Is it normal that i'm terrifed of the world ending?

Let me start by saying that I don't mean I worry about it ending soon, but more the big picture - the sun dying out, the universe expanding till it collapses as experts say. I think anyway, I hate hearing all the theories involving the universe and the big bang.

So basically at night sometimes when we're all alone in the dark and the bad thoughts come, I will eventually start thinking about how eventually nothing will exist - NOTHINGNESS terrifies me. The idea that there is no life anymore, how there isn't even blackness because blackness is something. So I get these thoughts and I feel panicky. I have to sit up, breathe deeply all the time my stomach feels like I've just taken a drive on a rollercoaster.

I know the big elephant in the room here is that I will be long long dead before the world/universe does end, and that maybe my concern should be more with me dying, not the universe. I just can't get over it. Nothingess scares me. No life, no thought, no sound, nothing.

Any comments on how I can get over this fear would be appreciated.

      Amen. I believe that God will do this. And we won't be left with nothing. But we will be surrounded by his glory and surrounded by indescribable beauty!

    There are a lot of galaxies out there that probably have as much life as we have on this planet, or more. It's silly to think all life ends with us.

    Plus, our sun may become a nebula (or a white dwarf...) and form another star.

    Those theories aren't set in stone, although they seem like inevitable facts. Every generation thinks they are at the pinnacle of scientific knowledge.

    Why not think about nuclear destruction, rising sea levels, famine, disease, terrorism, and pestilence instead?

    a little different than the standard for of existential crisis, but it still sounds like one nonetheless, the standard, of course is being worried that there is nothing after death and that they will become nothing

    Watch shows on you tube like cosmos. The main problem is mankind. The second is a comet - asteroid hitting us.

    Its not realy the fear of the world ending as much as it is the fear of something you don't understand which cuts across most of the things man doesn't understand.
    All I can tell you is that its pointless to worry about it.Not because you will be long dead by then but because there's not a fucking thing anyone can do about it.I say live life,love laugh...the universe will take care of itself.as it always has.
