I am Litterally Petrified of Death

I dont worry about it at all, mostly because i dont think about it.
Im generally careful crossing the road etc etc :P
But im far more afraid of people close to me dieing.
 
Everyone has a different way of dealing with death (family or yourself), if believing in something helps the pain or heartache subside then that's your choice and good luck to you. Personally I do not believe there is anything "out there", I don't need to prove it; it's just what I believe, there are no right or wrong answers.
 
The big crunch was a potential scenario, but it has been disproved now because we know that the expansion of the universe is actually accelerating rather than decelerating, as we previously thought.

I had heard this but it doesn't disprove it as there are theories of dark energy that could still cause a collapse. And whats to say that the universes' acceleration doesn't mimic the same graphical curves of acceleration that we are used to. I don't know what a typical acceleration of an explosion graph looks like so can't comment further on that. Or much about dark energy either. ;)
 
I'm exactly the same and have had this fear for 10 years or so. It's not something that i try to dwell on for too long but it is something that if thought about even a little bit, really petrifies me.

My way of coping with it is just to try and not to think about it. Go to bed early, wake up early and don't have caffeine late. I'm thinking as i get older, I'm only 23, i'll overcome it. If i die of old age then i probably won't know what's happening anyway...i hope.
It gets worse as you get older, and your mortality becomes more evident. Enjoy being 23!
 
Is anyone annoyed at the fact that life will carry on without you? All the things you miss out on, technology,discoveries etc...? I just find that very annoying.
