Does anyone else ever think about their life and get freaked out?

Question

Sometimes I sit and think how amazing it is that I am me and that I am alive in this world. It is surreal and I want not think about it anymore but I have been obsessing about my life and how we all are going to end up dieng some day. Can anyone give me some tips as to how to stop this? Let me know if you feel this way too because I feel like I am the only one. Thx have a good day and I hope you all are enjoying life!!!!

Answer 1

When I get down, I like to think of my life from a deterministic point of view, that is, I was, for one reason or another, MEANT to be here.

The odds of a couple conceiving a child are pretty steep if you really think about it. And then of the millions of sperm trying to hit that egg, the ONE that created you makes it. And then your pathetic little embryotic self somehow keeps from dying, and is born, and you survive childhood, and now, you're old enough, and smart enough, to ponder your existence.

Rather than count down your remaining days (be they many or a few, hopefully many), choose instead to fill them, so when your time is up, you have no regrets.

Answer 2

i totally understand what you are saying.  i always wonder what/who i was before i was me and what the world would be like if i was never born, or if other members of my family were never born.   i also wonder whats going to happen to me when i die and wen that is going to be and all kinds of stuff like that!! your not alone.  i don't think there is a real way to fix it.

Answer 3

It's actually normal for people to think about these things.

:]

I think about the same thing, and i actually started feeling a bit better once i accepted that i cant live forever and i started living everyday to the fullest i can at this time.

Just accept that life will end someone; if you can do that, then you may feel better. if not, then do things that you want to do and that make you happy, so that your days feel more fulfilled and joyous. :)

You're not alone, alot of people think this way and feel this way, too.

Answer 4

Of course, its hard to focus after doing this and you get freaked out because you actually see that time is passing at an alarmingly slow or fast rate and that life is going to go fast or slow not in between.

We all have similar trouble. Usually if you keep thinking you get out of it.
