i think im so afraid because of my beliefs...im atheist i guess. i dont beleive in god (in the same way i dont beleive in the tooth fairy or the easter bunny). i believe that when you die it all ends. no lights, no fire, no peter, no wings, no reincarnation, no limbo, no whatever. just black.

ive bleieved this since i was a child. the only part of you that ithink moves on is your electrical and magnetic energy (duh). but yet, im so afraid to die. i dont want my life to end, i wanna stay with my wife and lovemy kid and grow my crop and keep doing good in the world....but then i reemember the black. thats what i live with day to day.

so i guess my question is: how do i make myslf not fear death?

i tried to watch those nasty videos of people dying, cuz thats what psychiatrists tell you to do when you have a fer of death or blood, but all that did was make me realize that life is so damn short. and it ends so damn fast.
From my experiences of what you talk of (lasted several years for me) too much smoking and naval gazing doesnt help. I am also a Virgo and Virgoans are predisposed to suffer from hypercondria which when stoned can become a morbid fear of death, it can affect your life to the point that you wont want to drive your car because it so dangerous etc etc. Give up smoke for a while, iI did for 2 years or so and after smoking again for 8 months now dont suffer with it any more. Knowing that I was suffering from panic attacks helped also as before I thought I was dying every day also...complete mind fuck!
