? I feel like it’s not that easy to just live.... I literally feel myself in the dying panic mode of what it will feel like to die and I’m in a panic

If it helps, I’m not feeling great today either due to this existential crap. I had a weird dream in which I had a month to live, and at the end it all just went black. Then I woke up. I fear I have been reborn or something! But I’m trying my hardest to not figure it out and just let it be. We can imagine how it’d feel to die OR we can simply wait until our time is here and then experience it. In the meantime, we can try our best to live life according to our values and do the things we live and enjoy!

Yes!!! Last night I just had the worst panic attack because I just felt like “what if I don’t want to live anymore” and like “what if death is better than being alive” and I just felt horrible and like I was actually thinking ... “Is this what I want” ??

It’s okay! Just remember, some things don’t NEED to be known. I suffered for a while with existential related thoughts but at the end of it, I reached the conclusion that it doesn’t really matter. Whether my existence is real or not, it doesn’t have to stop me from doing the things I love. Why should I waste my entire life asking unanswerable questions when I could just simply live? Just accept the uncertainty

Just feeling tired
So over all of this. Why do periods have to make everything so much worse. I keep thinking that I can get over an intrusive thought and then the next one comes in. My brain tries to make be obsess over something that i've already obsessed about and moved on from. Wish this could be over.

I constantly "should" on myself
I've been doing this thing where I think about what I should be doing all the time, as though anything I do is incorrect. "I should be tensing me body/I should be relaxing my body" "I should think this way about myself/I shouldn't think this way about myself" "I should talk to them/ I shouldn't talk to them" "I should be smiling/I should be frowning" "I should listen to this song" "I should be relaxing" "I should be doing work".... the list just goes on an on, back and fourth. I fixate and go back and fourth at what I should do to the point it feels excessive, obsessive. I can't relax and I have a really hard time just being okay with how I am in the present. Does anyone else experience this or have some advice? Thank you for reading.
