Random moments of existential dread coupled with sadness (lemmygrad.ml)

I cannot get over my fear the non-existence after death. Every time I think about it all my feelings start bubbling up and I get depressed. It's terrifying thinking about non-existence, it fills me with so much dread

The only thing I’ve found that numbs this feeling is one that also numbs everything else - depression.

But then that leads to other issues, especially, you know, suicidal thoughts. So, it’s not a solution.

Best to just focus on your loved ones. I don’t even follow this advice myself tho lol.

For me, reading nihilist/pessimist philosophy gives me a lot of "only way out is through" relief.
