You are going to die someday. Billions before you have died, and billions will die. It's part of life.
There, that wasn't so hard!
None of the people that have died wanted to die : The desire to stay alive is an evolutionary gift, your fear of death is natural. Especially while you are so young.
Fear of death is natural! Congratulations, you're a successful biological organism! YAAAAY. Get up and dance!
I see you're very bright, because of your imaginative projections of lifes permutations (although quite dark) - but remember, fear is the burden of imagination, but your intellect can help you bare it.
I grant you that it is entirely possible that a brain haemorrhage will kill you in the night. It's possible a plane will crash into your house and flatten you. Its possible the lottery ticket you got was a winning one. But none of these are very likely. We KNOW that. It's just a numbers game.
Enjoy your life. challenge your imagination to come up with positive outcomes rather than negative ones. Imagine if we could load our brains into a robot and live forever! How do you think a mind would react to different situations if it was 1000 years old and had seen 5 world wars? What conclusions might this mind come to when it meets your 20 year old self now? What would you ask it? If you were that mind, what would you ask yourself?
Dont answer immediately, think for 5 minutes, and when a thought comes into your mind, ask "why did I have that thought", "what does that thought mean with respect to the future", "how can I take this idea further"
let your mind wander, but keep it from getting stuck in darker places. Dark places are fine, but dont dwell.
Joke. Laugh. Humor always emcompasses a wider perspective.
