Bio

hello! i am summer, i am 17 and i tend to worry alot even though i am safe in the present. if i reach out for a chat it is probably for one of these reasons:


- dissociation

- death anxiety

- existential fear

- fear of the future

- threats i cannot control (climate change, war, etc.)

...See more hello!! before i start, id really like the advice/help from an adult or elder. i am 17 right now and i would really like to hear the perspective of someone older than me 😊 i recently figured out i have death anxiety and existential fear,, so this means i fear what comes after death and i question reality alot. also recently, i realized that i am worrying about my own mortality and i am having a hard time accepting the nature of life as it is and the fact that we all die,, also the uncertainty of the future (things like climate change, war, how i die, health related issues, mass extinction, and things that can result to death scare the *** out of me basically) how do i start accepting mortality? how do i stop fearing the afterlife?? how do i start accepting uncertainty?? i think all of my anxiety and fear stem from everything being unknown : (

...See more hello!! im a 16 and ever since i became consious (which id say is around 3rd grade) , ive always had a fear of the end of the world, anything that can cause it, and my own death. i used to cry to my parents about my mortality as a kid, and a few years back i was in a dissociative/derealization episode for a few months because of my anxiety. as i grow older, its been becoming a bigger problem in my life and it stops me from living and being productive. its harder to cope especially because i am alone most of the time. recently ive been finding it hard to stay grounded and feel genuinely alive. its been 2 weeks and im scared im gonna have another months long episode. what should i do?
