Has anyone ever felt like you are "stuck" in reality for all eternity?

I recently saw this post on reddit and felt very related by it, does anyone else ever felt like this?

"Has anyone else felt the sudden horrible understanding that we are stuck in existence. Like we will have to face death and whatever happens next. The horror of not ever es xisting again or equally the horror of existing forever eternally as a part of an eternal force. I mean once one truly conceives that it is a horror like non other. Its pure agony and horror at ones own existence as well as everything else. It seems to me that very few people have this profound realization and others are like under some veil. Also religion nor any philosophy can be comforting at all because none offer an escape. Once you are born you are doomed and it cant be undone. This is so agonizing and it brings lack of appetite, not being able to sleep, not being able to function. Everything is so absurd and futile.

Then people try to say to just live with it and have fun while it lasts or other stuff and honestly the fact they say that just brings more despair because you realize they have never truly felt the his deep realization or even come close to undersranding it. Also living in the moment does not solve anything as it is always there and it does not negate what is.

Any one else at least know what I am talking about. This is hell. Its being terrufied of ecistencf abdbkniwing you cant escape it ever, not even dying. One does not want to be alive nor die nor exist in any other plane of existence, but you have no choice to just be. Its unbearable. The fact people are out hthere having kids putting them in this cycle is awful to me."

hmmm...

well, as for the horror of never again existing, doesnt make alot of sense to me bcoz, if you dont exist, theres no horror to experience...

as for the horror of existing throughout all of eternity, ah... yeah, thats the big one. being imposed on this reality over n over again seems awful.

n yet, what is going on, anyways?

i mean, if we were forced upon this existance against our will, who is to say it wont happen again, right? it already happened once, maybe infinite times

well, if its all over, then theres not much to worry about

if we come back, at least we wont remember shit, n may have a another shot at a decent life, as decent as even being alive is ...

if you look at it scientificly, theres still some hope, i guess

the universe has barely began to expand, we still have quazillions of years of experience ahead, assuming we come back

It's going to happen. we are all going to die and never exist again. i do think that most humans don't really understand or even know or believe this whole sentence. do they act like that ?

It seems most people are not sure of what is going to happen after Death . I am sure . first you have to know what is life and what is a human . if you know that than how can you not know what is going to happen after a human "dies".
