I can wait to die

I don't want to die, especially not anytime soon.
I'm not afraid of the act of dying, I am a little scared/confused about what happens after death though.
I don't want to lose my conscious, which is what I believe happens.
I don't think anything spectacular happens after death, I think we just lose our consciousness and eventually turn into dirt.
And that's what kind of scares me, but I guess it won't matter though because I'll be dead.
Discuss?

Man I hate the stigma behind death. Every death in this world is viewed as a tragedy and it's kind of ridiculous.
Do you realize that NOT A SINGLE HUMAN BEING ON THIS PLANET has the slightest idea what happens once we die? Not a clue! All we have are beliefs that are equivalent to fairytales!
Think of it like this. What was life like before you were born? Nothingness, right? But it's impossible to experience nothingness since nothingness doesn't exist. So you've never experienced nothingness, you've only experienced life. So when you die, you won't experience nothingness since that's impossible, rather you'll probably get consciousness again. Perhaps consciousness in an animal body! That would be rad! Imagine being a bird!

So basically riddle me this.
This earth has existed for billions of years. Sentient life has existed for quite some time now. Sentience implies FEELING or PERCEIVING. There is something inside a sentient being just like something (YOU) is in you.
How does sentience get distributed? The animals that existed billions of years ago, who are they? Who was "that" thing inside them. Also, why are you perceiving life in your body and not my body.
You, me, your next door neighbor, my mom- we are all one. And we have all been those dinosaurs, those wooly mammoths and so forth. It's all us.
God, drugs have changed me so much!

I understand what you're saying, I have experienced "Ego-Death" before as well.
But I beleive my consiuosness, whatever that may be, dies with me, and if not I am unaware of it, so again it pretty much dies with me.

The only thing I would be scared about is the series of events just before I drop dead. Like I don't want to shit myself in the process or be found on the shitter

I'm not scared of the ac of dying, I find it intriguing.
With that being said I would prefer no to shit myself when I die though.

I think that life/conscience is conserved like mass, momentum and energy. This fits with the "we are all one" feeling that we get from tripping. I think that we zip into life from some conscience soup when we are born. Then, when we die, we go back to the soup. I'm probably wrong though.

Good luck man.
I used to actively want to die back when I was really depressed and using a lot.
I did come close a few times, but the only thing keeping me from going all the way is that I knew it would wreck my family. Even though I'd be dead and not there to see it, the fact I'd knew it would wreck people I love kept me from going through with it.
That being said, that's still the reason I'm here every day.
I can "see" how happiness is possible, but I've never truly known it, and I've never been able to realistically see myself being happy future for as long as I can remember. So, it's felt like I've "floated" my entire life. I think my brain is fucked up.

I believe in a "ghost in the machine" type afterlife: a partial copy of your consciousness can live on through others who knew you, but you yourself probably cease to experience anything. A true afterlife may also exist for all I know, but I would have know way of knowing that for certain.

we all face oblivion.
what's real?
is your body real? your perception?
we are all born, and die, star stuff - and we can't really miss something we never truly possessed. so just appreciate this time passing by, this twinkling in your eye. it's all you have, for 1 second or 10,000 years - it's all the same.

And I will bring you out from the people, and will gather you out of the countries wherein ye are scattered, with a mighty hand, and with a stretched out arm, and with fury poured out.

I've never worried that I was going to die ever, even when I started my 7 year, 10 surgery, chemotherapy, my brain bleeding, or any other close call I have had. Even when I've had to sign paper work giving permission to care for my dead body because at that moment I was given less than a 5% chance of making it. That happened three times, and not once ever was I worried.
Not that death didn't scare me at the time but something internal made me know for a fact that no matter what is happening I'm surviving it. Because of all this I do believe I will know when my time is actually happening and it will be for a reason so great that I suffered through all that shit for seven years, that moment and it will be all worth it and the happiest most blissful moment any human can ever experience and feel.
So tl;dr your a pussy
