I know thta this is just another one of the strange phases in my life. a month ago before school started i had an ocd stage where a week i was super anxious i even had 1 panic attack. Well now, because of this phase life is just seeming to get weird and boring. Im losing interest in things. I think all of this is because sometimes when i think about 1 thing i get so scared its not even funny. I could scream reaaaly loud if i could. I think about life in general. and religion. How did everything happen. But mostly...eternity scares the crap out of me. How can life not end. Everything ends sometimes(well most). and then i think maybe it stops...but then how the CRAP could it stop. Thinking about what happens after i die and about life in general scares the CRAP out of me. Help me live a life without the fear. I just need to stop thinking about it. Any suggestions(and answer some of my questions)?

think its normal for a person (i think) to think about such things... i know i do alot... think of life and death... eternity. and yeah it does kinda scare me.... wondering whether i have done the right things to guarentee i will get into heaven... or whether i will burn for eternity in hell.... and cause no one really knows... until ya die and experience it yerself... it is scary.
try writing things down.... helps to get it all outta ya head....
or try talking to someone..... that helps too!

It sounds like you're suffering from anxiety and panic attacks, and that you're depressed. Have you talked to your family doctor about it? These are legitimate medical problems, and medication can help.
A small amount of anxiety is a normal part of life, and everyone feels anxious from time to time. Panic and fear are not normal, and you don't have to suffer like this.
Life is scary sometimes, and life is always uncertain. No one knows what the future holds. I don't worry about the future because I know that God is in control of everything, and He will work everything out. I'm concerned about you thinking about eternity and religion so much. It sounds like an obsession for you, not a source of joy. Thinking about God and eternity should bring you peace because you know when life is over you will be with God.
I think you're feeling overwhelmed about life, and from what you said, I think you have a legitimate medical problem you should see your doctor for. Please take care of yourself. You don't deserve to live in fear.

ahhh...sounds like a fellow philosopher. pondering eternity is terrifying, I have given myself panic attacks about this also. I just started school again and panic has invaded my life completely also.
to help answer your questions, I recommend researching religions and different perspectives of philosophers. And calm down, there's nothing you can do about it anyway. Your thinking is feeding your fear, and this fear keeps giving out more fear. You need to stop the cycle. Read Feeling Good Handbook by david burns...it helps you analyze and control your thoughts. if need be, go see the school counselor/therapist to help you cope.

Life ends...try to ask a dead person and see what you get for an answer. Your looking for an answer to life's greatest mystery. We'll all find out someday ,until then it simply doesn't matter.

maybe you should talk to someone about getting on some meds. they can really help with the obsessing , and the depressing thoughts.
all the best :)

Poor people. They have never been taught about God. It's very apparent. Parents fault. I wish that you knew what I know.

perhaps God is trying to get your attention? He got mine in 2000... when my mom and grandmom died one month apart.
life is pretty scary... it's way bigger than we are that's for sure... join a good church and look for help/answers there...
good free online resources below... grace to you and intouch are good places to check out.
