[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am terrified of being buried. I know this makes zero sense. I do have some claustrophobia and the idea of somehow waking up and realizing I am locked in a box is too unbearable to think about.

I wonder if a therapist could help with this. It’s not just about the claustrophobia. The idea of being cremated also is anxiety producing.

Again, I know it is all completely irrational. But when I think of death it always takes me to the point where I either am truly not gone and wake up and terrifying circumstances or I am truly dead but my “spirit” experiences that terror.

I feel stupid writing this. It’s almost not even the death itself. This started when I had this dream where I felt all floaty and realized with horror I was actually dead. [/quote]
Hi I’m the OP. I used to fear this too, and decomposing . But I’ve figured there’s practically zero chance for any afterlife or consciousness after death so you can’t be claustrophobic when you are dead. There’s no consciousness . There’s nothing. Theres no more you .  [/quote]

Remember the Poe story, "Premature Burial"? I'm getting cremated for sure![/quote]

It’s impossible to be buried alive these days . Also if you are claustrophobic you get cremeated in a coffin, even if it’s cardboard it’s tiny . If there’s a remote chance of a resurrection id need my bones. Anyways we Jews don’t cremate . Also if you get cremated they do an autopsy. No fIng way am I getting an autopsy  [/quote]
