Are you afraid of dying?

[Steamm]

Sometimes I feel this way, I don't know exactly if it is fear or a 'letting go' feeling

 

[Tasdevil]

I am little scared of not knowing what happens after death. The actual dying process doesn't scare me I just hope I can overcome the guilt of my choice to CTB. i know it will upset some people when I go but I can't keep living for others which I have been doing. My last act will be for myself. I think everyone feels worried ab CTB.

 

[selfhater]

it's just the afterlife thing

 

[Fredman]

Yes, I'm scared. I will probably have a panic attack as I CTB. I'm afraid of the pain and I worry that I'll fail. On top of that, I'm scared of the big unknown which death is. For all I know, the other side is even worse than this one.

 

[a.n.kirillov]

I had these dreams of being murdered from a very early age and there always came a point in the dream where I surrendered to my fate and I always looked forward to that part; I mean I really really enjoyed this feeling, it was such an insane relief and so pleasurable that I wonder now... maybe this has something to do with how I lived my life. I always knew that attachement to life was a petty thing.

So no to dying or letting go; no to death; but yes to pain and yes to struggling.

 

[LMLN]

Yes and no. But when I'm ready the fear will be gone.

 

[The Warm Industry]

I believe this fear is a natural reaction, since your brain and body will do everything to convince you that dying is a bad thing.

This is also the reason why I like to drink, being drunk makes me lose my fear of doing things and face my ctb as something close.

 

[faust]

Well, it may sound strange, but I am more afraid of living. Assuming what surprises life will bring me again, I don't want to miss the chance to refrain from opening this box of pandora.

 

[littlemisssunshine]

No too tired of living to be fearful of dying.

same!! i'm beyond terrified of living i feel life has unlimited painful surprises to throw it at me my whole life

 

[SamuelMortem]

Not really, I'm surprisingly calm. There are moments where I start to panic and fear death a little, but they fade quickly.

 

[GoodPersonEffed]

Afraid of the dying, not of death.

 

[AcornUnderground]

Yes, I am scared. I suffer through incredible physical pain every minute from an awful disease and I'm having a hard time doing it. I'm scared of the dying process, leaving people behind, what happens after we die, and in general: I loved life so it is hard to leave. My disease was sudden and fierce so not long ago, I was very happy with a wonderful life. So hard, and yes...afraid.

 

[Throwmyselfaway]

I don't remember who said this but I remember it from years ago "I'm not afraid of death I just don't want to be there when it happens."
Me however I've come to just expect it at this point.

 

[Despondent]

Sometimes I am, other times I'm not. The thought's still comforting to know it's accessible. Though, for some reason my SI has started to kick in. It's kicking in when I think about purchasing a rope, so I'm not sure what that's about. I keep pushing off the purchase for days.. and then weeks. It's not like I plan to make my exit right when I get it. I don't know why this is happening.

 

[issyishere]

Not afraid of being dead but I am afraid of the process with our methods. SN seems like a sure bet but I wish i could have a more peaceful method and instant method like N or F.

 

[vonvonwantpeace]

nope

 

[Pryras]

I'm not afraid of what comes after death, but the dying process itself. I don't know what I'll feel right before I stop breathing. After I'm unconscious if I'll still feel myself losing oxygen but not being able to breath or move. I'm not sure entirely, if I'll feel anything at all once I lose consciousness but I can only hope not. :(

 

[TimeToBiteTheDust]

Not anymore. I don't care what comes next. Just finish this once for all

 

[SadHam]

As I flop and flip between states. Gradually loose everything of meaning and love. Although I'm naturally afraid, the relief that beacons me. The thought of peaceful uninterrupted sleep, away from the dark truths of humanity. This is not my vessel and not my planet, not my species. Bad luck, and selfish decisions made by others and myself. Peaceful sleep. No more taxation. Never had representation.

 

[Swoods]

I'm not afraid of dying. More of a resigned feeling.

 

[TheSuicidalEccentric]

Why be afraid of dying when it is inevitable?

 

[AcornUnderground]

Why be afraid of dying when it is inevitable?

Because maybe "now" doesn't seem like the right time. Is it survival instinct or truth or nothing..who knows. For me, in addition to other things, it creates anxiety or fear.

 

[Hopeindeath!]

Absolutely not.

 

[Imustbefree]

My biggest fear is being in the afterlife and being made aware that it wasn't my time yet. From what I've read on spiritual blogs, only a small percentage of suicides are actually "meant" to happen (about 30 percent). But there is free will. That overrides everything. I take all of this with a grain salt, though. I suffer chronic pain, and I've had it for many years. I actually don't even want to get better anymore. I just want to cease to exist. Unfortunately, in my opinion, we never cease to exist. We just live in another form once we pass.

 

[RottenDeer]

I am not sure. I am a bit scared of not existing anymore, wasting my only chance at life but at the same time, I want the pain to end.

 

[revenge88]

yes

 

[can'tdoitanymore]

I didn't used to be. I was initially scared of the pain but that quickly went away after my first attempt. Now I'm back to being scared of the pain because I have to use a different method. I'm not scared of dying though for any other reason. I do know now I don't want to die though if I could change everything that caused these feelings but I can't so don't have a choice.

 

[OddOne]

I am afraid of pain, not death.

 

[Otter]

No, it would be peaceful. I am nervous that the process might be overly painful, however.
Edit* now that I've looked at everyone's replies, I sound like a broken record.
