Re: L/C Help me. Lack of an afterlife leads me do depression.
Pragmatic advice: Seek help and I'd certainly curtail the drinking considering you have two young children to raise.
Philosophical advice: There isn't a solution. Most everybody needs a reason to get throughout the day without the ennui of despair. I've been in a similar situation and gone completely nuts over it with the aid of substances. Definitely not something I suggest as an optimal path.
This is what I don't get, if you think there's nothing when you die, why even fear death? While I understand the despair you speak of, over time logic will make you realize you shouldn't fear or embrace it, but be indifferent to it. It happens anyway.
Awareness of infinity is one of the prices of self-awareness. Tough [censored], but it can be dealt with.
