Question

I have just turned 28 and have had a few deaths of friends and family lately and now i seem to be questioning life as a whole. i am starting to really believe that this life is nothing more than a dream and that we are really nothing more than an intellgent animal that just dies and goes to nowhere. I have had enough with religion trying to tell me im going to HELL or HEAVEN now i cant stop thinking about how meaningless this life is.Is something really wrong with me or is this kind of thinking just normal if so how do i stop thinking along these lines because it is really making me a depressed person even my family and friends can tell the change in me recently.HELP ME PLZ!

Answer 1

Well, everyone of us has to die someday, sometime, you may never know when. So, instead of thinking about death, enjoy you're life as early as possible, have a family, have a tour, have a job, have all your dreams come true. You'll see, with all those things to do. You may never realize that you've became older than expected. :)

Answer 2

I am very sorry for the pain you are going through, I hope that you will soon recover.
You have to understand that it is normal to feel this way when you have had a life changing experience as the loss of a friend or family member is.
Different people react differently and I do not think it is proper to blame anyone who has trouble coping with his life experiences.
A lot of thinks can help you move on in your life. Support from family and friends, your work or even an online community of people who have been there.
I would urge you though to check with a mental health proffesional because such events can triger depression, and depression is an illness that can be curred with specific methods, not by a friendly pat in the back. I know that sometimes people will say count your blessings wanting to help someone and that person might end up feeling even more worthless because he can not feel the profound hapiness of life and go further down under.
If you are not sure about going to a doctor, at least take an online mental health test.
I wish you the best of luck.

Hello, I really do feel for you, because there is no way around the issue of death: we will all die. May I say that I used also to go to spiritualists, but they honestly cannot help you, as you have found for yourself their advice does not bring healing or peace. Your doctor can give you pills (I used to take them too) but he or she cannot take the fear away. There is a way to find peace about this, if you are open and willing to accept it. I found all my fears gone and all my questions answered in Jesus. We can know heaven, we can know we are going there, the Bible tells us we can go there when we know Jesus. If you have never done so before, why not call on his name and ask him to be your friend? He loves you already, so it's just a case of reaching out to him. If that seems too scary, then I recommend you visit a lively church and get talking to others, or do an alpha course, which is free and friendly and you can ask any question you like, however strange or hostile! I pray you will find peace soon.

Black widow spider mate in a very dangerouns way. The male will be killed and eaten by female immediatley after mating. Hence the name. But still the males take the adventure of mating. Every life has a purpose. Once born you have to live. Live to estalish that you existed. Death is not in your hand. It can come any time. What happened when Tsunami struck? What happnes when an Earthquake occur? Once born, death is an actual truth in life. Never be afraid of it. Consider it as your alarm to finish your target in Life. Your goals can be good to you and to others. then you will have eternity. Your name will be remembered. That is ultimate in life.

Answer 5

My dear friend, life is really a dream and its also a journey for us to live to the fullest. We are part of the nature, that means we will die one day and go back to the nature, don't you think so.

So take it easy, stop thinking of all the negative things and be positive, live a life that you want and off course be a responsible person to your family and to the society.

I believe cause and effect, so if we do good and we will reap good. So be happy and be grateful you are still here now.

Answer 6

When you can't stop thinking about your own mortality at your age there is some thing wrong. Many people have similar thoughts and seek help from the mental health field professionals. If you don't know where to seek help call the suicide hot line and they will let you express yourself and give you pointers on where you can get help in your area.

I know that one of the best ways to stop focusing on yourself is to go out of your way to do something for other people. Service of others is key to first see how lucky you really are. We were born at the height of technology and ease of living. Part of the struggle that most other people had just to live is gone for us. That means that our brains are free to focus on other activities. Helping out those less fortunate than you will help you see your situation differently.

start by thinking about life, what you have, and what your dreams and expectations are. ask yourself , what would they, {all the people that have died around you} want for me to do. they probably would want you to live your life the fullest. i am sure you cannot forget your loved ones, but you can forget death, because death is only a part of your life. you probably ask yourself "how can i go on" when people around me are dead. well you have a long life to live. live for yourself, and try to fulfill your dreams. that is what your lost ones would want you to do. you are probably depressed because of your losses. this in time may pass, but you could seek grief counseling, that may be helpfull. you sound like a thought full and caring person, i know you will never forget your lost ones, but you also have to think about yourself. life still has many pleasures to offer, don't miss them. good luck to you hope this makes you feel better

Religion is completely wrong to tell you that you're going to heaven or hell. Hell is not bad, it's just the grave. When a person dies, they sleep. That's all. So there's nothing to be afraid of.

However, I do believe in a resurrection in the future...

Answer 9

Just start getting positive. Try to only think about life until it goes away very simple hang out with positive people do only positive things and look at the humor in life im sorry about your loss.
Just do all of the things those people wanted in you.

Answer 10

Get a Grip.

Life is not necessarily a "Dream", but there is no scientific evidence that anything happens to the human spirit after it dies. That is why most religions are based on faith. The believers of that religion have "faith" that it is true, they don't have "proof".

But look at the bright side, you can still have fun, enjoy your life, and make a difference.
