Is it normal to think constantly about how i will die eventually?

So right now I'm a college student and I have so much ahead of me, but one day last month I saw an old lady walk past me, and I realized that one day, that would be me, and that I would die. Then I started to get really dizzy thinking about what's after death and how there will be NOTHING. I'm somewhat religious, but I know that nobody can possibly know if there's anything after death, and the concept of there being nothing is completely unfathomable. I don't ever want to get old or die, because I don't ever want there to be nothing. This keeps me up nights, thinking about how every minute I spend sleeping is a minute I'm not doing something that I won't be able to do when I'm dead, and I've had an eyelid twitch for the month since I first thought of this. Every time I think of it, I feel dizzy and sweaty and like I'm going to throw up.

    Chill dude, I mean if you keep wasting your time thinking about the future then you are letting the present slip by. Just live in the moment and whatever happens, happens.

    A lot of people fear the day of death. However it is not healthy to dread on it constantly. Just live your life man. Sleep when you are tired and when you wake just go on with your life.

    If nothing happens after death then there is nothing to be scared of

      Unless your scared of absolute nothingness. Which seems to be a common fear.

    Everyone does. We just don't talk about it much because we don't want to bum our friends out. But yeah, that thought occurs to me quite often. "Why do I keep getting caught up in the day to day shit that is meaningless in the end." Though sometimes think this snaps me out of a stupid mood and puts me in a good mood.
