    Mine isnt about failing, its about not knowing theres something better after. If i just stop existing thats the scariest feeling of existential dread ive ever felt in ny life, and it happens EVRY DAMN TIME i think about it…

      I’m almost the exact opposite. Life is literal hell for me right now and while I’m 90% positive that oblivion awaits, there’s that 10% that comes from being brainwashed growing up that still scares me.

      I wasn’t aware of existence before I was born, and I imagine it will be exactly like that after.

      Knowing my luck though there will be a God, who is just as big of an asshole as the Bible makes it out to be. Hell will be real and I would definitely go there, because even if I were certain that God was real, if it’s the God of the Bible I wouldn’t worship it, not in a million years.

      I find the idea of not existing pretty comforting. There is no afterlife, just an end to existence and perception.

        To lie in the soft brown earth, with the grasses waving above one’s head, and listen to silence. To have no yesterday, and no tomorrow. To forget time, to forgive life, to be at peace.

      God, isn’t that true? The cold black nothing is far scarier than any stress I am living through.

      I saw the video on physics girl’s update and good fucking lord, is ME CFS scary! It scared the depression right out of me (Not really). But I was a lot more scared of becoming more and more tired with every passing day and eventually not even being able to laugh in anticipation of a crash! I feel really really sad for the dude. There’s no cure and he’s been bed ridden for 4 years, unable to do anything other than eat, sleep. The added depression over the grief of loss of life and the shit quality of life is scary.

      I don’t want to invalidate someone else’s pain, so I want to add that everyone’s feelings are valid, regardless of whether they feel scared of the black void or not. Depression can numb the fear of death.
