It sounds like being trapped in a coffin while alive. How could it not freak you out, youve literally created the most terrifying scenerio known to man and convinced yourself that that fate is awaiting you. But think of it this way- to even suffer from anxiety and lose your mind, you need to be sentient and conscious. The good news is that weve already experienced and conquered what is practically eternity- the vast time before we were born in this life. Were you stressing and suffering during all that time? No, because there was not even a sense of self (at least like we recognize here on Earth) to exist outside of this life before or after that could register anything, let alone experience anxiety and suffering- or we were busy living lives and experiences before this one that we dont remember (making us immune to a sense of endless time if it always feels like its new) ... Maybe its neither of those possibilities and its something we cant yet comprehend. Believe what you will, but find relief in the fact that the only thing that can NOT happen is that what youre fearful of. Its a paradox. Even if these words offer no help, my advice for your life now is to just give yourself time. Ironically, time is the one thing on your side, because the human brain is remarkable and can see itself through ANY mental battle given time. Took me years, but your mind will grow stronger than your fears. Wish you all the best
