A little while ago I had a sudden realization that someday, I’m going to die. I mean, I’ve known it all my life, I never thought I’d live forever but it suddenly hit me then. About a few months ago, this happened. Ever since, I’ve been terrified of death and growing old. Apparently I’m now gerascophobic, as I’m terrified of growing old and soon awaiting for death. I know that this’ll be a long time before it happens but it still terrifies me.
I now sometimes think “What’s the point in doing this if we’re going to die in the end anyway?” and I know that’s silly and it all sounds silly but I do think that for some weird reason. I still want to live my life, I still want to earn good grades and pursue my career but I still think this…
I’m not a religious person, but I think maybe considering that there is a God might help. It’s the lack of control of what happens when you die: there is none! I guess I’m scared that I’ll just disappear when I go and I’ll be nothing after this life. I know this all sounds silly but this is affecting my life and making me kind of screwed up and starting a lot of issues and teen angst, which I really don’t need as I’m starting my final year of school and I really need to concentrate. It’s gotten to the point where I haven’t eaten or slept properly in three weeks and it’s probably because I’m on school holidays and that I’ve been having a big break so that makes me think about things a lot more. Once I get back to school, I’ll be back on track and everything will be fine with my eating and sleeping patterns. I’m just not so sure if that’s related to my sudden fear.
I’ll take any suggestion, paths to heaven, afterlife, anything that could give me closure and get on with my life. This sounds silly, I know and if you don’t have anything nice to say and all you do is criticise, think of something better to do because I won’t take any notice and you’ll have just wasted this. I’ll appreciate any genuinely nice and helpful response, I think I need it.
I know it sounds silly, but everyone has problems right? Thank you!
well you just kinda got to get over it and yeah someday u are going to die (unless yyou a robot!!!!!!)

We were therefore buried with him through baptism into death inorder that, just as Christ was raised from the dead through the glory of the Father, we too may live a new life. If we have been united with him like this in death, we will certainly also be united with him in his resurrection.
1 Corinthians 15:55- O death, where is thy Sting? o grave, where is thy victory ? the sting of death is sin; and the strength of sin is the law. But thanks be to God, Which giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.
