I don't know how to do it. I am so terrified of dying that I haven't been able to sleep well for a very long time. Everything I do seems shallow and hollow - so how does everyone just keep on moving forward, keep setting goals, keep making progress?

Hey so this might not be the best place to get to the root of your fears. Have you considered talking to an expert?

[-] D-ISS-O-CIA-TED@kbin.social 4 points 1 year ago

I'm planning to. I just need to structure my thoughts into a legible form so that I can talk about it. Maybe that's what this post is about

That's really great to hear. Good luck, I hope you find some understanding.

In my experience, the “experts” are thoroughly unhelpful. Despite seeing plenty of them over the years, I've been almost entirely on my own in figuring out my issues.

I definitely know what you mean. It's really hard to find a good therapist. Almost impossible for some.
