I'm scared

[Spin]

Of dying. Like really scared. If I think about it real hard then I'll just start crying. It's getting to me way to much. I just can't get over the fact that in 70 or so years I won't even exist. And what if there is no heaven or whatever? Then what, you just rot in the ground? So what was the point of living in the first place? To make a difference and then not even being around to enjoy it. I don't even think this is normal for someone my age to be so worried about it. I'm going out of my mind just thinking about it. Seriously ever since I started thinking about it a lot, which was like last week, I've felt like i'm in a totally different world. Like I'm not even me anymore. And I feel like life is going by so fast. It was just 4pm and now its 6:48 pm just like that. I don't even know how to explain how I'm feeling. I just needed to rant here real fast I guess.

I was thinking similar things at your age so I wouldn't rush to condemn you. Is it normal to feel like this? Nearly everyone will feel these feelings and think these thoughts. However, it isn't normal.

Are these thoughts invading on your personal life? By that I mean your daily social life.

Has something happened recently to focus your attention on this? If it has, then it might be best to address that, and the feelings about whatever that was.

Man is the only creature born with the ability to know his own mortality, we all know that we'll die someday. Although that can be a sad or scary thought, it also provides a poignant reminder that time is not limitless, and that you should prioritize and make sure you're living life to it's fullest.

70+ years from now is a loooong time away. It's what happens between now and then that matters the most. Make the right kind of plans to make it important time.

Not really. I've been home sick for the past couple of days so I've had a lot of time to think about it and no distractions. But even when I went back to school today it was in the back of my mind. Should I go see a shrink or someone about this?

Well I was in Biology and we were talking about how the earth started and then people were asking questions like "What would happen if the earth stopped rotating?" and "When will the sun die out?", and all these end of the world related questions and then it just got me thinking about death and yeah.. This isn't the first time when I've worried about it for a little while but I dunno. I just feel like I'm the only one my age that thinks about it like this.
