By never fully coming to terms with it, just having moments where I don’t think about it. But when I remember that my body will keep aging and that death is real I’m like what is this some kind of cruel joke

So I don't actually thing we (strictly speaking) can DEAL with mortality. It's like we can't do that much about it and we still haven't discovered the formula of immortality.
So I say that the problem is the stress and dread and anxiety and sometimes panic. You need to take it lighter and stay out of some topics that won't bring you joy.

This mindset has honestly saved me from ending it all I’m being dead serious. knowing a lot of situations are out of your hands and all you can do is just ride it out or move on, it is what it is. Sometimes you just got to thug it out. Just remind yourself you have done all you could have and that’s what matters at the end of the day.

the subject of death is so terrifying because
EXISTENCE is all we have EVER known. it is the foundation that causes everything in our lives, without it we wouldn't even be a thought. i think that's why death is so relevant in many religions because the thought of simply NOT existing feels like something that is bigger than us, much like a god or deity. we try to grasp it and comprehend it but we can't, so we create religions to form some sort of relief for that impending doom. taking it all in and really thinking about death when you don't have that belief to clutch on to IS scary.
as someone who's non religious and likes challenging concepts, i've come to the conclusion that spending our limited time in existence worrying about the day we stop existing is nothing more than a waste of time. why be scared of eternal darkness when right now your blood is pumping and your brain is thinking and you've got work in 30 minutes? sitting there trying to conceptualize death will only get your further from accepting it. get up and brush your teeth and go for a walk and listen to music and call a friend. YOU ARE NOW!!!!! and when the time comes that you are not, you won’t be there to worry about it.
even just for general things in the future giving you anxiety, you have to tell yourself that you are now. YOU ARE RIGHT NOW AND RIGHT HERE AND THAT IS THE ONLY THING THAT MATTERS!!!!!!!!!
