I was in bed the other night and it suddenly hit me that I, and everyone else will die and that after death there may possibly be nothing, i.e. I will no longer exist and this thought I fills me with a sense of overpowering dread. I like to think that I believe in God but even so I have spent a few days feeling depressed that everything will end and after that there will be nothing, I want my conciousness to remain for eternity, has anyone else felt like this? Whenever I probe too far down this road of thought I start to panic and the worst part is that there is nothing I can do about it, even if I did live forever the universe would eventually end.
Yes I know its christmas sorry for these dark thoughts.

Phillip Larkin wrote a poem called 'Aubade' about this feeling: http://www.poetryfoundation.org/poem/178058
There isn't really an answer, other than to try and put it out of your mind and get on with life. -
