When I was 16 I realized that someday I was going to be dead. I am not religious so I that meant that I was not going to exist anymore...ever. I used to spend the nights terrified thinking about it. Over the years I have learned to rationalize it. Instead of worrying about not being. I am grateful for the opportunity of being alive. Also, I have learned that are worst things than dying. (e.g. Living in pain (physical or emotional)) So relax and learn to embrace your own mortality. It is not easy, but you have your whole life ahead to do it.
