I have been having terrible death anxiety lately. I'm far too aware of my own mortality. [Spirituality & Religion]

I'm so afraid to die.

That's normal but death isn't really something to be feared its the fact that we don't really understand it and we have morphed it into something morbid and have lots of taboos around it when its just a natural part of life.
When I lost members of my family I felt anxiety around their passing and my own.
I found listening to Alan watts on youtube talking about death very helpful... You should check it out.
Sometimes I still get a wave of fear because its natural but now that I've learned to accept the loss of my loved ones Id be more afraid to live forever than anything.

@MushroomFaerie It leads me to think about the continuation of humanity as well, and being an astronomer, I know too much about that too lol
@BlueMetalChick memento mori. That goes for the species and the planet as well. Unfortunately being alive causes alot of anxiety but in reality its not a big deal
