So /jp/, I live at home with parents, am 23, and for the past few months, have become preoccupied with death and the speed of time.
I've already burned through, if I'm incredibly lucky, over a fourth of my life. And my days are dwindling, each uneventful day and even eventful ones passing quicker and quicker.
I've removed all the batteries from clocks in the house that have them, I've blocked my window from sunlight, and changed all the clocks that can't be stopped like the PC to random times so I never know what time it is or how fast it's gone. I stay awake as long as possible to take advantage of what days I have left.
I'm losing it. I'm scared of dying. I don't want to die. What do I do?

Depends if you're religious or not, really.

I got over my fear of death when I was 12 and my tailbone shattered. I stopped believing in a god, for if a god existed he would not put my innocent body in that much pain.

I realize I will not have to think after I am dead, therefore I am non-existent. I should enjoy my life as I want, fapping to little girls in frilly dresses and just accept death as it comes in my already-shortened lifespan.

On the other hand, it could be that I'm the poorest person in /jp/. ;_;

Realize you will never die Anon.

You see from your perspective, one day, maybe even today, I'm going to have an aneurysm or get hit by a train, my metabolic and brain functions will cease, and my body will decay.

From my perspective... The aneurysm never happens. I don't stumble off the platform. I decide not to cut through the dark alley on my way home. I sober up and get in shape. The chemo works. Time after time, decade upon decade, no matter how unlikely, I sidestep death at its every approach.

The universe, for me MY universe, is defined by the fact that it is perceived, and it will make every effort to continue being perceived.

You will all experience the same thing: you make the right decisions, you get the lucky breaks, though it mightn't seem that way at the time, and no matter what, you live on.

From your perspective, you're going to witness the death of everyone and everything you love or will love. The collapse of humanity. Life itself dwindling to nothingness until all that remains is you.

/jp/, you are in hell.

Take a trip by yourself, or with a close friend - Better yet, any member of the opposite sex in your age range whom you may be attracted to if this kind of this is possible for you. But I'll assume its not, since it usually isn't.

You just have to stop thinking about it. Occupy yourself. Clean the house, do daily chores or something... Go out and find friends, or at least a part time job. Get a hobby, like maybe, hiking, swimming, bicycling... Shooting guns, driving fast cars. Something that you can enjoy, other than sitting on the computer.

Then meditate and tell yourself that death is inevitable. It's inevitable for everyone. There are people in all sorts of places where they see family members dropping like flies simply because of the lack of basics, or overworking, or other things like that. And they've accepted this.

They've accepted that death spares no one, not even the ones who beg and plead for it their lives to not end. Life goes on, and if you don't accept this, even if you've done all the things in the world that you want, you WILL die with regrets. If you're worried about time passing... not sure what to say. Time passes differently for everyone. Maybe do boring things? They say time flies when you have so fun, so maybe the opposite is true.

You need to stop assuming that you're "running out of time". That isn't happening. You're only 23. Relax.

Also, I said "psychologist", not "psychiatrist". There is a difference. You need THERAPY, not drugs.

If you don't want to do either of these things, why not try a little thought experiment?

Realize that you will never, ever be able to recall the moment of your death. As far as your memory, and thus your conscious experience is concerned, you will never die.

OP, you are immortal. There's no need to be afraid of death, because it's something that will never happen to you.

Antianxiety medicine sounds more appropriate. He doesn't sound depressed to me, just very scared and, well, anxious. I;m not a doctor so my suggestion may not be better or worse than yours, but I digress. And even then, medication shouldn't be used as a crutch. You have to learn to cope with the problems yourself sometimes.

OP, I really wish I could help you further. Fear of death is common, very common, and the thought of suddenly not existing is indeed a rather disturbing thing to ponder on.

That's not to say you should off yourself; no one likes a quitter and it'd just be a waste. But, if you should happen to eat it at some point, it's not a big deal brosef. Just do your best at all times and be satisfied with what you end up with.

Like half of it is caused by p53 fucking up.

The other half is caused by ras fucking up.

Basically think p53 as a lazy student council president who has a lot of responsibilities but always does her job half-assed, and ras as an overeager but clumsy girl who tries to help but wrecks things more often than not and you have the right idea.

A 5 data point curve has a huge error margin, and if you have a problem with the choices, just pick 20 of the most important developments starting with the formation of life. You'll have a very hard time setting them up in a way that does not produce an exponential curve of some sort.

>> No.5323508

>>5323346
Fine, use technology only, since you're obviously judging despite not doing any research. What counts as a development is subjective but unimportant. The point is the only way not to produce an exponential curve is to deliberately and obviously choose what counts to avoid that curve. However you analyse it there will be an exponential curve.

27 here, i don't care, just take it easy.

when you die you won't even think about that anymore since you'll just disappear, and then all your worries will be over, since you won't be conscious anymore.

you think all the crap like religions, gods, obligations, friends, jobs, waifus, money, family etc are important now, but once you die all of that won't matter anymore. you'll be free of all of those stupid man-made things designed to make you more miserable.
