I have death anxiety and I'm depressed, please help me?

I haven't done anything extraordinary in my life. I only dream of writing a story, drawing cartoons and Making Video games, but i never do them. when ever i try to write my fiction story or read a book, i completely loose interest and just either go on the internet or watch tv. I'm in my 20s, but i feel like i'm going no where, and that every second i waste time, every time i hesitate, i'm one step closer to death. I even feel like killing myself since i lack the disciplinary will power to do what i always THOUGHT of doing

    You should do what you dream to do, things such as writing, drawing cartoons and making videos can be easy if you follow some tutorials and take some classes. You can purchase some programs or software and give it a go. I expect you are bored with all the "watching" and needs something different, when your mind is not occupied with something that is not satisfying for long periods, you'll eventually develop unnecessary anxieties. It has happened to me.

    Death is something that happens naturally and is hard to predict, but instead of fearing it, try to make yourself not regret your life, at the end of the day doing something satisfying can add color to your life : )

    All of us will die. My preparation for it is that I don't want to be desperate when it happens. Whether it's expected or not, I want there to be a certain sense of serenity. I know it sounds crazy, but if a guy pulls a gun on you and suddenly you only have seconds on this Earth, I will need to access this serenity quickly. Suddenly, certain aspects of my life are not so important. I hope I do it right.

    You're not required to be famous or talented or do tremendous things, take a load off.

    If you can manage to make enough cash to pay your bills, that much will be greatly appreciated.

    Don't worry about death, you're not fated for anything that the rest of us aren't. Live for the moment.
