Coming to terms with your mortality

I remember being a kid and looking around at people thinking why is everyone smiling? Don't they know they are going to die one day? Most people avoid talking about death not wanting to think about it but eventually they have to address it. How do you come to terms with it where you are at peace with it? I keep thinking that eventually I will be ready when old and decaying but what if that acceptance never comes? I'm sure that being agnostic doesn't help my fear.

I try not to think of it. Thanks for starting this thread.

We are all dying so you might as well get on with living

It gets better with age
Don't put stuff off. Many don't make it to retirement. Treat every day like this month might be the last. It alleviates much of the anxiety

I Jack off all the time because I'll only accept dying if I know that I never wasted a hard on.

Dying is a fact of life. You don't have to like it, but you have to accept it. You learn to be more careful as you get older and realize that you are really not bulletproof.

Everybody dies, only a few actually live.

This should answer the question.
If it didn’t - question being agnostic.

And that’s why my drug stash doesn’t last as long as it should

frick. Get out of my head. I’ve been dealing with the same thoughts. I just tell myself this: “You have too much left to accomplish to think about something that you cannot control.” That kind of helps.

The way I look at it, when you’re dead, you won’t know it. Enjoy your time here while you have it and tell the people you love, that you love them. The thought of not existing freaks me out, but I figure it will just be like before you were born.

Don't put stuff off.

Not everybody. People get killed every day and had no idea it was coming

Drove to the top huh? Sweet.

I have night terrors where I wake up screaming weekly. Just as I drift off to sleep my mind thinks I'm dying. I'll punch and kick the air before jumping out of bed fighting it. I think that's how I'm going to go.

The only thing that really helped me cope with it is seeing other people die on the internet. Burning, decapitation, hanging, shooting, smashing, drowning, people falling to their death, crashing air planes, lethal injections, snake bite, suicide, mauling, people being blown up in war, listening and reading to peoples last words. watching people decay over time, reading about other people losing family members. people recording themselves dying to poison. Having my own family members die. Visiting graves of other people that have died.
Seeing all of those people die has helped me be OK with dying and understand that it wont take that long and not to be afraid.

Being absolutely miserable relieves some fear, at least that will go away.
