It's normal to consider your mortality. It's also very scary. It's hard to say, "Try not to think about it" because it exists everywhere around you.
Maybe try to change your focus a little. Think about what you want to do in the time you are alive. You don't want to feel like you didn't live or experience enough. Make a bucket list.
It all will end someday for all of us. Focus on what you will do before that time comes for you. Remember, the gap between living and dying from now to then is largest now. So use that time wisely and death will become less scary.
The more things you accomplish in life, the less it will scare you.
I hope that helps. I'm scared, but because there are major things I haven't done with my life. Sometimes I become depressed and feel like I'm running out of time. But I take a step back.
"As long as we continue to think we will be happy in the future, we will never be happy in the moment, and that is the same as saying that we
will never be happy. If we think that our lives will be better when we get that better job or retire, stay or go, gain or lose weight, or when our
children grow and leave or come back, we are putting off the happiness that there is in today."
