Anxiety Over The Endless Universe?

Yes, this is the hundreth time I ve ranted about my anxiety, and now, I do believe I m at my peak. Out of all the things I ve gotten scared and anxious about, this is the biggest. It s once again about the uncontrollable universe, and it s about what I call "everything". Not just existence, the empty dark void that existed before, and now. Time and numbers doesn t exist in the void, but after constantly thinking it, I actually believe it s a part of time, and not an end In fact, it makes me have terrible thoughts about if the universe is just a little speck that gets smaller as the dark void CONTINUES!! It makes me think BEYOND infinity, and in fact, infinity doesn t even apply! Seriously, I have thought SO FAR, I even think the dark void will turn white.

Basically, if you guys don t understand what I m saying, I ll put it to you shortly. I m trying to comprehend how the dark void can be endless. It makes me feel like I m trapped in this universe, and it s incredibly to hard to get it to get out of my head. This has been going since January, and I almost feel like there is no escape from these thoughts, considering that I can t even tell myself it s not true.

Your problem isn't that you think these thoughts, it's that it makes you anxious to think these thoughts.  There would be no science without such thoughts and no art, either.  Are you in therapy to see if you can learn not to turn your imagination into anxiety?  As for your basic theory here, what dark void?  In reality, there isn't just one universe, but it's hard to be "trapped" in one since each one is so vast.  All science thinks, and doesn't know, is that maybe there was a big bang that created what we have now, but we can't see most of it or analyze it.  Perhaps you're confusing dark matter with a "void."  It's not a void, it's just a different kind of matter.  Maybe you're just confusing what we can see and what we can't.  But science has no idea what came before the big bang or what's coming next, but right now theory suggests the universe is expanding, not contracting.  Anyway, if you read my words, they might sound fun and interesting but in your head they sound scary.  That's your only problem -- not that you like to think but that for some reason your brain is interpreting it as scary.  That's what you need to focus on as a problem, not that you have an exciting imagination.
