Quarantine existential crisis

Hell is for children bro. Made up by the church to keep the plebs in line. Don't buy into that. Everyone dies alone. Accept it. Move forward. If you're lonely adopt a shelter dog or cat.

Sorry, but I believe everyone dies alone. Cases that there is a family member holding your hand are extremely rare.

Kids can send you to a retirement house, never visit. You can end up in a hospital and pass alone in the bed. You can just have a stroke, fall down and that's it.

If you are lacking meaning there are a lot of things you can do for the community as a volunteer. Other people should never give you meaning. It makes your life living hell when those people move on and everyone does at some point.

OP, do you get panic attacks over the period of time before you were born? Religions are strangely quiet about that time... Also you and I and we all die alone. And death is inevitable. Even if we find out a cure for all diseases and aging. This star we're orbiting will explode. And the next, and the next a.s.o. So why fear something inevitable?

Life is more than taking a dump, eating and working. Its what you make out of it, so if you want to do something, just do it. But the system wants to make us believe otherwise...

Dying is inevitable. But slowly dying with a nagging housewife, oh boy...

Whoever finds himself in a deep spiritual pit like that should consider magic mushrooms. They are not for everyone and you should know what you get yourself into, but despite public opinion if you know what's happening and don't start with a super high dose they are safe(!) and they deliver on spiritual experience where religion doesn't. Helped me a great deal - and, on a side note: it's nowadays used in studies against addiction (not by replacing the addition but actually breaking the cycle), chronical depression and PTSD. In all areas study show overwhelming results so far.

I went through the same shit about a year ago. I lived through something that triggered a fear of death I haven't had since I was a child, and it haunted me every night for a few months. I'm very glad I recovered from these dark, dark times. In the Asmongold v Dr. K interview, they mention exactly that same experience (extreme anxiety at night thinking about death and the void), and Kanojia suggests that the solution, found through meditation (and probably shit like DMT and shrooms, not gonna lie) is to "let go of our attachement to life".

Well, I started fearing the void before I even entered primary school. (Maybe first grade, but definitely around age 6 to 8.

Only after i have a set goal of reaching early retirement at age 26, do those fear become very infrequent.

Keep yourself busy, have a long term goal, focus on your health and wealth. Think about how you'll benefit young men by sharing your experience with them once you made it.

Also, train yourself to "not think about it". But rejecting it from your train of thought.

you will die alone anyway !!

as a man , you need purpose and meaning to go through life , kids are the better way for it

lets say its our own biological clock

find these purpose and meaning for your life or have kids

I just cant stop thinking about nothingness and the void after death or if religion exists will I burn in hell forever. All this empty time is giving me too many scary thoughts.

I humbly, strongly recommend A Liberated Mind, which has helped me with repetitive troubling thoughts.

They only way you're not dying alone is if you're in a plane or bus crash. We all die alone in the end, don't spend the rest of your entire life all for the final fleeting moments of it which you have no idea of when it will finally happen.

Imagine spending all of your life miserable and hating every day of life just so that you won't "die alone".

Dude I get what you’re saying, it’s normal. I think about that some nights I do but I always resort to “so what”. Who cares. Everything we fight for in society and everything we do doesn’t mean anything and in less than 100years we are all going to be gone and then the next generation will take over and so on until one day it’ll end for all humans. Dude we don’t care what happened before we got here, why care about it after you leave. If there’s a heaven or hell just ask God “what did you expect to happen?”

I don’t mean to make you depressed, just to see how it’s ok. No matter what you do or don’t do, you’ll be ok. Find a tv show to get lost into, or a book series or movies or games. Or just go out in nature if you can, if you can’t watch nature documentaries and you’ll see the animals just survive for today that’s it. Dude it’s all ok don’t worry too much. Shit will happen or not.

Death is an inevitable part of life. Fearing it, imo, is as illogical as fearing the sunset.

For me, learning to accept that’s it’s the natural endpoint of sentient life, almost forced me to do as much as I can with my limited time. For if I’m going to be returned to the void once I pass; akin to the timeless abyss of pre-birth, I may as well spend my days following the subjective passions of the heart.

Man i have gone through that state of anxiety too many times, and what happened was that i was always thinking about some random facts of the future and could not live the NOW!

Instead of enjoying my time having fun with friends or hobbies i was just wasting time worrying about some shit.

Reading The Power of Now by Eckhart Tolle helped me a lot with it.

Fuck all these thoughts about the future that your brain is overwhelming you with, try to calm your mind.

Whatever your situation, accept it fully.

If you dont like something, take action to change it, leave the situation, or surrender and accept it, all else if madness.

Suffering for outcomes in the future that you dont even know that are going to happen is insane, LIVE THE NOW!

Also whenever you worry about death remember that line:

"Death does not concern us, because as long as we exist, death is not here. And once it does, we no longer exist."

Hope that helps, stay strong bro!

Congrats, this "Oh Shit" moment is part of transitioning from a knowledge-gathering phase to a wisdom-developing phase. Don't take drugs or stop thinking about it or meditate all your emotions away. The fear of death is the driving force of all human accomplishment. Use it.
