TW for talk of death!! I’m a 16 y/o person with severe anxiety and major depressive disorder. I haven’t been doing good lately, but I have been managing to hang in there. The title says it all, but to be more specific, I’m not sure how to cope with the fact that I will grow up one day and become old and frail just to die soon after. The thought of everyone I love passing and leaving me along sits heavy on my mind, and the fact that there is no guarantee of an afterlife makes it even worse. I have no idea how to make myself feel better and nothing that I’ve looked up works. It’s gotten to the point where it plagues my thoughts and makes me anxious all day, often resulting in nights of me crying and having my mother sit with me. Any advice is needed, and thank you to anyone who reads this!!
