Do you ever walk around having feelings of impending doom

[Master]

No. Love life and never want it to end.

Master that is precisely why we always think about this stuff. No creature wants to die. It is wired into every creature to try to stay alive until the very very end. But because we all know it subconsciously most people are afraid to bring it to the conscious surface because they think it would make them feel depressed. However sometimes you have to look at it like Batman just said and constantly picture that anything can happen at any moment.

I think having kids helps. It forces you to remember to see things thru their eyes and they live in the moment. Every second wasted looking back or forward just detracts from that.

There is no question that that is correct. It would definitely distract you from focusing either deliberately or automatically on time passing and the gossamer and flimsy nature of our very breath and existence from moment to moment. However even if that did help which I just said it would I also feel that is a form of denial in a way although it is not deliberate by focusing on anything else it's simply diss tracks from that ever-present and maddening truth. So whether the kids distract you or you have a hobby that distracts you or you have some type of endeavor or Focus that distracts you it is still a form of not looking at it which is not necessarily bad but I am just saying it doesn't matter what we do because we are all headed there at any moment.

Remember this is not a dress rehearsal.

Make the most of it and cherish every moment.

Master we are all being judged by a greater being. You already failed just from being a massive prick as a moderator

Sensitive people will always have that anxiety about them and I disagree with the having children solution. If anything it would make the feelings of impending doom even worse as an intelligent person can see quite clearly that society is going the wrong way and it will only ever be more difficult for the next generation unless you are rich. That would make it even more stressful, then there is the cost and time of having to raise a child.

My solutions are more simple and direct. All you can do really is work on the mind and body. Make sure you are getting the nutrition you need. Are you getting enough magnesium in your diet? That is natures body relaxer and stress reducer. Did you start going to the gym yet? That will get your body flowing and release natural feel good chemicals. Make sure you are not eating any harmful foods. Starting with those two areas is a good start. I feel better when I exercise and eat better, I turn to shit when I don't.

Miles are you asking an ex forces guy like Walrus whether he has thought about going to the gym? We don't all stand behind a desk you know. Nobody is saying kids are a solution for anxiety or depression, just reflecting on the facts of our lives. Masters kids are still young and I now have 3 grandkids 5 and under running around a couple times a week. Believe me you do not have much time to spend thinking about your own demise when you have them around.
