Serious How do you think you'll die

[RD81]

I always wonder if other people think about death as much as I do. I have had a lot of health problems and a few near misses most of which were technically self-inflicted agony. Of course, like everyone else, I would like to just go to sleep and slip into the abyss with no fear or pain. But then my mind makes even that sound like not such a great thing because someone is going to find me, and my family is going to have to widdle my life down to a shoebox of sentimental things. I really want to apologize in advance for all the dildos. But I am pretty sure I'll die from cancer or quite possibly end up with dementia due to the prescription drugs I take. I know smoking causes cancer but so does half the stuff they sell as food in Walmart. I kind of wished I had a clue so I could "go missing" and slip off into some place beautiful and remote so my family could hope instead of the exceptionally painful grief of those left behind after someone decides to remove themselves from the census.

This isn't suicidal idealization or a cry for help I have always been this way even as a kid.

So my questions are... How do you think you'll die, Have you almost died (story time, pictures even better this is GG after all,) and how would you prefer to die?

How do I think I'll die? Knowing my luck, I'll live to the ripe old age of 110, growing more cantankerous and vindictive as I sour into dementia - and then get killed by some fucker on a scooter.

How would I prefer to die? Well... there is a dream I have of something called a Zero Point Mass/Energy bomb. Death from that would be epic - for everyone on the planet.

80-90 will do me, pass on peaceful in my sleep dreaming of something nice, no fuss, cremating me and the ash into a flowing river. Or hit by a car, I haven’t made up my mind yet.

 

[iheartbadmemes]

Death by too much pussy
No I'll probably end up shooting myself or jumping off a tall building, I don't want to experience dying

I’ve contemplated death many times. Having an interest in palliative care, I find trying to give the patient the death I would want for myself helps me give them ‘a good death’. However, it’s not a negative or intrusive thought pattern for me.

The best deaths I’ve seen, are people dying at home from old age or a progressive terminal illness, where their family are around them joking and having fun. When the family are positive, the dying patient rarely needs any medications to ease them through death. All of these patients had a serene facial expression, and often a kind of smile at the moment of death. So that always appealed to me.

I went to verify the death of one of these patients a couple of years back during Easter weekend. The family were joking about him being resurrected like Jesus as it was Easter and I was laughing as I performed the examination to verify the death. His wife asked if I could close his eyes, which I explained is almost impossible if they remain open after death. They didn’t close, to which his wife said “well he was a stubborn bugger in life so no change in death”. Then his son put his sun glasses on the patient and crossed his arms to make him look “like a cool dude”. Then we all pissed ourselves laughing. To me, this guy had a very good death, and didn’t need any medications.

@RD81 it sounds like your thoughts are more an OCD pattern of intrusive thoughts. Did you experience a death in the family as a younger person? Maybe your thoughts are happy and calm, but if they bother you consider getting the book Overcoming Obsessive Compulsive Disorder second edition by David Veale and Rob Wilson.

I'm convinced I'll grow old, maybe near or even after 100. I had two great grandparents live past 95 and I have current grandparents that are 87 and 89 with as much energy as people half their age.

Now if I didn't get to grow old and I died some other way, I'm just glad I'm not affiliated with a cartel. Overthinking might get me though like that guy from Scanners.

We should meet up when I'm really old. You could give me "death by blowjob" - just keep sucking till I croak.

You’re a good guy Flatus.

I'd like to be shot at the age of 100 by the jealous husband of my 21 year old mistress.

With my hand around my 7th boner of the day……and not quite there.

 

[Bad Hippo]

Yes, lets go with the biggest boom possible.

While a ZPME device would indeed produce a world ending boom, it's more of a chain-reaction firestorm that sweeps the planet. Everything the atmosphere touches - including all that juicy reaction mass in the oceans - is just fuel for the raging and unstoppable extinction level event for Planet Earth. Less of an atomic boom, and more of a "Set the Global Termperature to Gas Mark 200, and cook until EVERTHING is done".

 

[JG Ballard]

By my own hand if the devil don't get me first. No aspirations to old age. But couldn't tell you when I'm going to push the button. Still some fun to be had for now.

 

[j.f.🔎]

Heart attack.

Probably.

Something so quick I don't even know I'm dead.

 

[RattleHead]

Heart attack here too, ive lived a wild life with alot of substances.
I still drink pretty heavy also.

 

[punkduck]

Suicide when the time is right. Self euthanasia. I am very dangerously skilled for myself to survive. ( I am sure it will be depression induced. )

 

[K.I.T.T.]

I'll fly out over the ocean on a beautiful summer evening near the Florida keys and allow my plane to climb until I eventually pass out and die in my sleep from a lack of oxygen.

I can't think of a more peaceful and considerate way to go. I'd like to time it just right so that I'm chasing sunset and it will be the last thing that I see.

 

[PurrGirl]

I've thought for a long time I will die in a car accident. I've seen little video clips in my mind of it. I still drive despite this, partially because I don't want to give in to the belief in some sort of psychic knowledge, and partially because obviously I gotta die somehow anyway.

It is pretty terrifying, though, when I've had these visions. I don't know whether I die immediately or not. It's a very catastrophic accident, though, lots of blood and completely mangled car parts, so I'd guess so.

 

[Richard 1986]

I'm a looser 51yo loose my job two years ago no kid no wife no friend ALONE I'm dazed in Madness I WANT TO DIE QUICLKY !!!

 

[Donkeyd]

My grandmother died in her chair with the newspaper open on her lap, cup of tea in one hand and a cigarette in the other. THAT'S how I want to go!

Well that's creative

I wonder if there'd be a moment you would feel your internal organ boiling, of course, I prefer not to but what would that feel like?

How do I think I'll die? Knowing my luck, I'll live to the ripe old age of 110, growing more cantankerous and vindictive as I sour into dementia - and then get killed by some fucker on a scooter.

Well at least you wouldn't have to worry about leaving loved ones behind to grieve. I work in Senior care those scooters are fucking hazardous.
