How do you keep on living while knowing that you will die? (kbin.social)

I don't know how to do it. I am so terrified of dying that I haven't been able to sleep well for a very long time. Everything I do seems shallow and hollow - so how does everyone just keep on moving forward, keep setting goals, keep making progress?

Find someone to love who makes you happy, try to find something you can tolerate that will pay the bills, and look for activities or communities that keep you active and help connect you with others.

Death is an inevitability, and wasting your life because you're too busy worrying about something you can't control or prevent does nothing but make you miserable. Find someone/something that makes you happy and helps you get through the days. Having a real human connection makes the process easier, even when you have to face the death of someone you care for.
