Is it wrong for me to be scared to face it? What is your opinion on the matter of death and how can I overcome my fear of it..
What is it like after death? Is it nothingness. I'm worried, scared of death. Don't want to face it?

Nobody can 100% tell you how it feels to be dead, there have been people that had near-death experiences and some have died and come back, but that is only a temporary state. It seems most (or all people) that have experienced these events recall it as a positive, peaceful experience. However, nobody can say for sure what it feels like to actually be dead longer time. There might be nothing or there might be something. You will find out one day, that's guaranteed. In the meantime, try not to worry about things you have no control over and enjoy life to the fullest.
Death is not "like" anything because you are dead. There is no awareness. There is nothing to fear because everybody dies.
The first line of defense against depression and anxiety is B vitamins. Get nutritional yeast powder and/or B-100 pills. Vitamin B2 is a water soluble dye that turns urine bright yellow. When the color fades, it's time for another dose. Read some books about nutrition so you know how to eat right.
Thanks dad.
When his friend Lazarus died, Jesus likened death to sleep. (John 11:11-13) After he said these things, he added: “Lazʹa·rus our friend has fallen asleep, but I am traveling there to awaken him.” 12 The disciples then said to him: “Lord, if he is sleeping, he will get well.” 13 Jesus, however, had spoken about his death. But they imagined he was speaking about taking rest in sleep.
We do not expect a sleeping person to help us, do we? A sleeper is unconscious, unable to act in anyone’s behalf. The Bible explains in simple, easy-to-understand terms the condition of the dead. Note what Ecclesiastes 9:5 states: “The living are conscious that they will die; but as for the dead, they are conscious of nothing at all.”
Well, you can tell by the way I use my walk
I'm a woman's man: no time to talk
Music loud and women warm, I've been kicked around
Since I was born
And now it's all right, I don't care
And you may look the other way
We can try to understand
The new york times' effect on man
Whether you're a brother or whether you're a mother
You're stayin' alive, stayin' alive
Feel the city breakin' and everybody shakin'
And we're stayin' alive, stayin' alive
Ah, ha, ha, ha, stayin' alive, stayin' alive
Ah, ha, ha, ha, stayin' alive
Well now, I get low and I get high
And if I can't get either, I really try
Got the wings of heaven on my shoes
I'm a dancin' man and I just can't lose
You know it's all right, it's ok
I'll live to see another day
We can try to understand
The new york times' effect on man
Whether you're a brother or whether you're a mother
You're stayin' alive, stayin' alive
Feel the city breakin' and everybody shakin'
And we're stayin' alive, stayin' alive
Ah, ha, ha, ha, stayin' alive, stayin' alive
Ah, ha, ha, ha, stayin' alive
Life goin' nowhere, somebody help me
Somebody help me, yeah
Life goin' nowhere, somebody help me, yeah
Well, you can tell by the way I use my walk
I'm a woman's man: no time to talk
Music loud and women warm
I've been kicked around since I was born
And now it's all right, it's ok
And you may look the other way
We can try to understand
The new york times' effect on man
Whether you're a brother or whether you're a mother
You're stayin' alive, stayin' alive
Feel the city breakin' and everybody shakin'
And we're stayin' alive, stayin' alive
Ah, ha, ha, ha, stayin' alive, stayin' alive
Ah, ha, ha, ha, stayin' alive
Life goin' nowhere, somebody help me
Somebody help me, yeah
Life goin' nowhere, somebody help me, yeah
I'm stayin'
Death is not the end. It is just a bend. There is no need to worry. We worry because of the unknown that lies beyond death and the loss of all that is known. Let us prepare for death. Let us realize that we cannot escape death. Let us accept the fact that nothing will belong to us, and learn to live with it. Beyond death is nothingness. The Mind, the Ego, the ‘ME’ that was alive in the body, as per its Karma, is reborn in a new body. As we do in life, that will come back to us. But if we realize the truth that we are not even the mind and the ego that is going to be reborn, then we will be liberated as the Divine Soul and we will be united with God- that is our ultimate goal.
Death is not the end, death is just a bend. Only the body dies, but the Mind and the Ego, the ME along with its Karma takes rebirth. Therefore, there is no need to fear death. Whatever is your deed, so will be your destiny. Heaven and hell exist on earth. Therefore, don't be worried or scared. Just do good Karma and you will have a life of joy. If you don't want to come back to earth, to be reborn, then go in quest of self-realization. Realize you are not the body that dies, you are not even the mind and ego that is reborn. You are the Divine Soul. Then, you will be liberated from rebirth and after liberation, there will be unification with Divine.
You are not the only one who is scared of death, many people are scared of death. We are scared of death because of the fear of losing all that is ours, our people, our possessions. At death, nothing belongs to us, so we are scared. And we are also scared of the unknown beyond death. So, in fact, the whole world is scared of death. You are not the only one. However, remember one thing, that death is certain. Nobody can escape death, therefore learn to accept death. Realize that death is only of the body, not of you. That’s why when the body dies, they cremate or bury the body but, you, the one who was alive in the body, you are liberated. What is there to be scared of? At death only one of the two two things can happen - if you do not realize you are the Divine Soul, you will be reborn based on your actions, so take care of your actions and do good actions. If there is rebirth, you will be born in unfortunate circumstances if your deeds are bad. If your deeds are good, you will be reborn into a happy life. But the ultimate goal is to realize you are the Soul. If you realize you are the Soul, you will be liberated and united with the Divine. That is the goal.
This question has nothing to do with depression. The person is asking about it because they're scared of it, not about killing themselves.
