I have random attacks of existential dread where I fear the unknown of what happens after death, I’m 14. How do I make them stop?

Idk if ur religious or not but I choose to believe everything and nothing like idk if there’s an afterlife- BUT it would be really cool if it were and everyone I could meet- or reincarnation- idk BUT it would be great to be a dog I think- this method helped me just being positive and pretending to be aloof (long enough eventually feel better and don’t have thoughts as often )

lots of weed did it for me (don’t do this until you’re 21 at least, using pot at 14 will really f you up) now i look at death as the energy that makes up the matter in my body being absorbed back into the rest of the universe and so i find peace in knowing my time in this consciousness is limited but everything that makes up my being will still continue to exist in another form hope that helps or at least doesn’t increase your dread :)

Try medications! I take Zoloft and it helps keep those at bay. I also get prescribed Valium for panic attacks which could work for that too

Weed is legal where I am, so I’ll take this into consideration seven years later

also something to consider that you can do at your age if you haven’t already is to look into therapy, i think especially emdr or cognitive therapy might have some positive benefits regarding your outlook
