Fear of death/mortality

Is there a way we can accept death? Since i was about 7yrs old i've had thoughts of death and over the years it has turned  into a terrible fear.I am 15 now. i usually only think adout death at night and the fear never affects me during the day. If i talk about death  during the day i often wont be bothered by it even if i attend a funeral the fear wont reach me but at night its truley awful. At night when i think about it i often dont think about ways to die such as being hit by a car or death by illness, nor do i even think about the process of dying. What i mostly think about is disapearing from this world forever, being swallowed by infanite darkness, and being so easily forgotten by this ever-moving world. The fear of no longer existing haunts me in nights depriving me of sleep and giving me only uncontrollable shuddering in the darkness.Is there anyway to escape this fear? is there a way i can have my restful nights back?

I used to have the same feelings. They started when I was 11, and I'm 15 now. After I became a vegetarian, all of my anxiety went away, so I would try that for a couple weeks. I would also write poetry when I was having an attack, and that helped a lot. It might help you to have your feelings on a piece of paper, instead of in your brain. I hope I could help! :)
