For past 3 months ive been terrified of death. And by that I mean completely scared. I feel like I'm about to vomit from anxiety, my whole body shakes and my heart races. Whenever I have a "happy" moment I want to cry how it's the last thing like this in my life. It all will pass and I'll never get a chance again. I think of how every second im getting closer to an end. It is both physically and mentally painful. I feel derealization and im never present in current moment.

I am almost sure that there will be nothing after death and that's the worst. I won't ever meet my loved ones again, I imagine my body decomposing and it's awful. I wish I was never born at all.

I am so sad watching my pets age. I remember celebrating their 3rd birthday and now they aren't even playful anymore. It's so depressing that soon they won't be here anymore. I almost cry every time I see them.

Asking because I turn 15 soon and I feel so sad leaving my childhood behind

I am turning 15 this month and I want to be a child a little longer, I dont want to be an adult

I was born in 2011 and I am kind of curious if it will ever be possible for me to be immortal. Is it even possible?

I am 14F and my parents are both atheists. Since I was 11, I had a big, overwhelming fear of death. I have a great relationship with my parents, so I talked to them about that. They found my fear silly, because I won't be there to experience being dead. It wasn't too helpful though, because my main concern is that there won't be an afterlife and I will never see my loved ones again.

How do atheist parents explain this to their children/teenagers? Especially if they share my fear
