Lately my life has gotten a lot better, I'm a lot happier than I once was and I received good news regarding the security of my future.But the happier I get, the more I fear the fact it'll be over, and I essentially get paralysed into not working towards my long term goals.Everything feels so pointless because it's fleeting and not everlasting.I've spent most of my life not really paying death any mind, but the thought now makes me lose all motivation to keep going.It feels like I'm repelled from doing anything temporary now, like not going on vacation because you'll have to come back home anyway, or not eating tasty food because it'll be gone in the end.In regards to the afterlife, I operate under the assumption that death is imperceptible because your brain won't be alive to experience anything, so there isn't anything to really be afraid of. But despite this I've never really had to deal with such nihilistic thoughts before, what are some good copes that aren't too outlandish ?I think my problem is I'm far too attached to my human condition and my happiness.
>beginning to introspect>asks for "copes" to cling todawg..
>>34383320My favorite copes are NDE Youtube channels, though you have to find the ones that source from NDEs written in the 90s so you aren't getting AI slop.
the twisting of the word "cope" the past two years has been awful"cope" doesn't mean "give up", it actually means the opposite, forcing yourself to forego rationality in order to get something done (like survival for a temporary period, for exampel)
doing a bunch of motherfuckin xannys and jerking off isn't "coping" with anything, it's just being a faggot
>>34383332Pretty much this. I'm now at a stage where rationality doesn't take priority over my own emotions anymore, I just want to get on with life without having some retarded crisis about the fact I won't be here forever
>>34383354sorry for the rantit's good (i think?) to take some time to imagine being on your deathbed, it can help you realize things about your life or help you figure out what to dobut it shouldn't be something tormenting you all the timei wish i had better advice
you mention things like vacations & tasty food feeling hollow now, but what about trying to do something ambitious?a lot of the time, you force yourself to do something, and THEN your mood changes (or your mind focuses more on the present)it may be true that hedonistic things aren't worth your limited time, but this should prompt the question "what IS worth my time?"

>>34383320Dont care, my life goal is dying comfortably. Knowing the exact date is uncomfortable though.
>>34383320Got rid of it.
>>34383320I want to die peacefully in my sleep, when my time comes, but I also want to leave enough money so siblings are secured financially. If someone kills me or is the cause of my early death, ngl I'm going haunt them until it's their time.
