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

    Researching near death experiences (NDEs) helped me a ton with this. It's anecdotal evidence so it's weak but if you stack it all up from across history and cultures it starts to paint a fuzzy picture. I don't think death means non existence anymore. We don't fully understand what awaits us but from what little I've heard, it's a very nice place we go to.

      Don't forget to not to search these things compulsively, or it might lead into other issues.
