God made you. God knows you better than you know yourself. Talk to Jesus. He is very real and cares for you. He is an eternally loving God who cherishes you. We were no made for this world, that is why we constantly crave sin and to numb our senses, because our flesh is corrupted. Talk to God. Just talk to Him and He will speak to you. Seek Him and He will draw near to you. His name is the God of comfort.

@blehh You don't have to feel hopeless. And the evidence for God is open to anyone seeking a God, He made you and it seems like He's talking to your heart a bit?

@blehh God's will is that you be saved (John3:16-17) and eternally His, He is a all-knowing and all-gracious God. He can forgive anything and give you a new, peaceful, true life. One secure for eternity in the Heaven's, where you never have to be alone or scared. You don't have to release your intellect to believe the Bible, you just have to release your pride.

One thing I would say is that, as a Christian I strongly believe that eternity and forever are stamped on all human hearts. That is because God created us in His image, and He is eternal - so it makes sense that we naturally ponder what happens after we leave this earth. Also, Christianity believes that God has an incredibly mysterious and intimate relationship. The Father, The Son and The Holy Spirit all interact with each other and relate to each other. (This is actually how God can be love. Because God has always been and always will be. And if God is love - as the Bible states - then there must have been an object of His love - which is His Son Jesus.) This brings me back to what you said about loved ones - you long to know where they will be, how you will relate to them, etc. This is exactly how the God of the Bible wired us - to love and be loved. As a Christian - Christ puts me at ease when I ponder all these issues. B/c He is eternal, and promises that we will be with Him for eternity. And He is love, so everything I will ever need is in a loving relationship with the one God who can love me perfectly and forever. I know that got a little deep, but I hope it helps. If you haven't read "The Case for Faith" by Lee Strobel, I highly recommend it. It answers a lot of the hard issues we think about as we ponder these very important issues. I hope this is helpful!

The Power of Now is a helpful book to read around these types of existential questions. It’s ok to think like you are. Just not to the point where it is intrusive and obsessive. May be mania? Read some of that book and it will put you at ease.

@blehh I used to smoke w**d back in the 90s and it literally drove me crazy. Racing thoughts, deep philosophical and at times super interesting thoughts but not helpful and basically intrusive. I was hypo- manic for years and then I quit smoking and the OCD kicked in. It was horrible for me. I got on medication and in therapy but it took a long time before I was able to have an enjoyable and sane life. Racing thoughts and this belief that everything happening in the universe was happening right now drove me mad. I was homeless for a bit too living on the street and totally crazy. But after a lot of effort and time and medication I am a very successful father and husband. But when I read your post that’s what came to me. Those racing thoughts about philosophical and spiritual concepts that didn’t help me in my day to day living. It was out of control.
