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.

@BiasForAction I've spent such a portion of my life obsessed with surviving and keeping myself alive that I guess it starts to cause me strife when I realize I can't do it forever.

Well you are at that age when mortality starts to become real

@BiasForAction Mortality was always real to me. I grew up watching people brutally murdered on a regular basis. Which is why I was so fixated with preventing myself from suffering the same. But it's hitting me now that I can avoid being killed like that, but I can't avoid dying altogether.

And as you said being an astronomer you understand how fragile and temporary we are @BlueMetalChick
