I feel doomed.

Post Reply New Topic

Yeah maybe, though sometimes I am known to take the wrong steps.....but that's life I guess.

everything is doomed. it is only a matter of how long things can survive.
no life lives forever, and 25 years is indistinguishable from 25,000 years in the full scope of time.

any time span is but an instant in a cosmic time reference.
you and me are doomed to die and the sun is doomed to die, and so the earth is doomed to die.
the whole universe is doomed because it is eternally rarifying. in an octillion years (give or take a few years), all matter will have radiated itself to naught.

there will be nothing but infinitely diluted finite energy then, and x/infinity equals 0

but,... it has happened this way before as well.
before you were born, there were an "infinite" years before you existed.

you experienced none of that time before you were born, so you will experience none of it after you die, and so i can only conclude that you will always live, because you can not experience non existence.

i can not work it out further because i am primitive in my mind.

Well I am aware of all this......lol just was not sure how else to describe how i felt, but yes technically everyone and everything is doomed.

Maybe it helps a little if you can think of life like this...

As long as you don't plan on offing yourself tomorrow, you might as well wait and see what's around the corner. You can see the future as frightening or just see it as something interesting.

At least I've made up my mind that I don't want to bring another human being into the world. I don't want that responsibility because the state of the world scares me. As long as I'm only responsible for myself I can at least have some peace of mind.

If you have specific worries or just want to vent there's people here who can try to give pointers or just listen/read. Thinking of everything at once, all your struggles and fears and all the things that are intolerably wrong with the world in general isn't going to help you make better decisions. All that does for me is paralyze me with negative emotions to the point where I can't think straight or do anything productive, much less find any joy in life.

But OTOH I realize with my depression that that vague feeling of being hopelessly overwhelmed by life - where it feels like waves are crashing in from every direction ready to plow me under - just kind of bubbles up from somewhere deep inside. At that point it's better to just recognize the feeling and not try to fight it by trying to solve my worries. Sometimes there's nothing I can do but wait it out.

Now I'm probably rambling too long... sorry... I don't have specific advice at this point but I'll be here to lend an ear. I hope you can figure something out.
