I've been going through a total existential crisis for awhile. I'm terrified of death. Both for myself and my loved ones. And because of this pandemic, every time I feel weird I get a panic attack. I've run through every single religion desperate to find some way to find peace with my mortality, but nothing felt right. Is there any philosophy out there that can help me find peace?
You don't! I was in a fear-of-death rut for a month or two that I just got out of. Losing sleep and everything. It's terrifying. But also, it's inevitable, it's natural, and - in a way - it's good. Our time is limited and that scarcity is what gives it value. Worry less about dying and more about living.
