I(26m) am so scared about dying ever since I was a kid it truly makes me terrified. I was raised and still am catholic so I do believe in that but it’s still so scary to consider the alternative. (Repost because I forgot to accept the rules before my last one)
Like what if we genuinely just die and don’t remember anything and are never conscious again? That’s so insanely depressing. I do believe in heaven and I try to keep my faith but even the priests when I was younger said it’s ok to question things as it could just deepen ur faith. The thing is I am like soo terrified of that. I don’t want to lose my memories and who I am and everything :/. I genuinely can’t wrap my head around it and it causes me constant stress and anxiety. Even seeing my grandparents have health issues rn I’ve seen my grandpa seem genuinely so scared and confused and like that realization that you’re never really going to be ok with dying it’s always going to be scary. Imagine completely never existing again like ? Will it just be darkness forever ? Writing this out is just scaring me more and it truly makes me cry like I don’t know what to do. I know I’m still young and this shouldn’t worry me but even when I first considered this as a child I remember feeling so scared I started crying.
Sorry for the long post and thank you in advance if you even read it. Hopefully I’m not too crazy
