In last days I'm somehow thinking if something happens after? If not then what's the point in doing all this?

How are we created, how can I live again...

depressing stuff like that

Does one have any advices on moving on on things like these? I've never been in such a *critical* and deep thinking about these things. Gets me depressed and I have so much work to do.

Punch me in the nuts with a hammer WF.
 


most people get this existential crisis out of the way by the time they hit 14 but better late than never i guess

Na, cut the guy a break on this one. Everyone confronts their own mortality at some point. Worrying about it is pointless, but it's interesting to think about.

But yeah it's no use thinking about it generally speaking.

Alright.

OP: find something you really enjoy, whatever that may be. Video games, riding a bike, getting laid, whatever. Do that thing and focus on how good it feels to be alive. Not on something that will eventually happen to all of us.

If you go through life worrying about death, you're not living.
 
less than a week ago you started a thread called http://www.wickedfire.com/shooting-shit/173340-dead-sleep-scares-shit-out-me.html, now this?

You must die before you die to realize you cannot die. You are beyond time, you have been forever and before beginning of time.

Embrace your fear fully, allow it to be. Watch it completely. Try even for a second not to be afraid of this fear. Of course it is scary, but why add another layer of fear.

Fear is not a problem, fear of fear is the trouble.

Try to see it with no bias, with no judgement. Don't run away. Be completely present.

See what happens!

This fear is just a thought! Thought has no power, You give it power, by believing it!

Believe nothing, drop all of your assumptions. You know nothing about what happens after death. For a minute, try to be in that knowing nothing at all.

Report back if this is any help.
 
I would consider you do bloodwork to check your hormone levels. I suspect your testosterone level is low. Anything below 600 ng/dL is low. When you have low testosterone, you will be depressed (which will create suicidal thoughts).
 
take it from me I've died before and it is pretty cool.

the day I died I entered a world where I could rank for any keyword I chose.

all of my paid campaigns my CTR Shot up to 100 percent.

There's nothing to worry about you live in a parallel universe right next to the people you love. The hardest part is seeing them pass on, but that's okay because you will be with them again soon.

You're quite the philosaphizer. I like you're thinking here.
 
I went through this shit from late 2011 to end of 2012. I developed severe anxiety over my own mortality, and thought I had every disease under the sun (classic hypochondriac). I lost a shit ton of weight from not being able to eat from constant anxiety / fear of dying (I hit 130lbs). So I went abroad, got some sun and 3+ months of just chilling. I was a little bit better but still a nervous wreck. Saw a psychologist, got prescribed citalopram (which is an antidepressant but also used for anxiety disorders). They told me take it for a year and then you can phase it out. I've been on it for 6 months and I can say I'm almost back to the way I was maybe 5 years ago, stress free, relatively happy, just getting on with work and living and enjoying the things I always did before (in fact I'd say I'm more outgoing, carefree now).

Whatever you do don't self medicate, go see a professional, and just be patient because things will be back to normal with the right help. Don't take life too seriously, just relax and enjoy it.

Edit: Also OP you're the type of person that shouldn't touch hard drugs or hallucinogenics. Most people seem to be fine but if you have hidden or underlying mental problems like anxiety it will worsen it (in my experience).
 
Sometimes psychological distress is something you have to work through. Taking drugs may help, but they don't address the underlying crisis.
