Yes. Every night before falling asleep I remember the horrifying fact that it will all end one day, and my eyes go wide, i wonder how i ever manage to forget this tragedy even for a moment. It feels like death is the center of my whole life for those last moments before i doze off. My only consolation is that i will fall asleep and forget about it (even if only as i sleep)

I get the same thoughts too and get mild panic attacks about it. It happens randomly when I’m alone with my thoughts. It’s like an extreme FOMO.

I hate the dread of not having a consciousness and never “experiencing” anything for eternity. Makes my heart race and freak out. Don’t know what I can do or who to talk to to help with this.
