I think maybe your problem is that you feel like there is so much left to do, but when you consider that you could die tomorrow, you get frustrated and just go on a downward spiral. What you need to do is to realize that YES, you are going to be dead and gone forever some day, and so you need to experience as much joy in life as you can.

When you wake up every morning be glad that today is another day and that you can do anything you want. Be with friends, be with family, find someone and something that makes you the happiest.



YOU'RE ALIVE! And life is great. Now go do something awesome.
Yes your right I did feel what you just explained... I have no Idea how you knew that.... something in me wants to believe in religion though.... I feel so depressed if there was no afterlife for some reason... maybe it's a stage of denial?
