Thinking of death triggers depression so easy

Sometimes psychological distress is something you have to work through. Taking drugs may help, but they don't address the underlying crisis.

I think life is worth living. I have been through hell and back working that out and coming to terms with reality as it is.

These days, I feel pretty invincible psychologically to these sorts of attacks, but it took a lot of time, and a fair bit of pain and frustration to get where I am now.
 


The real question is: do you want a bandaid, i.e. stop this fear from arising?

OR

Do you want a permanent solution: to discover why this fear is an illusion, so that even if arises, it has no effect on you.

Do you want to fall back asleep into your comfortable bed or do you want to wake up?
 
Not taking any drugs here, I'm not a pill taker at all. I'm trying to stay away from any kind of pill. I'm afraid of dying in sleep so some drugs as benzo (is that how it's called?) could cause that so I'm all away.

I'm feeling really stupid in this kind of moments and I want to get back to my SEO and enjoying things I excel at. I just fill my time with questions like this, stupid chioce...

Thanks for your time guys. It's great help coming from a community I joined just some short time ago.

How I understand anti-depressives in the context of how psychiatrists use it is it's basically a way to get the person in a more receptive state to start accumulating positive reference points in order to steer their brain in the right "happier" direction. That's when they phase you out like King. mentioned and thinking about them that way enables you to see them as tools and not as something that should necessarily work on the cause of their depression. But I'm only speculating, never been on any.
 
If you are against drugs, you should consider trying a sensory deprivation float tank. Not sure if there are any centers close by where you live, but check:
Float Centers in USA

Dr Weissman talks about the Sensory Deprivation Tank:

100% safe, get amazing relaxation, face your mind in its pure form without the body. Positive effects for both body and mind. Some athletes even use them.

Many ppl claim that experiences in the tank have changed their lives in a positive way forever. People also report that you might have to go at least a few times to kind of get the feel how to relax and use it to its full capacity.

I have to admit, that I have never floated myself yet, but I will in a near future!

See this fear, although uncomfortable is making you venture into undiscovered areas, outside of the regular "bread and butter"/rank sites/do SEO shit. And nothing wrong with SEO and making money btw. But just imagine how much better you might do in SEO, if you get more peace and quietude in your mind and joy in your heart.
 
As long as the death is painless, why are you afraid of it?

Not saying that you should want it, but you should not be too fearful of it. Wait, do you have any dependents?

Think of death as a calm and peaceful experience. No worldly shit to bother about. True freedom

It may be good to be lifeless..

Not sure you will ever be able to truly conquer your fear of death. But as an atheist this has provided some consolation.

We are not separate from the universe, we are the universe. The universe lives within us, always has and always will, long after your consciousness has died.

If we lived forever, we would worry about what living forever means.

Since we eventually die, we worry about what not living forever means.

Worrying is like a rocking chair, it gives you something to do but gets you nowhere.
 
Every ponders about the meaning of their own life, and the meaning of life in general. This is the oldest question in the history of mankind.

I like Albert Camus' view on it: life is pointless and absurd in so many ways, however it's worth living because there are many things worth experiencing (e.g. love, friendships, good food, women, wine, etc...).

Life is game. Play it.
