What are some good books for someone who struggles to accept that they are going to die someday?

courage, friend
>>7815425 nigger you dont need a book, the only reason you cant accept your own death is that you keep waiting for your life to start. you are alive and you will die (probably) get the fuck off of 4chan and do something. i wish i could.

Well last year I quit my job and went travelling for 7 months, so I have tried to live, I came back more depressed than ever, and now spend half my day wishing I was dead and the other half terrified of dying

find something that you can study, it could be a language, an instrument, or a science. find a way to learn about it (Mit opencourseware, khanacademy, youtube, duolingo) and spend ONE HOUR on it every day, if you feel like you cant do it just tell yourself you only have to last 5 more minutes, and when those 5 minutes are up keep going. just try it. its what fixed my depression.
The idiot by dostoevsky
The bible or any religious book.

This reminds me of a Christmas quite a few years ago when I was 13 or 14, in the period between Christmas Day and going back to school, I had an onset of extreme death anxiety where I was so afraid to die and so afraid of the unknown, yet I wanted to die so I could discover what it was like. I spent most days crying and couldn't sit in the eyeline of a window because I kept seeing the barrel of a gun pointing at me from the other side.
When I went back to school, I never had the problem again, and to this day I can't explain or figure out what was happening and why. I'm pretty sure it was either severe cabin fever or a psychotic episode of some sort (yet I don't have psychosis and never had had), since it was before depression and other shitty mental illnesses kicked in. Whatever it was, it terrified me to fuck; I always thought as a kid that 80 years was a hell of a lot of time yet now weeks are flying by without me even noticing and it's insane.

I did take acid/shrooms about 30 times last year so some sort of mental breakdown is possible. Always been depressed but this acute death anxiety only started last week.
Also suddenly terrified of family members dying, I keep picturing my family unit and wonder who the last one alive will be and it makes me feel physically sick. I feel like a death is imminent.
