    From prior conversations I knew that only Rock and Mara had this kind of thing in common with me, which is one reason I have so much affection for them both. They're the only two people who can really relate to what I go through. Waking up in the middle of the night in a full panicked contemplation of the endless eternity of NOTHING to awaits us. We had such an eternity of nothing before we came into existence and that's what's waiting for us to return to in a few short years. It's pure Hell.

     

    Like Mara, I try not to indulge it, I do everything in my power to distract from it, and most of the time that works. Only about 4-5 times a year am I really fully in its power. Then life moves on until the next time.

     

    It's a very weird, very specific thing. I don't think anybody who hasn't endured it can really understand what it feels like or how it's always waiting in the shadows.

    All of this. I often tell myself, "Everyone else dies, too." But even so I still feel like this is such a singular thing and nobody understands. Like, I want to shake people and scream ONE DAY I WILL STOP EXISTING DO YOU KNOW HOW THAT FEELS. And yes, of course they do, because they will die too. But it doesn't matter to me. It's not even a huge fear when it comes to other people. I was very sad my grandmother died, but thinking of her free from pain and in heaven made me feel better. But I cannot think of my own death in the same manner.

     

    I understand, more than you know. I just get in, like you said, a downward spiral and I keep obsessing on it over and over. I have to try to force myself to think about something. Lately, I try to think about the girl in the Robin Thicke video and that usually works for a while. Then I realize that I'll die and never wind up with a chick like that and I'm back to square one.

     

    That's a big thing for me too. Dying all alone, never having had a relationship or anyone love me. Ugh.

  2. I am excited about what comes next... maybe it's nothing, but maybe it's AWESOME! Maybe I get reincarnated. Who knows? The mystery is exciting to me.

     

    I get freaked out when I think about what will happen leading up to death. The pain and suffering etc.

     

    Glad you are going to see a doctor and get some help. Try and remember that everyone gets to die, so you are very much not alone. :)

    You're one of my favorite people on this planet.

     

    I know it's silly and ridiculous to fear the inevitable. I know we all die, but it just terrifies me not knowing what's coming. I wish I were like you, April, in a lot of ways. You're such a strong & grounded person. I like to think I have a good handle on things and I guess that's why the concept death is my Achilles heal because I have no control. I used to be able to shrug it off, but the last 2 days have been really hard to deal with... it seems to snowball and I can't focus on much else. I hate being like this.

     

  3. Do any of you ever obsess about death? Years ago I used to get these massive anxiety attacks when I would think about me dying. Really horrible attacks, I feel overwhelmed and get all freaked out, lots of sweating and find it difficult breath. It kind of went away for awhile and now it's been back for the past 3 days. I'm going to get a psychiatrist tomorrow morning, maybe get some medication.

     

    It's really awful... I dwell on it and it keeps on piling up and piling up. Ugh. I just can't stop thinking about the centuries that have happened on without me here and know that when I die I won't come back and I'm just so scared. And I've had so much health problems that I know I've only got 4-5 years left. I hate it. And Anyone else go through this?

  4. Damn, nice one. I had been thinking about Crowell for awhile, but didn't have room. And for some reason, I was thinking Blue was already taken. Guess it would've helped if I'd bothered to actually check. :shrug:

    I figured that it's better late than never to get into the game. I have a feeling with Brady on his way out the door that Jimmy might wind up getting some value.

  5. See, I have no clue how waiver works. I've never really had a strong understanding of it. Like, I have a better record than you, so shouldn't have you gone first in the round robin? All I did was select three people. Then after that, you go to the "waiver order" and you rank who you want the most.

     

    Anyway, who did you want?

  6. Actually it looks like it did go round-robin. I had Justin Forsett as my number 1 priority, Eddie as 2 and bears 3. It gave me Justin, you Packers then it didn't give you any so I assume you had Justin as 1? Even so, I thought that it would go to your 2nd choice then? Instead it looks like it gave me the two after. Was your priorities Packers, Justin and (royal or bears)?
