I'm not afraid of not living. I'm not keen on the idea of a lingering death. I use elements of Buddhism and other outlooks to help me make it through the day.
That's basically just like how I used to feel, not long ago either, but sadly that injury and following illness turned it all on it's head. Now I'd give anything to get back to that state but it's going to take a long time I think, sadly. As it stands I can barely remember my life from just about three months ago, just before my injury. Now it feels like I have to redefine everything and reunderstand everything from scratch, and it's really hard and sometimes terrifying, and I wouldn't wish this state on anyone.
What I garner from those questions I asked of both you and myself is that living in the moment is more important than worrying about a future I cannot control.
