impact you had on this world.

Unless of course you become a celebrity or something, but the chances of that are slim and none.

No need to be scared of something that you'll have no awareness of.

Like I said before, millions-no-billions have shared that same fate. If it happens, it happens. Not everyone is supposed to have a lasting effect, and if your ego can't take the thought of not being known by future generations, then you really need to re-prioritize.

That's the whole "What's the meaning of life?" question. No real answer for it and there's no real point in knowing either. Fact is, we're here. We're not always going to be here, so we might as well have a good time while we are right?

You'll have plenty of time to worry about shit when you're dead, or so to speak...

That's true. I know where I'm going. I'm a catholic, but I'm starting to, like, ask questions in my head.... I can't answer them, and then I freak out.

You don't have to know the answer to every question in life ya know. Some things are better off left unknown.

You really should read some works by Douglas Adams. They really put stuff into perspective vortex.


Erm.

Ok I have something that one of my parent's friends told my mom a few years ago when we saw him shopping at Woodman's the sametime we were. His father was in the hospital and somethign went wrong... I don't really remember what he all said went on but his dad was pratically dead for thirty minutes and the doctor was determined to bring him back with those shock pads they use. He did wake up within that long of a time I limit I do believe and he acted like he just woke up from a night's sleep so to say. Freaky but true though.

I mean everyone has fears of dying and where they'll end up going. Nothing can be done to prevent you to be still talked about after you're gone. Unless of course if you're famous or have done something great in life. But in due time things don't last seeing as death is apart of life.

Just think about how good life has been to you. If that's not the case, just think about how life won't be troubling you much longer... >>

If you are a catholic, I believe fear of dieing is a sin, so you might want to get that fixed.

I used to wonder what would happen if I just died out of the blue one day, wondered if anyone would care. Then I realized, they'll care for a couple weeks, then forget about me almost completely (happened to a girl at my school, really sad actually). So I stopped caring. Completely. I do what I need to do to get through the day, have fun by night, and go on living.

So just go on and don't worry about it, you're 17 for god's sake, you really shouldn't be worrying about anything like this.

Just live your life how you want, worry about that when the time comes.

People, some of you give bad advice. It isn't about completely disappearing, thats just what you believe, don't say its a fact when you're not sure. Believe in any religion, the worse that can happen is you're wrong.

When people say anything like that, you should go ahead and just mentally add "In my opinion..." before it.
