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?

    I've tried various philosophical perspectives, but mostly I trained myself to only think about death intellectually so I don't experience the wave of horrifying existential dread that washes over me when I actually contemplate non-existence. Wow that was not comforting after typing it out.
