Are you worried about dying? Most people are. Death is something that we will all one day have to face regardless of who we are. The day will come when you have to bite the dust, whether you like it or not. The question is: will you be ready?
Steps1
Realize that suicide is NEVER a credible option. Suicide will rob you of the opportunity to realize any meaning you will likely be enlightened by later on. It will severely grieve your friends and family. Life is a fair balance of trial and joy to ensure that the joy is more sweetly felt while the trial builds an ever stronger character in each one of us. Trial ensures maturation and growth; it enables separation from others' influences and enables us to change into the fully fledged persons we are meant to be. Always remember this when the chips are extremely down for you. Even authors of severely pessimistic books, such as the book "Ecclesiastes" in the Jewish Testament, rebuke suicide because they know that we learn from tribulation and become more open to greater wisdom, even if that greater wisdom also carries a burden of some sorrow. Always some darkness to make the light shine more brightly.

Search for meaning in life so that at the moment of death you will not consider your life wasted. Most societies today are very centered around entertainment, but you will think of your life as wasted if you never really accomplish anything. Helping others to become better people is one such possible way of life. Raising a child well, nurturing a garden, sharing time with the elderly or infirm, teaching, giving of your time even in a job you consider dead-end - all of these activities are worthy and constructive forces in this world. Even the dead-end job is helping in some respect and is teaching you to move on to something better suited to your needs and skills. Always be grateful for what is around you, for what you do have and assign meaning to all that you do. Should meaning elude you for any reason, be ever ready to question why this is so and try to remove the cause of stagnation even if to do so is hard work.Consider religion or reincarnation. You may or may not believe in the subject to be anything more than an interesting topic, but several people believe that religion that offers the possibility of an afterlife brings purpose to this life. Look before you leap, however, before jumping headlong into any religion. And eschew religious beliefs that glorify suicide. These fanatical calls to pure death are a misinterpretation in any religion and are the product of selfish, maladjusted notions that devalue life and its worth.

Understand that death is inevitable. If all you do with your life is worry about losing it, you might as well be dead. This is not a state to ever be in. Enjoy the totality of a day, even those parts of the day that are sad, frightening or awful.5
Read about "terminal restlessness". This is a quite unknown subject which medical institutions try to more or less hide from the public
