I've been really bothered and depressed by this scientific theory for about a month now. I used to have really bad existential anxiety or an intense fear of dying when I was about age 9 to 11. Had panic attacks frequently and my dad would have to take me out for night time walks to help me sleep. I was so afraid of the thought that there was nothing after death. It doesn't scare me as much now. But now it's the "we are a simulation" thought that is gnawing at me. How do you cope with this? I don't really like philosophy, it just feeds into my depression and anxiety.
