yeah, i also came close to having a panic attack a few times when i thought about death, that's mostly before i got to sleep and i get to thinking....because during the day you're living and you think you're immortal....then when everything goes quiet and you get a chance to really think about it you realize that death is inevitable....inevitable....and i don't know what scares me more....that there could be something after death or that that's it....the first option fucks with my mind because i can't comprehend eternity....the second becuase i can't comprehend nothigness....how long is forever? it never ends?....NEVER??? what's NEVER??? and what's nothing? how can i just stop existing?

i also have a slightly irrational fear of the deep sea....like when i go swimming during the summer and i get like half a mile away from the coast...and there's just this dark mass underneath me....and i don't know what's there....but it's so deep....*shudders*

mmm...death is an anti-climax isn't it?
I guess the trick is to avoid being there when it happens. *strokes chin*

However, true to my nature, I pondered for years afterward why I reacted in such a bad way, and I figured it out. It was because I couldn't see land. I can go fishing out in the bay, no problem. As long as I can see land, I'm ok.

The thing is, if the boat sinks in the bay, I am going to drown, but at least I know I'm swimming the right way, toward shore. But, out in the ocean, if the boat sinks, I am still going to drown, but I might actually be swimming away from shore. That thought terrifies me.

I have that fear, plus that there are creaters in the water that man doesn't know about.. I'm sure about it.. that at any time anything can happen if a person in the water... I was swimming in a bay when i was a kid, and i was sure i see a shark or something.. it scared me ****less.. but it doesn't matter i could be in a swimming in a pond, lake, bay, and i would be scared about being alone in the water.. someone always has to go deeper then me.. just in case anything happens it will happen to them first and give me time to get the **** out of there.. haha selfish but thats how i think when i'm in water.

I really can't eat in front of people or watch them eat. I can't sit in the same room as people when they eat. And I can't go into a kitchen if meat is being cooked. It is a real phobia haha.

Not even in front of your family, friends?

Just pretend the meat isn't meat, and that it's just part of a dead cow

Nope, not even in front of family and friends.

The 'dead' part makes me sick! I love animals, so I'm veggie.
