Fear of Dying

---

I keep getting this constant fear of dying when i heard anything "Nuclear" and only that word. I just look what would happen and i just start panicking. what can i do

You might take a little comfort form looking at some probabilities. While the probability for any given event may be high, the probability for that event occurring on a given day, or even in a given lifetime, is generally very low.For example, take the Yellowstone super-volcano. The probability that it will erupt in the next 100,000 years is near 100%. The probability that it will erupt tomorrow, or even in your lifetime is near 0%. Therefor it's not worth any worry or stress on a daily basis.Same applies to a nuclear holocaust but with different probabilities. There is, near, nothing that we as individuals can do about these threats anyway.As for death. It comes for all of us eventually. From what I've seen I don't think it's something to fear. The secret is to do the most we can with the now so that when our time comes, in what ever manner it may, we have the least regrets. Life flashes by all to fast to spend all of it worrying about what may be, especially if what may be never comes.

How true!

move to hawaii, learn to surf, rent an apartment on the beach, surf daily and chill. live your life man. just gotta relax and go with the flow. have no worries.

haha once i move out. im goin to USC for 4 years. gettin a job and then headin out to hawaii to just relax, surf, and think about my future.

get those nuclear war thoughts outta your head. we're all gonna die at some point, use your time here, and then die. just make sure that when you're sittin on your death bed you can say with confidence that you did everything u could

I have a fear of dying sometimes, especially when I'm just laying around doing nothing. I try to always be doing something, and if there isn't anything to do, I will listen to music or play a video game just so my mind doesn't just float off.

I used to be afraid of dying when I was lil (around 5 years old) used to cry myself to sleep most night (my grandfather had died around that time) used to stay up late into the night thinking about what is the point in even living if one dies (I was a very in depth and thoughtful person back then). As I got older I found fun things to do and worry about death less now, although I do plan to live beyond the normal human life span :P
