| Jun 21, 2018 at 15:43 | comment | added | user13375 | @Sona You are describing solipsism and existential dread. This feeling of solipsism can be described as falling to the extreme of eternalism. The counterpart dread is that this "I" that is the only one that truly exists can be annihilated by nirvana. Luckily, both views are completely wrong. That is why the Buddha taught the truth: The Middle Way free from extremes. | |
| Jun 21, 2018 at 12:12 | comment | added | Sona | I have suffered from the same problem since years. But it happened suddenly, without any reason i started to feel scared by my own self, similar to the way you have mentioned and it was terrifying. I was in search of any such medical condition which can justify this extreme fear of my own existence, as if I am only the one in Universe and will always exist. I am still finding my answers, but with meditation i have gained control over my thoughts so the fear has reduced. | |
