I cannot get over my fear the non-existence after death. Every time I think about it all my feelings start bubbling up and I get depressed. It's terrifying thinking about non-existence, it fills me with so much dread

    But I want to emphasize, I really do think "it's okay to be scared" is the right call, even if I didn't quite pull it off correctly as a teenager. The solution is to build mindfulness, to slowly develop a little interior space in the back of your mind from which you can watch your feelings come and go without being consumed by them.
