how to stop being afraid of death?

i was born to fail. if i dont kill myself now i will have to do it in the future anyway cuz i have multiple reasons why i know i wont be able to cope in life. i cant even imagine living to the avarge age at which people usually die… its definitely too long for me. i know i want to die but for some reasons im still terribly afraid of death. most often i think about it what will happen after death and ofc the most logical thing is that there will be nothing and its gonna be the same before i was born but im still terrified. i also have visions in which i fail my attempt and i become a disabled person for the rest of my life. can someone please help me and convince me that death isnt so scary after all? i need some good arguments that will finally make me realize that there is nothing to be afraid of

Hey. It sounds like you are in pain and you have nothing to lose at this point. Why not just go for it and get yourself on an antidepressant? I had no idea that constant fear wasn't normal, I thought it helped me live my life correctly. Now I see that I was living in Hell, because my brain was wired a bit wrong. I live HAPPILY now, and my family is happy for me, tell your family that you're at the end of your rope and get help. The situation could change so drastically that you will appreciate how different and interesting life can be from what it is right now. Please consider it.

I have one more thing to add and it may not apply to you, so if it doesn't, please do not even listen to me right now, BUT: If you are someone that is considering killing others, such as a mass shooting or something of the sort, please do the right thing and end your own life rather than ruin others' lives. There are really good people out there who truly do not deserve to lose their children, their parents, their loved ones, etc. I assure you this, it's never the right choice. You can take your own life instead.

But with THAT out of the way, if you are just a person in pain, PLEASE raise the alarm, it's time. Your mind is very likely functioning temporarily in a way it shouldn't. The thing about people that are young is they really can't SEE that their situation is temporary. So many lives are lost because young people really can't imagine anything beyond right now. Time heals, and time gives gifts, stuff you never even thought of. There is a whole life for you, do something interesting with it if you're this upset with how it's going. Tell people. Switch things up. Make things change just by speaking up.
