I’m only 19 years old and yet I find myself thinking about my own mortality often, the thought of dying gives me great anxiety and distress

How do I get over this?

just keep living

Accept that it's going to come whether you fear it or not and when it does, your decaying flesh won't be worrying in the grave.

Pray to Allah. You shall be granted ever lasting life

Idk live healthy but beyond that not we ain’t promised s***, maybe you should be scared!

it is what it is

I realize this but the thought of this life just ending one day still scares me, I’ve never known anything else

Nah, I'm kinda suicidal so it's like if I died of natural causes it would be less shameful for my fam.

I used to have the same problem at your age, would have a mini panic attack when thinking about it.

Def still freaks me out, but I’ve accepted it a bit more. This immortality argument helped me: would you rather die or live forever? Think about how s***ty living forever would be. It’d get so boring eventually

now that i realized i don’t want to die after coming very close, yes

We live then we die it is what it is y ask y
some get rich some get high
some sit in the Benz and watch time go by

Care to elaborate? I’ve never had a near death experience

Then prioritize living to the fullest than thoughts of death and if you can't then let it motivate you to live to the fullest. Also, it's natural. Some people never reach such a peace till they are on their death beds, but at least you see it as a problem. You can face that demon now

Mike said it best @op

I think about mortality (including my own) pretty often as well. I used to constantly worry about living and dying until I slowly realized that it isn't in my hands. I've started thinking associating death less with my anxieties concerning it and more with my self-image. imo my death isn't in my hands, it's in Allah SWT's so even if I die today or tomorrow, my goal is to be content with who I am as a person rather than worry about disappearing. If I am die at any given moment, then I'd want to be happy with the person who made it that far.

Wow that was beautiful thank you homie

Beautifullly worded brother ❤️

Tyson always coming with wisdom. He been through so much, seen the top and bottom. So wisdom and humbleness come natural.

dont lose that fear cause you dont have a second chance, but dont let it cripple you, act in spite of it and be the best version of yourself

Crazy that we lost like 107 billion people and we still don't know what the afterlife looks like or if there's one? Maybe reincarnation? Or just void? Spooky

No you're the only one.

any specific questions? i think i'm better at conveying that way

Are you comfortable sharing your near death experience and the emotions you felt leading up? If not that’s alright too

Ain't no benefit to fearing something as inevitable and uncontrolled as death. Especially since you don't know when it's gonna be.

Misplaced energy in all honesty. However, there's no problem with pondering the life we live in.
