I'm not trained in psychology or anything. But then it's not allowed to give advice on personal issues, I think for this forum anyway.
However, maybe we can discuss the topic from a psychological perspective.

I like to talk about these things a lot and death is a wonderful topic to consider! It's that inevitable thing that many are afraid to look at.
That interests me.

I found Carl Jungs writing and thoughts comforting and inspiring many times in the past.
Here is an interview you might enjoy. He is a little hard to understand with his accent.

The longer interview is on youtube also, covering other topics.

This might be of interest too.

How Jung Suggests We View Death

First, as noted above, Jung admits death is a mystery, something we cannot completely understand, describe, explain or image. Death throws up a question that we cannot answer. But, for all the frustration that implies, we must try to grapple with it. Why? Jung replies: “Not to have done so is a vital loss. For the question … is the age-old heritage of humanity: an archetype, rich in secret life, which seeks to add itself to our own individual life in order to make it whole.”[32]
Death is an archetype, one of the experiences we all have, like birth, growing, creating, aging. As an archetype it has intent, i.e. it wants something from us. It seeks to generate behaviors.[33] Like what? Reflection, introspection, a turning within, tending to our soul, appreciating things psychic, like dreams and intuitions, and a deepening of our love of mystery. Death asks us to integrate within ourselves more of reality, including that aspect of ourselves that exists outside space and time. In this way it strives to enrich individual life and make it more whole.[34]
Death also prompts us to become more self-aware, to create more consciousness. Death wants us to use it as a goad to developing more of our potential.[35] Jung experienced this in his near-death experience, when he saw what he had been and what he had lived, and it all was a fait accompli. And he had no regrets.[36]

Personally I view death as a goal, because I have no choice but to go there anyway. So I own my responsibilities and the inevitable. I take it for my own.
I look forward to my death. At least the non existance. Not the very moment itself. I look forward to living this life I have. I look to the present most times and to the future for reaching my goals and finding my motivations.
The past for remembering who I am now and to remember where my power comes from and that I do have certain powers and strengths that I can rely on.

I don't think it's strange you have these thoughts of death. I find it a healthy response. Really no matter whatthoughts you think, I believe it comes down to perspective. How you think you feel about it and how you do feel about it.
Death as a symbolic idea can mean the end of one thing and the beginning of another.
If it was the beginning of a new life symbolically speaking or in your dreams, it might be easy then to see why it is not a sad thng or out of fear. It could be a whole new adventure. And that might be the foundations for the ideas of heaven and afterlife. To allow us to keep moving forward.

I have also learned through philosophy that we need friction and struggle to go forward. Without it we get weak and fall away. Death seems like the ultimate friction, the anti thesis to life, and so I think my complete acceptance of the idea of death, has actually given me the power to let go of the fear and live my life more freely, intuitively and for my self. I have faced that friction unconsciously and consciously over the years and I think it has made me strong and thought me to let go and enjoy.

With regard to the idea of it happening soon? I do feel that too.
I have legitimate reasons for it too considering my health, but only a risk of certain illnesses. But yes, I feel often I willdie young and i have no fear of it. I have already let go and accepted it. i feelno stress and I just think I will make the most of life either way.
It doesn't disturb me of prevent me from living my life. I think thatis most important. As long as it is not a fear or paralysis in some way. If it feel liberating I am thinking it might be a healthy frame of mind.
If it's something most would not understand, it maybe because, most have an unhealthy view of death.

You should read into the greeks philosophies. They embraced evil, death,love and life, equally. They had gods for different virtues, seemingly as a way to safely harbour and accomodate these various archetypal trends in humanity.
All the academics I have read who wrote about the greeks, believe they were the highest society we know of, due to these traditions.

go see a doctor


impending sense of doom feelings can be serious

just as an example : Scombroid food poisoning - from mackeral etc

I was slightly hot and had a mild headache but, more than that, an odd sensation suddenly hit me that I was about to die. It sounds melodramatic, but I can only describe it as a tremendous and overwhelming sense of impending doom.

I felt perfectly calm and had no other symptoms – no racing pulse, no nausea or dizziness – but the feeling that I was about to die was so strong that I turned to Dan and said, 'There's nothing wrong with me, but I think I'm going to die. I have to get to a hospital.'

Much later, when the consultant, Dr Kirkwood, visited me, I asked her what had happened.

She said that if I'd arrived ten minutes later at the hospital, I would have died.

The sense of impending doom I experienced is one of the rarer symptoms of this type of food poisoning.
