Help! Am I depressed? What will happen after death?

Question

I am in my early teens and I can't help but think of the fact that I'm going to die someday, maybe not is the near future but someday. And it freaks me out to think that I will not exist. It also freaks me out to think of what death feels like... Is there an after life? Do I get reincarnated? Do I feel nothing for the rest of eternity? It also feels like every second of the day leads me closer to my death..

I need answers, but no one knows for sure. The thought of death is constantly at the back of my mind, every person i see I think 'he's going to die someday....' and remember 'I'm going to die someday'

I can't enjoy anything and I desperately need hugs. I keep reminding myself that I have a whole life ahead of me but it doesn't work... Sometimes I cry because I know this, I don't know what else to do...

Please help, and I really need some explanations or guidelines of what's going to happen for the rest of my life...

Answer 1

i use to be like this, but now i realize that as i get older, i understand more that no one lives forever, and everyone will pass away some point in there life. it's just thoughts that come and go. i also use to be scared of every little thing, thinking that i would die. and i also thought that way about my family. honestly, i still have these thoughts, yes, same as yours, is there really a heaven/h**l? are we just going to lay there in a grave yard for the next billion years, dead? i go to therapy and it really helps. my therapist also say's it's something that almost everyone goes through. don't worry! : ) i hope i helped

I felt the same way when I was in high school 10 years ago. Luckily my school offered a Death & Dying course. It helped me accept what was going to happen. It also looked at all aspects of death... Including burial, afterlife, ghosts, cremation, heaven, h**l, grieving, etc.... We even held mock wakes for each person in our class and had guest speakers such as undertakers and psychologists. Maybe something like that would help you out. See if there is something offered at a local university or another school. You need a forum where you can talk to other people who feel the same way you do. I wish you luck.

Don't spend your whole life worrying about death. Doing that will cause a lot of stress upon you,you do not need that. When a person dies,they see,hear and feel nothing. From dust you came,to dust you will return. If you are really concerned,talk to a jehovah's witness or if you prefer not to,go to www.watchtower.org and you will find a brochure on what happens at death.One day we will be ressurected,but until then,death is like a deep sleep.

Answer 5

Hey ! I'm really sorry you fell this way . Just think, everyone will die, no one knows for sure what will happen after death . You should talk to someone, a friend, bf/gf, a trusted adult, a trusted teacher . Think of all the things you'd miss in your teenage years . The great parties, your first kiss, SAT's, going to a bar or club for the first time . And etc . Everyone's gonna die eventually . Not just you . We're all scared about death . Hopee this helped :-)

Death is no mystery to God. He is all-knowing. He has told us what happens after we die through the Bible. Ecclesiastes 9:5 says "For the living are conscious that they will die; but as for the dead, they are conscious of nothing at all, neither do they anymore have wages, because the remembrance of them has been forgotten." When we die we cease to exist. Psalm 146:4 states that when someone dies "his thoughts do perish". There is no separate part of us that comes out of us when we die. Our life is like the flame of a candle. When put out the flame does not go anywhere, it's simply gone.

***Though we may die, God promises faithful ones a hope of resurrection and he promises a time when "death will be no more" (Revelation 21:4)!*** (see sources)
