The idea of dying, of being forgotten, of not existing, of being invisible, of not making a mark on the world in any capacity, scares the shit out of me.And it's all I can think about. I'm afraid.
>>34270956We're all going to be forgotten OP and that's okay, we all share the same fate in the end. Most of us make no difference on a global scale, but what you can do is try to make a differemce in the lives of those around you. Think of ways you can help people, volunteer, right now it seems you're thinking way too much to enjoy living. I'm not saying your feelings are meaningless, I've struggled for years with what you're talking about, so now I'm spending my time actually trying to make a difference. And try to think of it this way, in the end we all die, the sun will eventually expand and destroy the whole planet so nothing any of us does matters really, you're free because in the end there are no consequences. If you really do want to be remembered for what time exists then do something about it, identify a problem and think of the solution. You're paralysing yourself with fear right now, try to move into action.
>>34270977I can't
>>34270982You can't what?
>>34271028I can’t overcome that feeling. My problem is that I can’t stop thinking about it instead of appreciating the world around me and what I can do in the now
>>34271031You need to force yourself into action because otherwise you're going to spend your whole life in misery. You need to force it, you need to be hard on yourself, what you are doing now is not working for you, you have to make a change. Saying you can't, you're not even trying. I know exactly how you feel, I spent years in the same place, I've had to force myself to make changes, nobody will do it for you, you have to make the most of your life.
>>34271041I know. I just need to get past this intrusive thought and make my life mean something
