Do you think about death?
551846
I thought about this a lot when I was your age, and for a few years after.  It's normal to think about this, since you're in a transitional period in your life.  You're finishing basic schooling and getting ready to go out into the world for either further schooling or into the job world.  Basically, you're going out on your own either way, and it's scary.  You start thinking about getting older, and what the future may hold for you.  The uncertainty is what leads you into thinking about the finality of your life, and the inevitablity of your "impending doom".  These thoughts will pass as you set your goals, start working toward them, and start accomplishing things.  The secret is: don't let yourself sit around and think about it too much!  Keep busy, and keep your mind occupied with other things.

Yes, frequently.  I'd say it's something I think about a little every day, and I have to say, it amazes me.  In fact, i've thought about it so much, since such an early age, i've stopped being afraid of any spirit world or death - i'm excited for the afterlife (though not forgoing the life I live on earth right now) and to find out what really happens.  I'm curious.  I think it's part of human nature to wonder what happens after death - it's the one thing we've yet to conquor, and I for one can't wait to find the answers.

Should we be worried about you doing something to yourself, or do you have a health condition that might cause your death?\n\nIf you're considering suicide, PLEASE speak to someone.

Wow...i contemplate this question ALL the time.  I'm scared to think that after we die...that is the end.  So I guess for sanity's sake I try to convince myself there is more.  I don't know...this question always gets to me.

Although, dying is a natural part of life and we all think about it occasionally, if you're obsessively thinking about it, you may need to see a professional. Seeing someone doesn't make you unstable, it can only help you remain stable.  My concern is that your thoughts are persistent but also are intense and graphic at times, and you may need a medication to help with your thinking. If you've had a past history of depression, than this type of thinking is not uncommon. It wouldn't hurt to see a psychiatrist before your thoughts get out of control.    -a psych nurse

I don,t know the exact answer but I think fear from the things that may or may not occur could be reasonable ,while in case of death , it is inevitable, so why should I be afraid from death.I think every one has suffered this fear at time or another ,otherwise it is abnormal,but the respone should be  ignorance of  this thought & instead be preoccupied with life

We start dying as soon as we are born. I think death is a part of life and one has to accept it. I had a close call with death thrice in my life but still never have nightmares about it. I am not scared of death nor do I invite it. All I know is that I will accept it peacefully when it comes. If I do expect something in my life related to death it will just be a peaceful and painless death. Something like dying in a moment without suffering with the pain for long.

Everlasting life? Isn't that what we are promised by God? It's sort of the same as asking "Do you or Would you believe" \nI believe I would. There are certain people who absolutely LOVE life. Everything about it, even the pain and suffering that comes with it. There is beauty in everything. I am one of those people. I LOVE to learn. I learn everything I can all the time. I will always learn and grow and never tire of life or what it has to offer. I would welcome the opportunity to live forever. \nDeath is part of the plan, a process in the journey of our souls. Just like birth, adolescence or graying hair. It may be the end, or the beginning depending on how you see it. But it is inevitable either way.

you should stop thinking about death and start enjoying watever time you have left of life. thats why they say "live your life as if it was ur last day".\n\nAnd no i dont worry about it, its a natural thing everyone has to go through.

I am sorry to hear of the loss of your son.\n\n"Thoughts of death", is something distinct from "suicidal ideation."\n\nThoughts of death does not have to mean that you will go ahead and plan a suicide.\n\nTo use an analogy, thoughts of taking a cruise holiday and daydreaming about it is not the same as deciding to save up for the ticket, going to apply for a passport, buying cloths and packing your bag.\n\nIn your case, while it is true that one can lead to the other, it does not have to be that way.\n\nI would seek out support from those you feel comfortable talking to about this...family or friends, and then I would compliment that support by seeking out a trained counselor, therapist, or even your local GP...all of whom can assist you in understanding these thoughts, and not being fearful that they mean something that they dont, or that they mean you are not in control of your life.\n\nGood Luck\n\nJimmy

Yes it is possible to be so obsessed with dying that you would forget how to live.  It is also true that when we learn of our own mortality that we learn how to live.  We all go through a period when we are invincable and will live forever.  Then as we go through life we learn to accept our own mortality and I believe that then we learn the truest form of what it means to live.

To an extent. When death is imminent or appears imminent, even the staunchiest athiest among us may for a second wonder about his fate and what will become of him or her. That's where the God aspect comes in. I would think it would be kinda hard to, say, lie alone dying somewhere and not ponder anything in those last moments except your fading breathing and slowing heartbeat. I mean, if you don't believe in a higher power, what do you do when you lie there dying if there is no one around? Lie there and think, "gee, I wonder if I left the oven on?" Of course, I haven't been in that position so I nor anyone else typing here would know.

No. So when you die, ensure you do it in a manner which is most likely to amuse onlookers. Otherwise your death will have been in vain.

What helps is if u think about what good things that happenened to them when they died.  Like if they were sick or had a stroke or somthin' they should die other than suffer.  What also helps is if u relive the good moments that u had with that person or people.
