Sharkie posted:In all seriousness, have you attempted to make peace with the idea that one day you will not exist? As someone who has a lot of difficulty making peace with that idea & who also cannot engage in supernatural fantasy for whatever reason, I have to say that I do not recommend this state of being (...not that it's necessarily avoidable anyway. Though at least meds make it manageable, I guess).

Rexicon1 posted:I say this compassionately: don't fear death, enjoy your life as much as you can and recognize that humanity is actually on the whole a really great thing. You are going to not exist someday. I wouldn't call my emotional response to the idea of death 'fear' per se; it just gets me really down. I really, really want to know for myself what things will look like in 100 years, in 1000 years, in 10,000 years... I want to look at a more realistic, geological timescale and gain that perspective. It's a burning curiosity that will never be filled for me, and it depresses me to know that in fact nobody will ever have that kind of perspective because our lovely bodies have such terrible shelf lives. But oh well, it is what it is.
