I don’t understand hell

Firstly, the purpose of this post is not to try to make anybody feel bad about their ideals and whatnot. I just simply don’t understand how someone could justify a sentence of eternal suffering for anyone. I would like to hear somebodies stance on this, someone who disagrees with me preferably.

Essentially, there has never been a single person on this earth that, I would argue, deserves eternal suffering. There is nothing anybody could do that would ever compare to such a thing. I have tried to see it from the other side and hear arguments for it, but no one who says they align with the morality of hell has ever had much to say about it really. I feel that, to justify it, one would have to simply accept that there must be some reasoning that only god could comprehend and we would just have to have faith that he knows better than we do. Other than that I can’t imagine any worldly argument for it.

Let me know what you think. State your case, if you will.

Dying slowly and painfully.

So lately I’ve been having frequent dreams that are highly unsettling at best. I’m afraid to even go to sleep tonight. I’ve been having dreams about overdosing, being hunted and dismembered, multiple false awakenings, etc.

Yesterday I had a dream that I was hanging out with my friends and I suddenly overdosed. I couldn’t move or talk, and was just waiting to pass out. Then after that (same dream) I was outside alone. I was just sitting around, scrolling on my phone and doing whatever. All of a sudden I became very confused, exhausted, dizzy, and otherwise extremely disoriented. I knew something was wrong so I tried to walk back to my house to ask for help but I ended up falling flat on my face on the pavement and I ended up having to pick a rock out from my skin on my face. The pain felt real too. Then later in said dream, I am in my bedroom when I start vomiting blood into my sink. It is at this point that I am sure that I am dying and I decided I would rather let my illness take me than seek medical treatment. Then I go to sleep and within this dream, I had another dream that I was at a party getting drunk with some of my friends. In that dream I remember just feeling terrified about what had been happening to me but keeping it a secret from everybody around me anyways. Than I wake up the dream that was within a dream, so not actually awake yet, and I am one again vomiting blood, disoriented and tired, and feeling like I’m about to pass out. Then all of a sudden a small hole opens up somewhere around my chest or my neck and what seemed to be piss started to pour out, followed by blood. Then I don’t remember what happened after that but I don’t think that was the end of it.

These dreams have generally felt to last for far longer than I was actually asleep, and have been vividly painful at times. I have been going through withdrawals lately so that almost certainly has exacerbated it. Anybody else ever have dreams like this?

It is called r/wearetheproblem . It is a place for people who recognize that they are what is wrong with the world. Feel free to join if you are a bad person. Even if you’re not you can still stop by I guess. I don’t really care. Whatever, don’t join. I don’t care.

I’ve been having nightmares lately. It may just be a symptom of withdrawals from psychiatric medications. I don’t know. I have dreams where I am outside on my own in the middle of the night and I start to have a horrible panic attack and there are people sneaking around in the dark. Then I have a false awakening. I wake up in my old childhood bedroom and I can hear someone coming but I can’t move. I can’t yell for help. Then I wake up for real and I’m not sure if I’m really awake yet. Hell, I’m not sure if I’m awake now as I’m writing this. For context I used to struggle with frequent panic attacks and I’m terrified that it will come back. I don’t know what I can do to prevent it. I have tried psychiatric medications and they help with the fear and panic, but they make my depression and numbness significantly worse and it almost doesn’t seem worth it.
