I don't think living forever would make everyone bat shit crazy. You will still live your life day by day, year by year and decade by decade. Your daily life won't be that different and humans usually don't contemplate and derive meaning from their own mortality that much.
I think it would make humans happier. Happiness and life satisfaction increases with age. Add better health to that and I don't see how this could be that bad.
Currently mortality per year for 20-25 year olds is around 1 in 2'650 for men and 1 in 4'000 for women. I would expect that the risk of death is lower for someone with the health of a 20-25 year old and the experience of a 100 year old.
I'm not sure this would happen, but I can imagine that the focus on accident and suicide prevention would be higher, so Ten of Thousands of years of average life expectancy don't seem unreasonable.
