Thinking about this a while ago gave me a pretty significant panic attack last year, just two days before my 22nd birthday which fucked me up for a good few weeks. After this (for that and other reasons related to semi-frequent bouts of depression and anxiety) I started seeing a counsellor about my issues. The counselling didn't do much to ease my problems nor solve them and I still have issues today.

It was through doing searches online out of curiosity that I came across the research of Dr Ian Stevenson and Dr Jim B. Tucker, both child psychology researchers at the University of Virginia who studied children across the world claiming to remember living previous lives for decades and had accumulated thousands of case reports.

It was that which gave me hope but now I'm not so sure because as much as I'd hate to believe it, the skeptics have a point. We have no evidence beyond this which suggests the existence of reincarnation and it is based on memories which have either been skewed through confirmation bias, fabricated, imagined or correlated through pure coincidence to suggest consciousness reincarnates in a different body.
